The Core Standard

In this episode, Jamie breaks down what true core strength actually is and why it has nothing to do with six‑pack abs or endless sit‑ups. Instead, he explains the core standard: a simple 30‑second side plank on each side that represents enough stability, coordination, and lateral strength for everyday life. You’ll learn why these muscles matter, how they protect your spine, and how this single standard fits into the broader philosophy of the 18 physical standards. What You’ll Learn • Why sit‑ups don’t build the kind of core strength you actually need • The role of your lats, obliques, QLs, glutes, and outer thigh in stabilising your spine • How lateral strength supports everyday tasks like carrying kids, walking the dog, and staying upright all day • Why general life is a physical event and how the 18 standards prepare you for it • What to expect if you’re deconditioned and trying the side plank for the first time • Why 30 seconds per side is “enough” for general life strength Key Quote “You do not have to do 1,000 sit-ups a day to actually have a strong core.” Links & Resources • Core Standard: enough.health/core • Weekly Live Webinars (Tuesdays & Fridays): enough.health/webinar • Movement Quiz (90‑second personalised result): enough.health/quiz Connect & Continue Try the side plank, see where you’re at, and start building the lateral stability that keeps you comfortable, coordinated, and capable throughout your day. Once you’ve pushed through the early effort, maintaining it is simple and it’s enough.

The Landing Standard

In this episode, Jamie breaks down the Landing Standard. A 30 cm forward jump that trains coordination, reaction time, bone density, and lifelong physical capability. You’ll learn why landing matters more than jumping, how the brain processes movement, and why adults lose (and can rebuild) this essential skill. In This Episode • What the Landing Standard is and why it exists • How a simple jump trains your hips, knees, ankles, and nervous system • The brain’s role in force production, timing, and landing strategy • Why landing ability protects you from slips, trips, and falls • How jumping supports bone density at every age • Why adults stop jumping and how to safely rebuild the pattern • How the Enough course retrains coordination step by step Key Takeaways • Landing is a lifelong safety skill as it sharpens reaction time and reduces fall risk. • Jumping trains power, but landing trains deceleration and stability. • Bone density improves when you expose your body to controlled impact. • The body isn’t fragile! It’s capable, adaptable, and wants input. • You can always retrain jumping and landing with the right steps.

When "Better" Becomes The Problem

Overview Episode 10 marks a milestone- double digits- and a shift in the conversation. This episode explores a cultural trap many people fall into: the constant pursuit of “better”, even when it’s unnecessary for living well. Jamie breaks down why chasing physical excellence isn’t required for most people, and how understanding what your body actually needs can create calm, confidence, and long term independence. “My mission is to help as many people as possible understand their bodies and become physically enough.” Key Themes 1. The Obsession With ‘Better’ • The fitness industry often pushes people toward endless improvement- faster, stronger, fitter. • For many, this pressure becomes intimidating and stops them from using their bodies at all. • Excellence is great when it’s measurable and meaningful, but unnecessary for everyday life. 2. Life Happens- Even When You Do Everything ‘Right’ • Jamie shares his own near death experience at a fitness event despite being fully prepared. • A story about Tucker the golden retriever highlights that even perfect routines can’t control everything. • The takeaway: chasing perfection doesn’t guarantee protection. 3. What Most People Actually Need • Not elite fitness- just capability. • The general population needs simple, repeatable physical inputs to stay confident, safe, and independent. • Jamie’s 18 Standards define the minimum physical requirements for living well. “My mission is to get those people who have no idea what their body’s about… just to rise up to be enough to live physically well.” 4. Examples of Goals That Don’t Require Endless Improvement Jamie uses everyday parallels to show that people already understand “enough” in other areas of life: • Retirement: You plan, reach the target, then maintain. • Learning to drive: You meet the standard, then keep it. • Travel planning: You follow the steps, enjoy the holiday- you don’t keep improving the plan forever. These examples mirror how physical capability should work: reach the standard, then maintain it. 5. Future Self Goals Jamie outlines the universal goals people have as they age: • Stay independent • Stay involved in community and family life • Feel confident at home • Maintain dignity and autonomy • Reduce risk of falls and injuries “We just want to stay independent… stay involved with our families… maintain that dignity.” These goals form the backbone of the Enough Standards. 6. Why ‘Enough’ Works • The musculoskeletal system only requires consistent, simple inputs. • The 18 Standards provide those inputs without extremes. • Once you reach the standards, you maintain them- just like maintaining income, driving skills, or home routines. Announcements Live Webinars Launching Jamie introduces weekly live webinars starting September 8, running Tuesdays and Fridays for 60 minutes. Register at: enough.health/webinar “We can dive in for 60 minutes… explaining everything in depth.” Closing Message You don’t need to chase “better” forever. You need to know what’s enough for your body, reach it, and maintain it. Calm, confidence, and independence come from capability- not perfection. “You are enough. You can be physically enough. You don’t have to always pursue better.”

The Carry Standard

This episode of Enough Said takes a deep dive into the Carry Standard. Carrying 25% of your body weight in one hand while walking 5m forwards and 5m backwards continuously for 60 seconds. Then changing hand and repeating on the opposite hand. Rest 60 seconds and repeat for 2 more rounds. It’s one of the most practical, meaningful measures of real‑world capability. Carrying is a whole‑body movement. It improves grip strength, shoulder stability, core control, hip alignment, foot responsiveness, posture, balance, coordination, and confidence. It’s also a direct marker of independence: the ability to carry groceries, move bins, lift boxes, travel with luggage, and manage the physical responsibilities of daily life. What We Cover: • Why carrying is a full‑body movement, not an arm exercise • How carrying reflects long‑term independence and capability • The role of grip strength in everyday life • How carrying naturally trains adaptive posture • Why carrying is a balance exercise in disguise • The historical roots of carrying and why modern life removed it • How carrying builds confidence in your body • Why the Carry Standard isn’t elite, it’s simply human • How the body adapts no matter where you start Key Message: Carrying isn’t just moving a weight. It’s a life skill. A skill that supports independence, confidence, and the ability to participate fully in everyday life. The Carry Standard sits at the beginning of the physical standards because it represents something fundamental: the ability to carry the demands of life with strength, stability, and control.

The 18 Physical Standards That Define a Capable Body

This episode explores the full set of the 18 Physical Standards. The everyday movement abilities that keep a human body capable, confident, and independent throughout life. These standards aren’t tests or judgments. They’re a roadmap for maintaining the strength, mobility, balance, and resilience needed to participate fully in your life. What We Cover: • Carrying strength for groceries, suitcases, tools, and daily load handling • Balance for stepping, dressing, uneven ground, and recovering from stumbles • Jumping and landing for power, reaction time, and force absorption • Floor access through the Turkish get‑up • Core stability for real‑world side‑to‑side control • Hip hinging for safe bending and lifting • Forward bending for socks, shoes, and reaching the floor • Single‑leg strength for walking, stairs, and standing up • Lateral mobility for cars, gardening, sport, and direction changes • Hamstring and adductor strength for efficient movement • Lower‑leg strength for balance and long‑term lower‑body health • Full‑range overhead strength for shelves, luggage, and daily reaching • Shoulder stability for comfortable everyday movement • Pushing strength through full‑range push-ups • Pulling strength through a single pull-up • Overhead mobility through pullovers • Neck strength for driving, reading, desk work, and posture Key Message: Individually, these standards are simple. Together, they create capability. The freedom to say yes to the things you want to do. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is to be enough.

The Missing Test That Changes Everything

In Episode 3, Jamie explains why the absence of a musculoskeletal capability test isn’t a small oversight. It’s a fundamental gap in how we understand human health. The 18 Standards of Musculoskeletal Health complete the medical tests picture by measuring the part of health medicine has never standardised, your physical capability. When we can measure capability, we can improve it. And when we improve it, we can change someone’s trajectory. Visit enough.health to explore the 18 Standards and see how each one protects your physical independence. If someone you know is struggling with their physical capacity, share this episode with them. It might help them enough.

Nobody Told You

Most people think their body is failing. It isn’t- the system is. In this episode, Jamie breaks down the sentence at the emotional centre of the Enough movement: Nobody told you. It’s a clear, grounded look at why decline feels personal, why capability disappears silently, and why physical literacy is the missing curriculum. You’ll learn about the standards that protect independence, the early whispers of decline, and the identity shift that happens when you finally understand what your body needs. This is not fitness. This is capability education, the education you should have had.

The Manifesto of Human Capability

In this opening episode of Enough Said, we explore the quiet, preventable decline happening in millions of bodies around the world. Not because of illness or fate, but because no one ever showed people what their body needs to stay capable. This manifesto is a clear declaration of what human capability really is, why it matters, and why the absence of a physical baseline has left so many people drifting into decline without realising it. For over 20 years, Jamie has watched people lose confidence in their own body: slowly, quietly, unnecessarily. This episode explains how capability slips into avoidance, how avoidance becomes decline, and why this pattern is not a personal failure but a systemic gap in human education. You’ll learn why capability is measurable, trainable, maintainable, and universal, and how the 18 Standards provide the minimum physical abilities every human body deserves to protect independence, dignity, and confidence. If you want to understand your own capability, start with the Enough Quiz. It takes less than two minutes and shows you exactly where your strengths are and where decline may already be starting. 👉 Take the quiz: https://enough.health/quiz 👉 Learn more about the 18 Standards: https://enough.health
