Becoming a Ninja: Welcome to Prehab Dojo with Skip Kelly

Skip Kelly is a corrective exercise specialist, trainer of Olympic athletes, and founder and CEO of the Prehab Dojo. Prehabing may help you with current injuries, get you ready for the day, or even improve cognition.

“When you're prehabing your spine to decompress it, you're realistically compressing it at a high intensity. That will allow it to decompress itself if it wants to.”

The sponsor for this episode is the ring on my finger. No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job.

The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer.

Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the Oura Ring, I would fast 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. When I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance the next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts.

So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. If you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to ouraring.com and plug in the code Boomer and you’ll get $50 off your order or 50 euros, depending on your jurisdiction. I really hope you enjoy the ring.
