Built to Move: Kelly Starrett on Mobility, Durability & Raising Functional Kids

from The Born Primitive Podcast · host Born Primitive

In this episode of The Born Primitive Podcast, Bear and Tony sit down with Dr. Kelly Starrett, co-author of Built to Move, sharing a no-nonsense blueprint for building a durable, pain-free body through mobility, proper movement patterns, and functional training—starting in childhood. He challenges conventional warm-up routines, explaining why most people have been doing them wrong, and makes the case for integrating mobility into daily life rather than treating it as an afterthought. Starrett emphasizes that physical aesthetics are irrelevant if your body doesn’t move well or breaks down under real-world demands. He dives deep into raising resilient, functional kids through play, movement quality, and habit-building at home, and lays out a science-based, practical approach for sprinting without injury. Whether you're an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or a parent, this conversation is packed with eye-opening insights that challenge mainstream fitness myths.Follow Dr. Kelly Starrett on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/thereadystate/?hl=enTo check out our brand visit: https://bornprimitive.com/And you can  learn more about Born Primitive Tactical by visiting: https://bornprimitivetactical.comFollow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bornprimitive/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruGgs2p3VVVy-v6YTiKuQwPRODUCED BY IRONCLAD
