Movement Will Outlive You, Figure It Out

You should move more, not less. This is true even for you, the unique, one-of-kind person that you are. I get it, no one has had the past that you’ve had and I probably “don’t get it.”

Basic functional movement doesn’t live on a pedestal. 

As long as you can get into a position, most all movement is okay for your body. Sure, some tiny percentage of people have shallow hip capsules and their squat looks much more like the hinge pattern and a larger percentage of people haven’t earned the mobility to put a straight bar overhead. But, other than that.. What are we talking about here, people? 

If movement gives you pain, consider that movement has been around much longer than you have and it will be here much long after you’re gone. So, maybe it’s not the movement’s fault. And, maybe it’s worth getting yourself in position to move. 

Keep going.
