Thermo Diet Roadmap
Full Transcript:
Jayton Miller:
Welcome back to the ThermoDiet Podcast. I'm your host Jayton Miller, and today I have on the podcast, Mr. Robert Walker. So Robert Walker is the VP of Growth here at UMZU and the health and fitness expert in his own rights, specializing in body weight training, mobility, flexibility, and all around athleticism. We talk about a whole range of topics in this podcast, from the fascial tissue, the fiber system, how to stretch, what is stretching, the importance of stretching and so much more.
Jayton Miller:
There's a phenomenal amount of value in this episode, and I can't wait for you to listen to it. Let's get into it. Welcome back to the ThermoDiet Podcast. I am here with Robert Walker. How are you doing today, Robert?
Robert Walker:
I'm good Jayton, how are you doing?
Jayton Miller:
I'm doing well. So Rob is kind of an expert in the field of mobility, flexibility and all around athleticism. So can you kind of tell us how you got started in to that realm?
Robert Walker:
Yeah, sure. So I grew up doing... I was a three sport athlete growing up. I played baseball and I ran track and field, and I played football. I played some basketball too, and some golf. Sports were always a big piece of my life, and especially with running. So I was forced to make the choice between all of those when I entered high school, because you got to stay focused. You get to college athletics, so I ended up choosing running over everything else, which definitely piqued my interest in flexibility training and mobility because the better range of motion you have, the longer your stride, a quicker turnover. So I was doing anything I could to get faster.
Robert Walker:
The mobility and flexibility training that I learned in high school definitely sped me up. It got to the point where I was nationally ranked in the two mile, as a sophomore in high school. So I ran a 9:36 as a sophomore, and that kind of brought me to little bit of pseudo fame amongst sophomores there. What really actually got me super into flexibility and mobility training was I tore my hamstring at nationals in cross country early my junior year, and it kind of ruined my career.
Robert Walker:
I was talking to a lot of colleges about going and then they all stopped talking to me after that. So I was like, "Damn, this is really, really important to take focus on" because, I could have been better about my mobility and flexibility training and I think that could have reduced my risk of injury
