Hanging Fixed What Years of Rehab Couldn’t
When was the last time you hung from something? For most people the honest answer is childhood. You stopped playing, you started sitting, and you let one of the most human positions there is die completely.In this episode Vanja breaks down the power of the dead hang: how it decompresses the spine, opens the shoulders into a range modern life never uses, and loads the grip, forearms and elbows in exactly the stretched position tissue needs to get healthy again. The same practice that fixed years of shoulder injuries, compressed spinal discs and elbow issues, after rehab exercises never touched the problem.Also covered: why grip strength keeps showing up in the research as one of the strongest predictors of longevity we have, why most people drop off the bar after 10 to 15 seconds, and what that number is really telling you about the state of your body.Then the practical part: a three-step build from assisted hanging, to a full passive dead hang, to a daily practice you barely notice doing. Plus the day Vanja hung on a bar for 23 minutes, and why that had nothing to do with adrenaline and everything to do with the unremarkable daily reps nobody sees.Test yourself today. Find a bar, hang, and note your number. That is your starting point.The Mobility Kit is linked below and in the pinned comment: https://movesmethod.com/yttkReady to be coached 1:1?

10 Years A Pro Athlete, I Couldn't Squat Like My Grandmother | How I Found Mobility
Vanja was a pro athlete for a decade, and still couldn't squat to the floor like her 80-year-old grandmother. This is her origin story: the frozen shoulder nobody could fix, the Bikram yoga that never delivered, the seminar with Ido Portal that humbled her, and the idea that runs through everything she teaches now, we are humans first and movers second.Get the Mobility Kit: https://movesmethod.com/yttkApply for 1:1 coaching: https://movesmethodprogram.com/applyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/

Deep Squat: The Resting Position You Lost (And How To Get It Back)
The deep squat is a resting human position most adults have lost. When did you last sit all the way down, heels flat, ass to grass, resting at the bottom like it's a chair? In this episode Vanja covers what a deep squat asks of your ankles, knees, hips and spine, why sitting all day is the opposite position, how floor access and the sit-and-rise test predict how you age, and the step-by-step to rebuild your deep squat from wherever you're starting.Follow for daily movement tips:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshfearfit/Making Moves Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/51jujEvcN9nE3lGq2IqRwUMobility Kit: https://movesmethod.com/yttk · 1:1 coaching: https://movesmethodprogram.com/applyKeywords: deep squat, resting squat, ass to grass, ankle mobility, hip mobility, sit and rise test, floor access, longevity, squat mobility, how to squat deep, heels flat squat, knee painEducational only, not medical advice.

You Don't Rise To The Occasion. You Fall To Your Environment.
The way you look and feel in your body today is no accident. Your environment built it, and you allowed it. Most people fight with willpower and mindset while the room they live in trains them the other way every single day. In this episode I break down the three environments running your body without your permission: physical (your street, your kitchen, your stairs), social (the people whose standard you inherit), and technology (the feed that decides what feels normal before you're even awake). You don't rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your environment. Build the room, and the body follows.Grab the Mobility Kit: https://movesmethod.com/yttkApply to work with us 1:1: https://movesmethodprogram.com/applyFollow Vanja: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Years of Injuries Taught Me This
The body teaching you to move has been broken in more places than I can count: chronic tendinitis, two frozen shoulders, disc issues, hip flexor strains, posture problems, ganglion cysts and nerve damage in my spine. Today it doesn't break. In this episode I go through every injury and the lesson it forced on me, and the pattern that runs through all of them: the conventional approach manages problems, movement done right removes them. Your body isn't fragile. It's waiting for you to learn its language.Grab the Mobility Kit: https://movesmethod.com/yttkApply to work with us 1:1: https://movesmethodprogram.com/applyFollow Vanja: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

I Retired at 38. Then I Realized I Was Destroying Myself.
Peter Corbett built a company from his apartment to tens of millions, sold it to a public company, and retired at 38. Then he spent nine months in hospice learning to soften the part of him that only knew how to push. In this conversation we get into the difference between working hard and suffering, why you were never built to regulate yourself alone, the heart as a muscle you can train, and the whiteboard moment where he wrote you are dying and a 300lb founder went on to lose 100 pounds. If you've been telling yourself you don't have time to fix your body or your mind, your room is on fire and you're refusing to put it out.Grab the Mobility Kit: https://movesmethodprogram.com/pod2627-kit-spApply to work with us 1:1: https://movesmethodprogram.com/pod2627-1on1-spFollow Vanja: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/Follow Peter: https://www.instagram.com/corbett3000/ This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

The One Rule That Changed My Life Forever
Most people build a life and then try to squeeze a body into the leftover cracks. The job picks the city, the city picks the commute, the commute picks the schedule, and the body gets whatever's left. I did it backwards. My body comes first, and every other decision is downstream of that one. In this episode I open the whole system: five layers, the standard mistake at each, and a four-week sequence you can run inside a normal 9-to-5 with kids and a mortgage. The thing nobody wants to hear: you can't out-train your life. Your body adapts to how you live the other 23 hours, not the hour you train.Grab the Mobility Kit: https://movesmethod.com/yttkApply to work with us 1:1: https://movesmethodprogram.com/applyFollow Vanja: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

I Stopped Sitting in Chairs for 30 Days
I stood up from my desk one day and felt my body adapting to the chair without asking my permission. So I did the obvious thing. I removed every chair from my life for thirty days.No couch, no office chair, no stool. If I wanted to sit, I went to the ground and stayed there. What happened over those thirty days didn't just change the way I move. It changed what I believe about how we live.In this episode we break down why the chair quietly takes your deep squat, your cross-legged sit and your ability to get off the floor, why discomfort on the ground is information not damage, what the East understands about the floor that the West walks past, and why the twenty-three hours outside the gym matter more than the one inside it.It was never gone. It was just waiting for you to sit back down.Follow for daily movement tips:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshfearfit/Ready to get your floor back? 👉 Grab the Mobility Kit: here
