#21 - Are You Training for Health — or for a Sport? | Jessie Salas

What are you actually training for?In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by Jessie Salas from Foundation Training to explore how easily people can start out wanting to get fitter, stronger and healthier — only to accidentally specialise in a particular style of training.We discuss bodybuilding, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit as sports in their own right, and why simply adopting one of those systems might not be the best approach if your real goal is to be a strong, healthy, capable human being.We also get into:Why your training should start with your actual goalBodybuilding vs powerlifting vs Olympic lifting vs CrossFitWhy chasing heavier numbers can eventually become counterproductiveKettlebells, maces, clubs and other tools — and why the tool shouldn’t become the training philosophyWhy general health may require being more of a physical generalistCorrective exercise vs training vs movement and playWhy adults need to move outside of structured workoutsHow Foundation Training can complement strength and sports trainingSitting, posture, movement patterns and chronic aches and painsThe importance of rest, recovery and knowing when to back offWhy fitness tribes and training dogma can hold us backMovement, nature and building a body that stays capable for lifeUltimately, Jessie’s message is simple: move your body, keep it simple, stay curious and find what makes you feel well.Join the Move Better Skool community & membership: https://bit.ly/45ww9qgFollow Jessie: @coachjsalasFind out more about Foundation Training#StrengthTraining #FunctionalFitness #FoundationTraining #Movement #Longevity
