Prime Your Fitness With Primitive Movements

Fitness is more than being a certain dress size, or lifting a certain amount of weight. Fitness is ability to perform movement throughout your life.

Fitness gives you the ability to get up and down off of the floor and play with your grandkids.

The ability to get up and down from the floor is highly correlated to health and physical fitness as your age. Once you lose the ability to get up and down from the floor your health and fitness begins to rapidly decline.

You have to be able to get up and down from the floor.

Movement patterns, such as bear crawls, inch worms, and other floor based primitive movements are the missing component t to many fitness programs and tis he future of fitness.

The following is a short circuit you can do any time, whether at home or in the gym to improve and maintain your most basic movement pattern: crawling.

– Bear Crawl – 10 yards forward, 10 yards backward, get on hands and knees, lift knees one inch from floor and crawl keeping back flat.

– Get Back Up – lay down on your back and then get back up five times.

– Inch Worm – touch your toes and walk hands out to a push up position, then keeping legs straight walk your feet back up to your hands, repeat 5 times.

If you use it, you will never lose it.
