Sir John Hargrave is a funny guy and this book is awesome.

Eric Goodman is the creator of Foundation Training. If you've ever had back or neck or other physical pain, this book might be just what your doctor forgot to order. And, of course, if you're just looking to take your energy to the next level, this is a gem. In the Note, we take a quick look at why gravity + sitting/bad posture = compression and why that's so bad plus how to deal with it as we become fluent in a new movement language and have fun becoming perpetual motion machines.

Interview: Be Unstoppable with Alden Mills Jul 16, 2016

Show notes

This is a surprisingly awesome book—a fable about a young captain who spends time with a master and commander who reveals the secret code of rockin' it.
