Mobility and Strength the High Performance Human Way * Simon Ward

This week Simon returns with Part 2 of his 3-week solo cast series outlining how he would set up an athlete's training programme following the High Performance Human principles.

In this episode, he outlines why mobility and strength play such a key role in human and athletic performance. He also has a few tips on how you can incorporate both into what probably feels like an already packed schedule.

Specific topics covered include:

• How to avoid being an active couch potato
• The importance of daily movement practice once you hit 40 and beyond
• Simple options for busy people. (TIP: it’s not that hard to find time)
• How improved mobility can lead to faster times in the pool
• Strength training to build resilience and better consistency with your swim, bike, and run training
• Key benefits of a year-round strength programme
• How to build strength in less than 60 minutes each week
