Movement Health
Strength is a skill.
Use grease the groove to optimise longevity and agility of body and mind.
Desired Attributes
- Agility
- Working joints
- Strong Posterior chain
Capabilities
- Jump
- Throw
Practice
Better to focus on functional movement.
Strength is a skill focus on practice not punishment
📄️ Gymnastics
Gymnastic Bodies
📄️ Mobility
General principles for mobility exercises:
📄️ Kettlebells
Kettlebell exercises
📄️ Surf Fitness
Surfing is one of the most rewarding activities you can experience.
📄️ Swimming
Beginner.
📄️ Speed
Speed is first to disappear with age, therefore need to train mitochondria to focus on power to weight ratio.
📄️ Running
We take swimming lessons but we don't take lessons on how to run properly?
Exercise with aim to improve the practice of connecting with your central nervous system through intention and attention of movement.

Questions
If strength is a skill developed through grease-the-groove practice rather than punishment, what separates the practitioners who sustain the habit for decades from those who quit after weeks?
- Agility, working joints, and a strong posterior chain are listed as desired attributes — how does Pavel Tsatsouline's central nervous system approach address all three simultaneously rather than in isolation?
- The page prioritizes functional movement over performance metrics — at what point does training for agility and joint health diverge from training for the jumping and throwing capabilities listed?
- Peter Attia MD and Huberman Lab are both referenced — where does the exercise protocol for longevity overlap with the protocol for peak physical performance, and where do they conflict?
