The latest installment is up on the MovNat site. Now we are getting into some important components of movement. The hip-hinge is a fundamental pattern that is leveraged in other more complex movements, particularly those in the lifting aptitude. Get out there and start moving!
MovNat From the Ground Up Series: Balancing and #bustabalance challenge
The new installment is up on the MovNat site. It covers balancing, which is a skill that is vital, yet is often neglected by many. Even a simple walk across a 2x4 on level ground might prove to be very challenging to some.
And speaking of balancing - MovNat Certified Trainers Abby Clark @feminine_badass and Stefano Tripney @captianstefano just finished hosting an Instagram challenge called #bustabalance. For the last 7 days they have been challenging us with a daily balance skill. These skills includedwalking forwards and backwards, changing direction, squatting and lunging, carrying a load and precision landings. I enjoyed adding these small tests to my daily movement practice.
MovNat From the Ground Up Series:Crawling
The second installment of the From the Ground Up Series from MovNat has been posted. This video introduces the crawling aptitude. I have found that crawling or quadrupedal movement (QM) has improved my mobility, stability and conditionng. We are so used to jumping or climbing over obstacles when going under them might be a safer and more efficient way of navigating. This is one of the forgotten movement patterns, give it a try!
