Why choose between being mobile and being strong? 🏋️♂️🏂
Today I’m combining Mobility Monday and Strength Wednesday into one specific drill: the Weighted Lateral Lunge Hold. In my Longevity Lab, we call this 'Weighted Stretching.' Most people stretch just to feel flexible, but as an athlete, I need to be powerful in my deepest positions.
The Mobility: The kettlebell helps me sink into that trailing hip, opening up the range I need for my 9-second Euro carve goal.
The Strength: The 'Hold' builds isometric power. It’s about owning the position so my joints—and my new knees—stay protected under G-force on the mountain.
The Longevity Benefit: Lateral strength is often the first thing we lose as we age. Training this plane prevents falls, decompresses the hips, and keeps you on the water and the snow for life.
