Seven functional movements to rebuild mobility, power, and aerobic capacity — and keep them for the long run.
Spinal decompression, shoulder health, grip endurance — a top biomarker for longevity.
Dose: Dead hangs 20–60s, build to 2 min daily. Ribs tucked, look forward.
One pattern for hips, thoracic spine, ankles, and shoulders.
Dose: 3 reps/side. Deep lunge, plant opposite hand, rotate up to the ceiling.
Ankle dorsiflexion and full lower-limb mobility; staying at home on the floor.
Dose: 2–5 min daily. Heels flat, chest proud. Hold a doorframe if tight.
Trunk stability, grip, and whole-body integrity under load.
Dose: 3 × 60s. Suitcase → Farmer's carry. Stay tall, no tilt or collapse.
Raises VO₂ max with low-impact intervals.
Dose: 30 min — alternate 3 min fast (~70%) / 3 min easy.
Mitochondrial density and aerobic base.
Dose: 45–60 min steady (~60–70% max HR). Bike, row, or treadmill.
Fast-twitch fibers and reactive power — the reflex that catches a stumble.
Dose: 3 sets. Pogos / skater bounds. Crisp, silent landings.
Start at the beginner progression for anything new. Silent landings and flat heels are the safety checkpoints. Clear it with a doctor if you have joint, back, or heart history.
