Ep 101 - What the heck is STRENGTH? Defining fitness industry terms, part one (Strength, Conditioning, Stability)

Join a community of people diving deeper into a biomechanics, functional fitness training, nutrition, online entrepreneurship, and self mastery with Anthony in THE FORGE; weekly calls and access to a library of comprehensive high-ticket grade courses: https://www.skool.com/throughtheforge/about We (Dr. Will and Anthony Manuele) have done 109 episodes of The Art of Move Podcast- a show that sought to seek the 'grand unified theory' of human movement and biomechanics. It explored ideas about functional fitness, fascia, feet, and fun stuff that others weren't having in depth conversations about, from the angles that we wanted to hear people talking about, but didn't find anywhere else. We attempted to bridge the gap of the 'in-fighting' in the alternative/progressive functional fitness space, tried to bring the innovative methods of coaches and systems to bigger audiences, and debated, digested, and discussed every angle we could find about the subject. Over the few years we ran the show, we met some incredible people, interviewed industry leaders, and learned a LOT about the human body ourselves. Our movement practices and physicality morphed and evolved as our perspectives did. We're both incredibly grateful for everything that we experienced, for all the connections we made, for all the ways the show helped us personally upgrade, and of course, all the beautiful messages from the audience who were taking the journey with us. As we wrap up this chapter of our personal journeys, we hope you enjoy this final 'wrap up' episode where we discuss what's next for us personally, what projects we're going to be working on, and how you can keep joining us for future conversations about movement and biomech. This isn't the last we'll be collaborating on shows; Anthony will continue to produce longform on the Peak Players Podcast, and Will is livestreaming on many subjects around movement, rehab, biomech and more. We'll be doing collaborative shows together regularly. Thank you dearly to everyone who supported the show, sent us feedback, connected with us personally, gave us suggestions for guests... we love you, and will forever be grateful for the community that grew around this show! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-art-of-move/message

Our conversation delved deep into the mechanical nuances of movement, and the strategies/philosophies of how to train them therein. With an impressive resume of training professional athletes, and a passion for the biomechanical details of the human body, Joel delighted us with a passionate discussion that went deep in many places. Elasticity? Progressive overload for functional movement? Body awareness, fascia, and shaking it out? The role of weightlifting and whether or not it can ACTUALLY screw up your movement? It's all in there. By the end of this episode, we hope that you're able to walk away with some practical gold nuggets of information that you can inject directly into YOUR training and movement practice.

Does intent implicate being? Does one's image and ego equate to one's character? And beyond that... what does all this have to do with movement? (Hint: everything and nothing) Other topics involve persuasion, coaching, metacognition, and how social structures impact our sense of self. Are you enjoying these types of conversation?

We explore materialism (the brain being a physical system in which consciousness arises) as well as more abstract ideas like the physicality of our system being more of a 'radio receiver' to a larger field of unified consciousness or source. This is far from a technical episode - more of a philosophical pontification - but we'd love to know your thoughts and where you think our ideas could be more refined by better information (hence why our ideas are 'In-Formation') Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did... www.instagram.com/anthony.manuele www.instagram.com/theartofmove --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-art-of-move/message

Ann uses breathing, strength training, movement coaching, and parkour to teach clients and students about their bodies and teach strategies to achieve freedom of movement. We talk with Ann about the different systems she's implemented into her own training, as well as the training she's done with her clients; systems like GOATA, One of a Kind Fitness, Postural Restoration Institute. We also dive into the different between strength training and skill work, and how athletes can feel safe progressing to new and challenging skills in a parkour setting.

After her first child was born, she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog. Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, and certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, and breathing coach, she still couldn't find the root of her issues. That's when she found quantum biology. Now, as an online educator, clinician, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective and Kalamazoo College, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment by applying quantum health strategies around light, water, electrons, and mitochondrial support. Given these tools, clients who have spent years trying to improve their health—just as Carrie did—finally experience powerful healing and lasting benefits.

For the sake of clarity, in this new series, we attempt to create cohesive, clear definitions of what WE mean by them, contrasted against how the fitness industry might use them, and how the public might perceive them without any prior education. What terms would you like to hear us cover next?
