-Playing With Movement

• Return to a natural movement that we can do at anytime anywhere
• The modern world has a lack of interest in movement or discourages movement
• We are part of a society where we sit too much based on the interest of our work and jobs
• Environment and community constraints make it challenging for people to move
• We are disembodied through our digital world
• We are feeling the lack of connection, people want to tune in
• We are trying to magnify and encourage movement
• What is movement mapping?
• As we move we have proprioception receptors throughout our body that gives us our body awareness (where we are in space)
• Chronic pain we see a decrease or lack in our movement mapping skills, we have a fuzzy image of how we move
• Ex. gymnast has really good mapping skills. They have really good proprioception awareness
• Improving mapping capabilities can help you get out of your negative feedback loop and reduce chronic pain
• Pain is very complex
• It is normal to have a little pain in joints and body parts
• Dissociation
• Curing for Sensory Motor Amnesia
• Using movement in one area while holding another area still to improve your mobility
• Chris Sommers Building The Gymnastic Bodies
• Find the best exercise for you
• Are we seeing more repetitive strain injuries due to a lack of variety?
• How do we add more variety?
• Maybe we need to ensure we are varying our intensity not just movements
• Get in and do the work, this is not a Gatorade commercial, you don’t need to be grunting
• Most of us are trying to get better for the long game
• There are benefits to short intense workouts, but most of us want to take that same mentality 5-6x a day
• Play with movement
• Find a tree and try and jump and touch it
• Weekly Challenges
• Find a tree and jump! Try and challenge yourself with something that might be out of reach to push yourself
• Set a distance in your neighborhood, time yourself and see if you can gain progress in the next few weeks!
