Stu McMillan is one of the world's most sought after coaches for teaching people how to get stronger. run faster, be more powerful, and healthier.
Today we talk about how to do that using what for most people might seem like a rather unconventional set of methods, but for any serious track athlete will be very familiar. Because they do it almost every day. And that's skipping and striding. You heard right, as you'll soon learn, skipping, what most of us think of as a kids' activity, is actually one of the best plometric activities that we can all do at any age to build more power, speed, coordination and to improve our muscle Facial and nervous system function.
Stu McMillan has coached over 70 Olympians across nine Olympic Games. And he has coached the players and coach of every major professional sport. He explains how skipping and something called striding are zero cost activities that we all can and should include in our weekly fitness routine. They not only will have you moving better and having better posture in all your activities, but they also take minimal time and they can help protect you against injuries and improve your longevity. We also talk about the best strides for running at any speed. So if you're into jogging or sprinting, we talk about all the best ways to do that. We talk about the sport of track.
