In this episode, Vanessa Leone and Ian O’Dwyer discuss fitness metrics, movement assessment, and self-awareness in training. O’Dwyer emphasizes the importance of listening to the body over relying solely on biofeedback tools. He advocates for “appraisals” instead of “assessments” to reduce fear and improve self-awareness. They explore how movement, hydration, nutrition, sleep, and mood impact performance. O’Dwyer highlights fascia’s role in movement and explains mobilizers as low-force, functional movements tailored to individual needs. The conversation underscores the value of intuitive training, proper recovery, and questioning conventional fitness testing for a more holistic approach to health and movement.
