    What a great study! My bodyworker would always say the same thing, when working on one side of the body, it would translate to the other. So by the time he got to the other side, it was already benifitting from what he did on the first side.

    I also really like what you said about similar movement patterns. I was just training w/ some other people. They were all great runners and when we sprinted, the housed me. One would naturally think that when we got to the burpees, pushups, mountain climbers and a bunch of other level changes, they would still house me. Nope, I housed them. Why? Because I train those movements more often than they do. I’ve developed that type of movement in my body while all they have developed is the sprint.

    Great article H!

    Holy moly I was at a conference yesterday that just went over all of this. And they also said if you fixed your weakest link, it made everything else better, too, even if you did not train it. LOVE that stuff. Right on, mama!!:o)

    Thanks, Guys! The human body is just one amazing machine, isn’t it? On the heels of writing this post early last week, I attended a license renewal workshop chock full of info related to the topic, specifically as it appears in injuries and healing. Too cool. Such an obvious analogy to training and per4mance. And maybe even more so to successful living and aging overall. If you want to go there, that is… ;)

    Hey Monica! Absolutely. Can’t you just hear your Central Governor (that makes sense if you saw the other CNS posts, LOL) saying “You’re the WEAKEST LINK!” to some joint in your body?
