On this episode, I am re-joined by friend Daniel Yores to discuss the key points from my 2024 marathon attempt. Dan is a personal trainer and the host of The Daniel Yores Podcast. He had me on his podcast to ask questions about my training, what obstacles I faced and how race day went. We also briefly discussed what his goals were and what we plan on doing in 2025.

QUESTION — Have you set any goals for 2025? Reply and let me know if you want to share them?

On this episode I’m joined by David Weck, the inventor of the BOSU ball and many other training tools who has been a major influence on my understanding of body, movement and athleticism. He has a wealth of knowledge and I had an opportunity to video conference and record with him 3 different times to discuss these subjects which we are both so passionate about. As it’s 3 different conversations together, the podcast length is close to 3 hours so feel free to pause and come back to it several times.

To give you an idea of some of the topics covered, David started with the concept of volumetric displacement of the core as a way to understand the internal and external torsion necessary for fundamental survival activities like locomotion, swinging, throwing, catching, and carrying.

He talked about how efficient movement is about pruning away inefficiencies and emphasizing the intelligent use of the skeleton as the body's strong framework. We touched on the relationship between structure and function: the main principle being that structure dictates function, and function reshapes structure over time. Next we covered fascia, the ubiquitous tissue container and network of the nervous system of the body, which plays a pivotal role in coordinating movement, linking different parts of the body, and enabling polar muscle activation.

Also, David addressed the biggest misconception in the fitness industry where people are taught that the main function of the spine is anti rotation and that it should be stiff, which is incorrect.

We both highlighted rope flow as a powerful movement tool that reinforces the coiling core movement pattern, a pattern that instills a "poised to pounce" readiness and enhanced fight-or-flight capability.

That is just scratching the surface of what we talked about. Please enjoy and leave a comment.

QUESTION — Have you heard of the BOSU ball before?

On this episode of the podcast (watch on YouTube), I am re-joined by my personal trainer friend Daniel Yores to discuss the results of our 2023 goals. On episode 19 from April last year, we revealed what kinds of fitness goals we were working on for the year and how we planned to accomplish them. We made a promise to each other to do a follow up episode to check the outcomes of our goals, so here it is.

QUESTION — Have you set a goal personal fitness goal for 2024?
