But I would just do the warm-up. It's 13 steps. I have them memorized. You can do it in, I don't know, 10 minutes. And it's a little bouncy, and it's got a little bit of stuff that you don't normally have. And now I've noticed, actually, at different races or whatever, I'm like, oh, that person's doing the P3 warm-up. Like, there's a little cult that we're in now.
So there's a picture. Every single step is illustrated in there. But, you know, it's... Walking, you go back and forth at the gym a bunch of times. And first you're walking on your heels, then you're slapping your toes down, and then you're doing two different, no, three different kinds of lunges. There's, is that standing figure four thing?
There's, you've probably done the thing a bunch of times where you put your hand on the wall and swing your leg like a hamstring stretch. Then you're on the floor for a bit, rotating your spine various ways. There's a lot of rotation, tons of rotation in all of their recommendations. Why? Because that's another neurological training. Okay. You know, there's, this is a mind blowing thing.
There's nobody in major league baseball who didn't grow up playing baseball. Basketball is full of players who didn't know basketball, but because baseball is hitting and throwing, which are both rotating things. And if you didn't grow up practicing, like you're not as good as people who did like just, and so a lot of us, I didn't grow up with any, I didn't play any baseball.
But I, anyway, you want to rotate, you want, this is going to be a part of aging. Well, right. You want to do things that rotate.
Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it!
I mean, I'm not happy about it. I would be more fun to meet you feeling 100%.
All right, let's explore.
You are, this is, we're opening with a pop quiz, Jen.
I don't think I am. I can tell you this. So I spent three years marinating in this like movement data from this place called P3 in Santa Barbara, where they're 35 years into gathering it all. And almost everything that
goes through there these are thousands of athletes almost all the recommendations are to change something about how you move in the feet or the hips so like knee injuries mostly come from above and below and i really came to think of it did you i did not the answer doesn't have to be yes but did you take physics class where you do that egg drop experiment i did okay and you use like pipe cleaners and duct tape or whatever materials okay
This book has tons of physics in it. I had to learn and like nod along, but I hated physics class. I just, it was literally, I was a great student, but I had that one class. I was like, I don't even care what you're talking about. But okay, so you got the little egg. Now think of your upper body is that egg, right? This is 80% of your weight is in your torso.
And our like pipe cleaners and duct tape is our legs. These are the little devices we have to make it so our egg doesn't shatter when you land from running. When you jump off of whatever, one of their biggest assessments they do is you step off an 18 inch box and just land on these force plates on the floor.
so they're really well designed for it you know we have a good system for this if you land correctly right right they want to land with your toes up on the balls of your feet and do this stiff ankle and the force is going to go into your calves and then you're then it's going to go into your quads and it's going to go into your glutes and those muscles can handle a ton of force
safely in the old age but if you get a little weird right we all move a little weird we sit a lot we you know exercise strangely we have odd habits for instance if you land on your toes then you're the next thing that happens is your heel slams down which accounts for all of the biggest measurements they have all of the biggest landing forces come from that heel slapping down because now your egg right yeah
is pushing on down through your knee onto bone the lower leg bone the tibia and it's like like a pull cue like punching the ground right it's instead of passing the forces through soft tissue it's passing through that bone like that's a very common and popular way to hurt your knee is like the force of the ground is traveling up to your knee through this hard device, right?
Yeah. So there's a little, this is what they're doing there mostly, you know, and then the other big area focuses the hips.
So if you think about it, like the ankle and these lower leg muscles control how the lower leg bone expresses the force of the ground and the hip controls how the upper leg bone expresses the force of your torso coming down and they're going to meet at the knee and hopefully they meet well, right?
And they sound like they have been for most of your running life, but maybe there's a little something. If you went there right now and they assessed you, my guess is they would find, you'd be there for an hour. They'd be like, hey, Jen, there's a little something. We got to strengthen this thing in your hip or we got to do some of this thing in your lower leg.
Well, there's a whole bunch of, like you can go on YouTube and find, my daughter right now has a thing, she's doing toe yoga. I don't know if you've gotten into this. Have you seen this at all?
