 Richard Thurman III and Nat Viranond are Strength and Conditioning Coaches out of San Francisco, CA, and they join me today to dispel many misconceptions surrounding movement. We talk about:

• How to improve joint health and why it matters for athletes and non-athletes
• Does fitness make you healthy?
• Differences between flexibility and mobility, and why it matters for YOU?
• Should everyone squat to 90 degrees?

They even take a philosophical approach to movement which blew my mind.
They are well versed in Functional Range Conditioning, also offer virtual Kinstretch classes which may be the hardest bodyweight training that you'll ever do.
