In this episode, Joe Yoon shares his expertise on mobility and how it fits into your overall physical fitness. He talks about why stretches are crucial in workouts, as well as how to optimize your mobility exercises. Joe also contemplates on the online industry of fitness content as he shares his vision of a more supportive and generous community.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Discover how mobility exercises make you stronger both inside and outside the gym.

  2. You’ll learn a lot about improving your fitness from a massage therapist.

  3. You’ll realize that it’s hard to choose between making as much money as possible and genuinely helping clients in the fitness industry, but you don’t have to forego one for the other.

Episode Highlights

Joe's Beginnings

  • Joe started as a personal trainer who got to shadow a therapist.

  • He then went into the golf industry and saw how clients had struggled with their mobility.

  • He applied what he learned about the importance of mobility into other movement types beyond golf.

Immobility

  • Most people first encounter difficulties with mobility when they try to do something new and find that they can't do it without discomfort.

  • Exercises that require high mobility, such as overhead work, can make people aware if they lack flexibility.

The Benefits of Mobility 

  • Mobility exercises allow you to be better in your daily activities.

  • Focusing on developing flexibility can help you perform difficult lifts while reducing your chances of injury.

Balancing Mobility and Strength Exercises

  • If you have trouble with completing certain parts of your technique due to inflexibility, try to increase the time between mobility exercises and intense, strength-building exercises.

  • Your body needs time to adapt, so let your body rest between these workout sessions.

Stretching

  • Static stretching isn't necessarily inadequate, even if it leads to some temporary drop in maximum strength.

  • Proper timing, as well as warm-up exercises, is key to optimizing your routine.

  • Focus your stretches on tight and sore areas.

  • Never forget to do your dynamic stretches.

Everyday Mobility

  • Just nine minutes a day can make all the difference.

  • Flexibility exercises are like a gateway to greater fitness.

Mobility as Strength Training

  • The strength of each body part affects how other muscle groups will perform during exercise.

  • Hence, it would help if you build strength holistically by including compound workouts that target many muscle groups at the same time.

  • The best stretches are those that involve large portions of the human body.

  • A study found that even very sedentary people gained some muscle mass when they started with mobility exercises.

Strengthening Exercises as Mobility Workouts

  • At the same time, strength training can help people become more flexible with their bodies.

  • Eccentric and concentric contractions during resistance training help you increase your flexibility.

Joe's Holistic Perspective on the Human Body

  • Joe became a personal trainer first before becoming a massage therapist.

  • His general expertise allows him to pinpoint how his clients can keep on doing intense exercises without getting hurt.

  • He now works on publishing content so that he can help more people through his knowledge and expertise.

Thoughts on Online Fitness Gurus

  • While Joe appreciates how the Internet allows more people to learn about fitness, he thinks that there is much room for improvement.

  • Many fitness enthusiasts set up an online persona that emphasizes their physical fitness and nothing more.

  • People can act differently from how they project themselves online, and it can be a struggle to go past first impressions. 

Injuries

  • People struggle when they receive injuries since most of them want to become active again as fast as possible.

  • Many of them get injured again as they try to rush the healing process.

  • It's essential to seek professional help and abide with your therapy program.

The Business of Fitness

  • Many people enter the fitness industry with the intent of earning as much money as possible.

  • On the other hand, some people genuinely care about their clients. They even give free access to valuable learning resources.

  • Joe hopes that greedy and selfish entrepreneurs may learn from their more genuine competitors.

  • Joe gets evidence-based tips from his professional contacts and merges it with his firsthand experience in the fitness industry.

  • The result is that he gives viewers and clients useful fitness guidance. 

  • His expertise also means that Joe can come up with innovations, such as using a tennis ball as a cheap self-massage tool.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

  1. “I call it (stretch exercise) like a gateway drug, in a good way.”

  2. “There was a study where very sedentary people started stretching, and they gained a little bit of muscle.”

  3. “Some people just hurt bending over without any weight, so if we can get them moving and feeling better, it might empower them and also give them the confidence to move more and not be afraid to lift something up off the ground.”

  4. “I think people are just trying to get views, and they get pissing matches with everyone so it's like the verse, whatever. You're calling this person out, and it's good for the views, and I'm sure you're making great ad spend on and whatever ad money on it, but it's not really doing great things for fitness.”

  5. “Injuries are the worst, especially with people in fitness and athletics, because they want to be the best. They're trying to be the best version of whatever they're trying to do. So when they get hurt, it's tough for them to take a step back.”

Rewind 10 SecondsPlayFast Forward

For decades John Voris has studied and read ancient and modern philosophers as well as a wide range of psychology and metaphysical writings both eastern and western. He wanted to know why some people succeeded and others failed at certain career paths even though they had the same education and background and intelligence.

He put together a program based on his own observations and supported by his studies, his own wisdom and the intelligence of hundreds of philosophers and psychologists throughout the centuries. This approach has led to new insights by connecting old ideas together then giving them a personal application.

By tapping into all this esoteric knowledge John Voris is able to identify several hidden aspects to your being. When you understand and leverage your authentic nature you can express yourself freely and open yourself to your true motivations and desire creating more energy and well-being in your life.
