#30 the movement class – lesson six

The squat. How often do you squat? every day? how often do you appreciate the function of the squat..? It is wrong to separate body parts so I will stop. The Squat uses the entire body to perform the specific function of lowering you cetreof gravity. There is absolutely no reason why you should face any effort at all when performing this movement. Can you imagine squatting each and every day for as long as you could walk each day, each step rather than a one in ten thousand is one squat in ten thousand. The squat is basic like that it does not care when the last time you used it was but it does care that when you are required to lift something from a low position, to a higher position you are able to, with some power. So brother, squat and then do more squats your effectiveness relies on it.

#18 the movement class lesson three

Core core core core. We’ve all established that foundation movements are important because they are the fundamentals to our movement, insomuch as they help you move in general, walk, run, jump, roll, these foundational movements ensure that you have enough skill in these areas to catch your prey, and present as the dominant human. However more compelling, is that in each of these activities we must engage our core, or we will hurt ourselves greatly. The core will even save your life when your body goes into shock, master your core and master yourself.

  1. Thought. Sitting there right now tense your core, how does that change the way you were sitting? If you feel no difference and sit with military posture day after day I applaud you. Much of our day spent sitting at a desk hunched over pixels has removed our innate ability to correct our posture before it goes awry.
  2. Ouch my back. So your back is stiff, tight or even hurts, our bodies are connected from head to toe in fascia and if you have a nagging calf injury or an injured shoulder, it will all appear in your core where the intersection of all your fascia happens.
  3. Roll. relating to my last movement lesson, being on the ground has innumerable (or three) benefits to humans, but pressure treatment such as rolling and stretching will benefit your body and tissue.
