Ep.1 You Don't Know What You Don't Know // You Can Fix You Podcast

[@bobbythomas7981]

Thank you for this podcast, Tom. I'm a 43 year old husband and father from Wisconsin, USA, who misses my mobility in flexibility. You're the first person to make me feel like gaining those things back may be possible. I can't wait for the podcasts yet to come.

[@TomMorrison]

Yas! That’s so awesome to hear!

[@soulance8342]

This is awesome! I love Tom, his personality, his teaching style, his crew around him, love a podcast to allow more of the thoughts to flow around flexibility.

[@TomMorrison]

Thanks so much!! We’ve been so excited to launch! Have been missing this long form chat element from our content for so long!

[@nidhijhawer756]

I just went through my first break up today. Instead to missing them , I'm listening to this podcast and improving myself. Thank you guys for being here 💛

Sorry to hear! But yes focusing on yourself and what you can control at this time is the best thing to do! You’ve got this! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Gentlemen, I know you are skeptical if you came across as "polished" enough for you first podcast. I learned more in this 20 minute conversation than I have in 20 years of trying to "fix" myself, and now I know why those attempts didn't work. After working with dozens of physiotherapists and personal trainers, I can say with certainty I've never heard anyone address joints or stabilty other than in relation to "your core". I've never had anyone talk about aging and fitness in such a positive light with reasonable expectations. This was incredibly eye-opening and has made me question my entire mindset regarding not only where I am, but where I can get to. So, yes, you will get more comfortable with the podcast format, but it won't shock me in the least if Episode 1 is the one that changes the most lives. TL;DR: Brilliant work and thank you.

[@TomMorrison]

Thank you so much!! Yeah it's a big worry but that's really made my day 😁💪

[@kimberleewilson5781]

I live in Alaska. Having been a former athlete, injuries (fall down a flight of cement stairs) and COVID have put my exercise to almost non existent. Don’t know how many surgeries later… I am starting over at 62! I started working out but backed off due to re-injuring the surgical joints. I did the 7 days of awesome and purchased the entire SMM series EVEN THOUGH I’m not to level 2 or 3 yet! But… I am confident I can get my strength back so I can fish!!! So, thank you for my daily dose of positivity to you, Jenny and your entire staff! 🤗 p.s. Yes! I’m still sore and am embracing “the suck”!!!

[@TomMorrison]

Amazing!!! I absolutely love shares like this! You’re smashing it just with your drive alone! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@onelmstreet8839]

Its cool Tom sits not like a pumped up fitness Coach.. He is relaxed shoulder slight forward.. no Posing. I did 3 exercises of Morris yesterday before bed, 15 min max. No sweat, no sting just all poped in the right way.. perfect The shoulders dumbell is GINIUS

[@Badgoodgirl]

Thank you for all your fitness information ! I recently got back into training / stretching/ working out after years of not working out! When I was in my 20s I was in great physical health! Now in my 50s I knew I had to change the bad habits that I fell into ! Wow it was a bit difficult at first but being consistent and reminding myself that it wasn’t a competition, and I could do this at my own pace and build up my strength gradually, helped me deal with the initial challenge! Thank you for your podcast, I thought it was great , you guys are awesome ❤keep up the good job!

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome to hear this!! Changing the norm of what 50’s should be like! 😎 thanks so much!

[@jasonnoble7302]

Thank you so much guys. I’ve learned a great deal from this channel. I’ve implemented many of the things you shared into my daily gym routine. I’m moving %500 better because of this channel of yours. I’ve lost 65lb, I’m running, I’m lifting weights and stretching using your techniques. Using the rings to get into the 90/90 position was a game changer for me. I’ve gone from falling over to being able to sit in the 90/90 position on both sides. I’m constantly improving thanks to everything you do for us. Cheers from Vancouver island Canada 🍻

[@TomMorrison]

So so awesome!! Love shares like this! And how movement has impacted so many things for you! Absolute legend! Well done ❤️

Love you guys!! Love the first episode....it's just good to see you guys as you sit and chat :-) Thank you Tom & JP (and Jenni...I know she's there somewhere!!) for creating such an accessible, adaptable & effective program for regaining/improving mobility - I am most definitely more flong and sexible than I was one year ago, and I'm going to keep going!! ❤❤❤❤

For visual people (like me), being able to see Tom & JP as they talk just adds so much!! How many SMM moves did you do whilst raking the leaves@@mariegoocher4338 ?! 😍

[@heidimorlock496]

"Am I moving my joints like joints?" is a great question to keep at top of mind. Thanks for that! I always find it very helpful to have a stock of concise phrases like that to keep me mindful of what I'm striving for. Bonus line: "If you're not expending energy trying to compensate, you have more energy to work with". Absolutely!

[@TomMorrison]

You are so welcome! Love that you had that takeaway!! ❤️

[@Dantos4]

This was really interesting to listen to. What I would be interested in going deeper into that theme: 1. How do I find out what's wrong? (So as you say, test joints) 2. How do I get the right exercise (you covered this 3. How do I put it into practice. (This is the hard part). Little by little obviously, I guess?

[@TomMorrison]

Noted!!!!

[@jacklauren9359]

Go see a physiotherapist and ask for whole body assessment. That way the physio can tell what you need working on. Then go from there. Go see exercise physiologist who can give you exercises base on your goal. The right exercise exist at that current time base on your capabilities. Manage your expectations as it will take a long time and most people can’t handle that. What i mean by that is their words is not aligned with their actions.

[@julierobbins823]

You are brilliant, creative, affable, humorous and so knowledable.. All the qualities to keep your exercise disciples engaged, out of pain, strong , flexible and resilient in mind and body.

[@AnnKankaanpaa]

You guys are so spot on! I always stand on one leg, rotate feet when in a line at a store, pumping gas, so get those small movements going to help with mobility. I'm still trying for when walking into my house to stop and do 10 push up.

[@kelly55423]

Nice info... Talking about not overdoing it: My coach in Olympic lifting is the one guy that barely has athletes go over 85% ...maybe 1x every 3-4 weeks, and other coaches think he sucks. Very few big blowout squat days. People's front squats are only a little better than they can clean since you don't need it much better. Don't overdo it and hurt your athletes/throw off technique due to an unnecessarily macho squat day. Guess which coach has all the state/regional champ athletes? The max out every week guys or my guy? 😁

[@TomMorrison]

Yeah! Consistently working at (and improving your) 70-85% is faaaaar more beneficial than consistently maxing out!! Sounds like you've got a great coach there 💪💪

[@patriciaquinn8113]

You talk about years of bad habits ... I'm 72. That's a lot of years! I struggle with SMM and consequently don't do it - at all. I like your comments about starting with just 5 minutes of moving my neck, shoulders etc when I first get up in the morning. I think I need to back up to that point and work towards a full program. The women in my family live well into their 90s. I'd like to have my next 20 years feel better than the past 30! Thanks for the encouragement. I'll be tuning in regularly.

Tom, do you recommend Yoga? I honest to god wish I could meet you, you seem like the kind of person that could look at mostly broken-arsed me and say "Huh, you're fixable". Unlike a lot of doctors and other 'specialists' that I've seen who basically tell me I'm a lost cause who will always be on pain killers. I'm 37, I don't want to be on pain killers for the rest of my life, I want to move and I definitely know I need to do mobility work.

[@TomMorrison]

Yeah yoga is good! Just don't forget to add in some strength work too, not just stretching 😁 We do have a mobility program called the Simplistic Mobility Method on our website if you're interested 😁
