MovNat - Paleo Fitness

A very interesting concept in training for natural movement.

“The aim of MovNat is to rediscover, practice and master the movement skills that are our evolutionary birthright. All these activities relate to primal skills: quadrupedal movement and crawling on the ground could be evading techniques; running and rock climbing correlate to escape; deadlifting and carrying heavy objects might relate to rescue; swinging a heavy rock like a kettlebell is associated with throwing skills and thus attack. By developing these capabilities, one can develop greater strength and conditioning (a primary outcome), and thus look and feel better (a secondary outcome).” - from Athletics by Nature.





Now if only I lived somewhere like that .....  :)

I think I understand better what it would have been like to be a hunter back in the caveman days thanks to that vid. No room for obesity out there.

Good video's. I've had the opportunity to attend the MovNat fundamentals clinic in Toronto back in Sept. If you ever get a chance to do so I say go for it!

Hi Boris! I would love to attend this clinic, especially if I could attend it in a place like in the videos. :)
