Ep 21 - Why I Place Performance Over Aesthetics - Alex Fit Podcast

In todays podcast, I speak about the journey and transition I have personally been on from focusing so much on aesthetics to where I am today with performance top of the goal list. 

Show Notes:

Todays topic - Look good perform well, why I preach it

Backstory - Speak about bodybuilding days, Cottons functional transition, crossfit diameters, the transition to where I am now
 
 Bi product - Looking good and having an aesthetic look comes with the performance. Being athletic you can have both. Just focusing on aesthetics you can’t

Moving well - Not just benefits everything in the gym but outside too. Your everyday movement. 3 planes of movement (sagittal, frontal, transverse)

Mobility - I never used to care, performance increase, avoid injury (isn’t that the goal in the first place?)

Movement screening - Joining the EMA, all members have to do it

Clients - Always assess how they move. Are they moving better? Have their hips become more mobile? Is there shoulder flexion improved and now can overhead press to a greater range of motion?
