Show by Hailey Happens Fitness + Love By Laura
What if your body came with a maintenance manual and you've just been ignoring it? In this episode of The Body Pod, hosts Hailey and Laura sit down with Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, the legendary movement and mobility experts behind Built to Move and The Ready State, for a conversation that will completely change how you think about your body in midlife. From hip extension to voodoo flossing, the Starretts break down why most women are unknowingly setting themselves up for injury, chronic pain, and lost function and exactly what to do about it.The conversation dives deep into the most overlooked mobility issue affecting midlife women (hint: it's not your ankles), why sitting on the floor for 30 minutes a day might be the sneakiest and most effective mobility practice available, and how to audit your current strength and conditioning program to know if it's actually building the bone density and muscle mass you need. Kelly and Juliet also tackle the perfectionist mindset trap that causes so many women to push through pain and overtrain, the truth about "core work" and why you might want to ditch it, and why a quality strength and conditioning practice is a must.Whether you're brand new to lifting or years into your fitness journey, this episode is your guide to training smarter, moving better, and staying injury-free for decades to come. Learn the key markers of a quality strength program, why hip extension is the single most common mobility deficit in women, how to use voodoo flossing to manage soreness and recover faster, and more. If you're a woman in midlife who wants to sprint on the beach, hike the Grand Canyon, and keep doing the things you love, this episode is essential listening.Our Fit Friday Sale starts November 13th!
