10aeb Ben Greenfield Fitness — Free performance, nutrition and fat loss advice
Stork Running

In case you didn’t notice, it’s been a little while since I published a chapter of the book I’ve been slaving away on: Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health & Life.

There’s a good reason for this.

See, my goal in life is to help you achieve your dreams, and to teach you how to be healthy on the outside and healthy on the inside while achieving those dreams.

But last week, I found out some pretty disturbing things about my stress levels. And I realized that I need to slow down a bit. To pull my own parachute, so to speak. And it’d be pretty ironic to write a book about how to achieve the optimal balance of health and performance if I wasn’t really following my own rules, would it?

So I slowed down.

OK, OK, maybe I procrastinated a little bit too. C’mon, YOU try churning out a book. 

But in the meantime, I do have some really good news. I’ve finished another section of the book for you! Check out the video below, then keep reading to learn how to make grimacing, ugly faces just like me. And remember – you and I are writing this book together, so be sure to leave your feedback, comments or suggested edits below, and I promise to reply.

Mobility

The section of “Beyond Training” you’re about to read addresses a key component of endurance that I’ve found to be sorely neglected (pun intended!) in the training of nearly every individual on the face of the planet. If you pay attention to what you’re about to learn, you’re going to absolutely change your life by changing the way your body feels 24-7, forever.

The topic we’re digging into today is mobility – namely the way your joints, tendons, ligaments, appendages and body moves.

After all, no matter how much of those first three essential elements of strength, power or speed you’ve built, you’re going to find that your joints slowly degrade, your body gradually falls apart, and you move like an awkward stork unless you also optimize your mobility.

Let’s begin with an example…
