How to Increase Your Speed, Mobility & Longevity with Plyometrics & Sprinting | Stuart McMillan

My guest is Stuart McMillan, a renowned track and field coach who
has trained dozens of Olympic medalists, professional athletes, and
team coaches across a diverse range of sports. We discuss how to
use plyometric work to improve mobility, strength, posture, and
overall health. We emphasize the enormous benefits of skipping—a
form of plyometrics—for joint health, aerobic conditioning, and
coordination, as well as its advantages for people of all ages and
fitness levels. We also explore the expressive nature of human
movement, highlighting how certain movements reveal and can evolve
one’s unique personality and abilities. Stu explains how resistance
training, skipping, and striding can improve movement efficiency in
all aspects of life. Anyone who exercises, as well as serious
athletes, will benefit immensely from Stu McMillan’s knowledge of
human mechanics and the practical tools he generously shares in
this discussion. Thank you to our sponsors AG1:
