A Guide to Building Your Natural Movement Workouts

Updated: Aug 11, 2019

BUILDING YOUR WORKOUT

Technique Focus:

Practice slowly, with an emphasis on control and stability. Use this time to self-analyze and refine the efficiency of your techniques. Pick an exercise from different sections and either do 2 or 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions, or 3-5 sets of a certain distance to travel (like in the balancing walk, or foot-hand crawl) and use weights that are heavy enough to be difficult to manage after your last rep.


Exercise 1) one or 2 techniques from section (1)

Exercise 2) one technique from section (2)

Exercise 3) one or 2 techniques from section (3)

Exercise 4) one or 2 techniques from section (4)

Exercise 5) one or 2 techniques from section (5)


Combo:

Kind of like a mini-obstacle course without the focus on a time limit. This part should be focused on quality of technique, and maintaining a rhythm without stopping for breaks. Complete the circuit 3-5 times and stop when you feel too exhausted to complete another circuit:

Station 1) one technique from section 1 or 2

Station 2) one technique from section 3,4, or 5

Station 3) one technique that combines two techniques from any section (like a Balancing Hand Carry)
