Pillar 2 and 3 - Speed / Power

In this episode, Ben Van Treese and Dr. Wetmore dive into the 2nd and 3rd Pillars of the Nine Pillars of Fitness: Speed and Power. They discuss the importance of these elements in maintaining overall fitness, particularly as we age. The conversation highlights why speed and power are critical for both athletic performance and longevity.

Key Points:

Importance of Speed and Power:

Comprehensive Fitness: [5:09}

Training Recommendations: [8:34]

  • Start with three to five fast or bouncy exercises.
  • Perform three to five reps and three to five sets without getting overly tired.
  • Combine speed and power exercises for simplicity and effectiveness.

Quotes:

  • "Speed and power are the basis of all athleticism. Anything you do that is athletic requires speed and power."
  • "If you're going to start training speed and you're an adult that hasn't sprinted for a while, don't let it open up for at least eight weeks, you'll pull a hamstring."

Conclusion: [11:01]
