Most fitness and rehab programs focus on short-term results. At Project M.O.V.E., we’re building a movement revolution.

In this foundational episode, Dr. Josh Wideman and Matt Trimarke introduce the M.O.V.E. Framework — four principles designed to improve performance, prevent injury, and keep you moving for life:

• Movement is non-negotiable.

• Optimization respects your tissues and tradeoffs.

• Variability builds resilience.

• Education empowers you to take charge of your health.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or simply want to move better in daily life, this episode lays the foundation for rethinking fitness and rehab from the ground up.

Competition isn’t training — it’s the ultimate test and pure external display of your sport. Training builds skill, strength, and internal capacity, but competition is about maximizing short-term performance, even if it means sacrificing tomorrow. In this Project M.O.V.E. Podcast episode, we share proven strategies for competition prep: how to adjust training 4–6 weeks out, taper in the final week, nail your warmup routine on game day, and use rapid recovery methods to perform across multi-day tournaments.

Your workout isn't the only frontier of performance. This episode of Project M.O.V.E. dives into Optimization: Precision Over Prescription, revealing why sleep is your #1 recovery tool and the non-negotiable foundation for human resilience. We'll dissect how sleep directly impacts strength, endurance, reaction time, and cognitive focus, and explore the hormonal alchemy happening in deep NREM (Stage N3), where HGH peaks and tissue growth and muscle repair accelerate. Discover how precise sleep strategies are vital for managing training load, recovery strategies, and overall performance, equipping you to perform smarter, not just harder.

What if the light you see matters as much as the food you eat? In this episode of the Project M.O.V.E. Podcast, we break down how blue light, UV, and red light set your circadian clock—and why artificial LEDs can throw it off. Learn how to use natural light as a daily reset for hormones, metabolism, and energy.

Your “golden years” won’t be golden if you let time win. The Centenarian Decathlon is your battle plan to outsmart the final decade of life—built on the four pillars of longevity: aerobic efficiency, VO₂ max, strength and resilience, mobility and stability. In this episode, we reveal the benchmarks that predict independence, the minimum weekly training that buys your freedom, and how to wage a strategic war on the physical decay that sidelines most people long before their last breath.

Just because it looks like your sport doesn’t mean it prepares you for it. In this episode, we unpack how choreographed, pattern-based training is sabotaging athlete durability — and why tissue-specific programming is the real unlock for performance that lasts. It’s time to stop rehearsing and start rebuilding.

Flexibility is passive. Mobility is power. Most people treat them the same — and stall out because of it. You’re stretching every day but still move like crap. Here’s why.

In this episode of Project MOVE, we tear apart the myth that more stretching = better mobility. We’ll break down the real difference between flexibility and mobility, the science behind restricted range of motion, and why end-range strength is the key to unlocking movement that actually performs.

If you want mobility that lasts — not just feels good for five minutes — this one’s for you.

Before you worry about your next PR, ask yourself: Is your body even built for the life you want? Most people skip the one step that could save them years of pain and wasted effort—a proper movement screen. Whether it’s FMS, FRA, or DNS, these assessments uncover red flags, compensation patterns, and mobility issues that could be limiting your performance or putting you on a crash course with injury. In this episode, we break down what these tools reveal, real gym examples we see every day, and why “train smarter” starts with knowing how you move.
