3 Tiers of Movement, Part 1

In this mini-series, I’m going to talk about fitness, health, and longevity. We’ll also look at why the conventional approach is pretty far off base.

Welcome to Scott Hagnas Training! Over the next few months, I’ll be adding new content regularly. However, I have written many articles over the last few years, some of which you’ll find re-posted below. Some have been updated from the originals.

In the future, I’ll be building more content specific to a couple of different populations:

I’ll be writing on how to train to have great health & physical function as you age, and why the way most approach this is wrong and may actually detract from your overall well-being. There will be articles specifically for coaches. And, I’ll also write on training for individual “flow” sports, particularly my lifelong love of BMX.

For now, enjoy the re-posts and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
