Mobility & Longevity

By Omar AbdohUpdated

What this chapter covers

The ultimate goal of fitness is not to look good in your 20s and then spend your 40s nursing chronic back pain and torn rotator cuffs. The ultimate goal is to build a body that is highly capable, resilient, and pain-free for the rest of your life.

You cannot make progress if you are injured. In this final chapter, we will cover the protocols necessary to bulletproof your joints, improve your movement mechanics, and train for longevity.

  • Tendon and Joint Health
  • Conclusion

  • A Warm-Up That Earns Its Time
