Petra and I had such a fun conversation on how to move more and move better.
Enhancing our mobility is not always what we think, the exercises we often see are meant to maintain our mobility, a better mobility is more about your daily lifestyle, your daily movement, you workspace, your furniture, etc… Petra explains it perfectly in this video.
I’m sure you’ll get plenty of value from this conversation!

Louka is known to be the "Kettlebell Guy" He is not just about kettlebells but the universal PRINCIPLES that I apply to using this tool, which also apply to the Barbell, to Bodyweight and to Flexibility training: to MOVEMENT. Louka's story is beyond inspiring, after going to prison for 7 years in his early twenties, he used his time in jail to become the best version of himself and master his body and mind. Now he's teaching kettlebells all around the world, and he's working with his mentor Pavel Tsatouline. His philosphy goes beyond movement but also integrates the mind in the process, which made me impatient to have him on the show and share his story with you.
