#MovementTipTuesday I don’t know who said it first. It’s been thrown around by coaches, sports commentators, etc. In all honesty, who cares who said it. It’s been rephrased in many different ways and it’s most likely that the guy taking credit for it today got it from his old school coach who’s no longer with us. . I think this statement remains true for ANYTHING. . . If you’re an athlete, then the best ability you can have is to be available. So why wouldn’t you prioritize capacity and longevity in your training? . . If you’re a coach/trainer, both you and your client’s availability are paramount. So if we are not working to improve capacity and durability in a targeted and specific way for ourselves and our clients, then what are we doing? . If you’re anyone else, think about your playing fields. You get paid to be productive at your day job, not to do your recreational activity. Are you available for work, available for the activities you’re passionate about, or how about your kids? Oh and then there’s sex... Can’t do that well with a busted back and funky hips now can you? .🤷🏾♂️ . Is back pain, hip pain, knee pain, etc keeping you off YOUR playing field? . . If the answer is yes, how is your current approach to movement, fitness, training, or whatever you want to call it having a positive impact in changing/improving that for you? . . Today’s tip is prioritize health of your body as the foundation for all that you desire. I’m not saying don’t enjoy doing challenging stuff or to set a low bar for your activities. I’m saying, we should prepare for extremes and highlighting that we don’t get paid to physically abuse our body to those extremes. And even if we did, what financial value would you trade today for a body that is broken and in chronic pain tomorrow?.🤷🏾♂️ . 👉🏾 Real question… Drop a comment below. . See you in NYC this weekend for the Movement Arts Summit. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvc-8uOHpGk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k417nzf6uh4c
