Mobility is FUN | New 30 Min Follow Along
|
Here's a secret the big fitness doesn't want you to know....Mobility can be FUN! There's tons of mobility work that brings a scrunchy grimace to your face, like you're trying to open the tightest jar of all time. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it does instill a belief that improving your movement has to be a grind. That you have to work super hard...and that its not very fun. This is why I love primal movement. It's, in my humble (and experienced) opinion, the most accessible and fun way to build full body mobility. It actually rebuilds connection in the body, improving stability, mobility AND coordination. When you do this stuff regularly, you notice that you move around better than you did before. Its the little stuff, like picking up your kid. Getting on the ground to play with your dog. Crouching down to fix a leak under the sink. - without thinking about it at all! And yeah, also progressing and doing cooler and cooler stuff in your movement practice. If you're subscribed here, maybe you don't need convincing, you just need a nudge to move. So here it is, I just dropped a Full Body Mobility follow along on my new channel. It's 30 minutes, I guide you through some sweet primal moves and I know you'll feel amazing afterwards! Click this goofy photo below to move with me now! And if you haven't already, subscribe to smoov follow alongs! I'm posting a new follow along session every week so if you want more smoov...here you go! Thanks for reading (and watching). Have a great day! Stay smoov, Grant |

Yo Reader! It has been quite the week...I know that I'm only supposed to hit you with one link per email but there's just too much to update you on. So here we go! smoov X Strength Side Back in 2018, I met Josh from Strength Side in a coffee shop. We connected immediately over HUMAN movement. More recently, we connected over the natural process of aging and how fitness culture frames it as a bad thing...like its something you need to prevent or reverse. And we came up with a list of moves...
Push-ups used to give me a tight neck, painful shoulders and cranky elbows. I could do em, but they broke me down. I remember when I was working a marketing job in tech. Our startup was growing, and so was my waistline. It was't a ton of weight but I noticed it early and wanted to do something about it. I decided that I'd do 5 pushups for every sale that came in. At first, this was 30-50 pushups a day. But that quickly turned into 100-200 a day. I started sweating through my dress shirt but...
Last weekend, I guided a group of men through movement at a retreat. This wasn't a movement retreat, so I was brought in to facilitate a daily 1 hour practice that met the needs of the attendees. Now, the younger me would've tried to prove myself and my approach by putting together hard workouts with challenging and complex movements. But I've been doing this stuff long enough that I know its more about providing practices that are applicable to whoever I'm guiding. These guys were in their...
