Episode 377 - Mobility and Recovery with Alex Manor

Author: Austin Diehl June 17, 2026 Duration: 1:30:36

As we get older, as we all work harder on improving our health, our strength, our fitness, it seems like we get injured more and more. How to truly meet our fitness goals, and how we recover from those injuries, are where we see actual success and failure. After a couple years now, I finally catch up with Alex, and sit down to talk about his work with coach within the tactical space, recovering and coping with serious injuries, and get a healthy dose of perspective on personal fitness. As a former serviceman for over a decade, and now an instructor with Maneuver Training Solutions and Orion Training Group, Alex understands the demands on the body, under stress in combat, and how to build to be capable on the range. This was a great conversation for me, as I continue on my own fitness journey, and I have no doubt will be valuable for the many of you out there who are doing the same.

Hosted by Austin Diehl, The Prepared Mindset Podcast moves beyond gear lists and hypotheticals to explore the practical philosophy of readiness for everyday life. This isn't about fear; it's about developing a grounded sense of capability and clarity. Conversations here delve into the tangible aspects of preparation-from practical planning and responsible training to personal accountability-framed within the broader context of our current society and culture. Austin brings on a diverse array of guests, many with backgrounds in military or law enforcement, not to glorify conflict but to extract valuable lessons on tactics, performance under pressure, and training mindset that apply to civilian life. Each episode thoughtfully addresses how world events and local realities intersect with the goal of creating safer, more resilient homes and communities.
