Can a simple broomstick and 10 minutes a day really transform your mobility? Join us on Brian's Run Pod as we chat with Jana Barrett, a body movement specialist from New Zealand, who reveals the secrets behind her innovative fitness techniques. Jana shares how everyday items can be powerful tools in enhancing mobility and fitness. She dives into the unique benefits of the steel mace, with its uneven weight distribution, and how it offers a challenge like no other traditional weightlifting equipment. Jana's passion for training women, especially those in their 40s, shines through as she explains the natural comfort level that can foster effective training relationships.

We explore the ins and outs of steel mace training, starting from beginner-friendly guidance to the importance of maintaining consistent dimensions while increasing weights. Jana unpacks the exceptional benefits that come with this unconventional training method, such as enhanced joint and ligament strength. Through her personal anecdotes and inspiring success stories, including an ultra-marathon runner who saw remarkable results, Jana underscores the value of the steel mace in achieving holistic fitness and functional strength, making it a must-try for athletes of all levels.

Mobility isn't just a buzzword—it's crucial for active aging and injury prevention. Jana offers valuable insights on integrating daily mobility exercises to maintain joint health and prevent common running injuries. For those over 40, even just 10 minutes of targeted mobility work can significantly improve basic movements and sustain an active lifestyle. We emphasize that consistent effort in keeping the body moving well allows individuals to enjoy activities like running well into their later years. Tune in to learn how investing in your mobility today can help you live life to the fullest, ensuring you stay active and healthy for years to come.
