JUST GET MOVING!

Many people get stuck, never starting or follow through on an exercise program. They get bogged down on formal conditioning programs which are very structured and aim at achieving a particular goal. More people would have success just by making MOVING as a part of their conditioning program. Moving can be accidental, social and fun. There is definitely a place for structured conditioning, but adherence may be improved if moving for simply enjoyment was just as important.

1) Movements are 3-Dimensional and Dynamic.

2) Movements take into account the effects of gravity.

3) Movements teach your body how to stop, decelerate and control motion.

4) Movements are subconsciously driven...not having to THINK about everything we do.

5) Movements are variable in terms of positions, loads, vertical distance, horizontal distance, and angulations in all three planes of motion and in every possible movement.

6) Movement programs are individualized.

7) Movements are fun and creative and can be applied consistently over time.

8) Movements are done mostly from your feet to take advantage of gravity and ground forces.

9) Movements are specific to your functional needs: Walking, playing with kids, sports, yard work…

10) HAVE FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
