How to Be in the Ready State with Dr. Kelly Starrett

Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast

This week’s episode is a re-run of a conversation with Dr. Kelly Starrett (also known as K-Starr in the Crossfit world) from 4 years ago. Kelly is a renowned expert in strength and mobility. He is a coach, physical therapist, two-time New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, speaker, and the co-founder of The Ready State, home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of guided movement, mechanics, and mobility instructional videos.

This is a great time of year to start new habits and if I was to recommend one addition to your daily routine it would be mobility.

In our conversation, we cover a wide range of topics, including:

• The definition of mobility
• The importance of identifying what works and rejecting what doesn’t
• The concept of ‘position transfer exercise’ as an alternative term for mobility
• How to create a durable body for optimal ‘play’ in everyday life
• Recommendations for daily mobility practices
• Using social media as an educational tool
• The significance of good mobility in controlling movement rather than compensating
• The debate around foam rolling: to roll or not to roll?
• Embracing ‘adventure fitness’ over traditional racing

Join us for an insightful discussion that will elevate your understanding of mobility and fitness!
