During the Functional Training Summit in Munich, I had the opportunity to check in once again with the mobility coach and physical therapist Kelly Starrett. I first met Kelly at the Bulletproof Conference a couple of years ago and ever since, I've seen him at multiple occasions and also had the opportunity to work out in his crossfit box in San Francisco right underneath the Golden Gate bridge. Dr. Kelly Starrett is one of the most influential coaches in the areas of mobility and functional fitness working with olympians, world-class athletes, the military and high performers from various different fields. In this episode, Kelly and I discuss the status of the German fitness scene, which routines he has on a plane, how he hacks his sleep in hotel rooms and which valuable advice he received from professional surfer Laird Hamilton. Enjoy!

There is a generation of kids who've grown up power cleaning and swinging kettlebells. We are not designed to get on an airplane and fly somewhere. When I get off the plane, I don't to go to the gym, I walk. That beer is gonna mess up your sleep. Our recommendation for athletes is 9 to 10 hours of sleep. No phones in the bedroom.
