Foundation II


Feet Planted Firmly on the Ground

Where do most of your most physically challenging moments occur? Where do we spend most of our lives? Standing on your own two feet. Hence, this is where the majority of your training should occur.

When you sit down, especially in a position that's supported with a back pad, you've already shut down most of the muscles needed to perform the simplest tasks at work or around the house, your stabilizers. You've moved into more non functional, body building based reductionist training. By standing up and keeping the muscles around our spine firing full tilt, we’re efficiently using our body as the machine, the complete system it is meant to be. Remember, the body is and functions as one piece. Stand up and train it that way.
