The Forgotten PRIMAL MOVEMENT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2022
- Primal Movements... we think of squats, running, climbing, lifting something up from the ground. But one of the movements our ancestors did way more than us was interact with the ground. Ground interaction can help mobility, core strength, awareness and develop a more confident, pain-free body. Whatever gets you close to the ground whether it's animal movement, natural movements, primal movements...will benefit your body immensely.

In Eastern cultures the ground is an essential part of the day, but in our own western culture it almost seems try to avoid the ground as much as possible. Well here are four reasons that Josh and Trevor believe we need to rethink our relationship with the ground that may just surprise you. Do you touch the ground daily? Do you take your shoes off and feel the earth? Consider integrating the ground in your daily life and let us know how it goes for yo. These are functional movements that we should all be doing... the forgotten primal movement.

Love your shoes. Seems to be très confortable!
Great video with a lot of unconventional wisdom and valuable tips. My favourite is the Turkish get up - but I also do a lot of yoga which gets me spending more time on the ground than I would otherwise. Lots of ideas now on how to optimise my life and work space to make it more ground friendly!
Weeding the garden
Definitely the Turkish get up!
Dancing the Argentine Tango. The interaction is through the shoes and with our partner. Still, it's a great fun way to exercise our core strength to stay well-grounded while challenging our balance with interesting partner interactions. The primal movements that you promote help us to become highly functional dancers.
I have AIDS and no legs and have struggled for so long to be mobile. Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you 🙏
Could we have a short video on core strength please? I’m sick of the traditional way of abdominal training.
Just search strength side core exercises. They have plenty of videos up for beginner and beyond.
Stay strong in your body and your mind, brother!
Good aids or bad aids ?
@@sman53 where’s Chris Morris now that we need him most?
I’m 61 years old and your channel has just informed me about squatting and crawling. I really like the crawling and just moving around on the ground with my grandkids! It’s a blast! Thank you.
I'm also 61, but have lost that ability. I feel challenged to regain that 💞
@@TheTamrock2007 I'm 59 almost 60 and it hurts, but I try. We have had to overcome levels of discomfort in various ways all our lives. Not everyone can work past discomfort. But there are reasons that we hear things like "No pain, no gain" or "That which doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.". Failure makes us stronger. It hurts, but it works.
I'm 60 and I can get down, but getting up is difficult. I now have goals!
As a former Activity Director in a nursing home, exercise was my main activity. My program became so popular that I ended up visiting many homes in the county. Seeing first hand how much falls impact senior citizens is disturbing, it's also expensive, costing my state alone over 60 million dollars annually. ( hospital stay, family members taking time off work for care) so keeping the core strong and being acquainted with the ground is a must. Seeing seniors that were permanently disabled because they fell and couldn't move for hours is heartbreaking. Everyone should practice these moves in preparation for aging. Thanks for the awesome video!
So true! Good work!
@@mjrussell414 Aw, thank you! Loved my seniors!!
I work with the geriatric population doing home health physical therapy. Most of the people I see are stiff, in pain, and unsafe. Just getting them reacquainted with functional movements and increasing body awareness does wonders for them. Then they start getting stronger and moving better and feeling less pain on a daily basis. It is wonderful to help people feel more empowered and be more independent simply by teaching them to move more.
I used to love rolling as a kid! There's so much we stop doing as teens and adults, that we shouldn't, just because we worry about what people will say! Let's start playing again!🌻💚
I have Pars Defect and am only 21 years old. I’ve dealt with it for over two years and it leaves me hopeless for recovery most days. But things like this, tips and advice like this that is the most natural thing possible, gives me hope. Thank you for what you do
I am almost daily laying on the ground and roll around... this is so grounding and releases stress. I have never seen something on the internet about it before. :D
I'm starting to see SO MANY aspects of health reverting, essentially, to evolution. The best way to work out, add mobility, eat, sleep, travel (etc) are best if they're grounded in millennia of evolution rather than the last few decades of social changes, economics, consumerism, etc.
Thanks Guys! I sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. Learning how to do everything again. And don't forget the atrophy and rigidity. Keep the helpful a great videos coming. Brad
I have been practicing a crawl using just my hands and feet keeping knees off the floor. It took me almost a year of just holding that pose to be able to "crawl" without hurting myself. One day, I just did it. Now I can go for about 30 seconds crawling through the house. I think I saw it on one of your videos. Doing the floor work to learn this has made a huge difference in my strength and pain levels.
Hey guys, I just became 42 and I always loved moving my body - yoga, capoeira, skateboarding etc - last year I had the sense of really getting old physically. I didn't except and with the inspiration of you I feel stronger and more flexible than ever.
Thanks a lot
Interessanter Name. Ich werde kommenden Sommer 42 Jahre und Dein Beitrag hat mich besorgt und ermutigt zugleich. Danke! ;)
awesome man!
I feel you bro. Turning 42 soon, the first of january, and I had the same feeling feew months ago. What did I do? I turned to Capoeria and I'm pushing consistently on flexibility now. i'm feeling better and better every week. Here Josh and Trevor are dropping another pill of wisdom. This is my favourite channel as far as movement is concerned. I've been following since the very beginning.
Oh no, I'll be 42 in a few months...I know it's coming, but i hope not 😢
@@boliviandimplesdon't worry, surrender what ever arises and keep moving in joy
When my first kid was 18 months we moved to a fixer upper with hardly any furniture. We ate sitting on the floor and of course played on the floor.
When my oldest was 2 year old, I got pregnant.
I owe this lack of furniture to the recovery of my pelvic floor and diastasis rectus, which was a bigger problem for be with my first pregnancy and postpartum time.
More people should take your advice about working the floor for sure. I got very lucky with this lesson years ago. Everyone listen to this strength side fella. I been livin off my mats for years and its a HUGE blessing. Spend your time lying around on the floor and getting up off it many times a day. Good luck.
Continuously amazed at how well you guys deliver these beautiful nuggets of movement. I'll admit, I started spending more time on the ground after your squat video months ago. Now I'm hooked on stretching while touching the ground or floor. Whether it be my wrists, knees, calves, etc, the more time I spend on the floor, the better I feel when I do these stretches or exercises. In fact, I started goofing around more at the climbing gym by doing shoulder roils and back falls in a controlled manner out of the blue. Having learned much of this years ago when I was a kid in martial arts, it all came back to me once I developed a more intimate relationship with the ground, pad, or floor. Kudos guys!
So much love for this channel. Positive, fundamentals for daily movement habits from calm encouraging people
Man your movements and videos in general are soo inspirational!
beautiful stuff:)
Easily my favorite "fitness" enthusiasts on RUclips. S/o to you guys. Nothing but practicality and simplicity. Love it!
Thanks for this video. I also love when you talk about Journaling, intuition, and things of a spiritual matter like meditation. I love hearing about your life journey. My favorite ground work right now is sitting cross legged, squots, and a few yoga poses.
I love you guys so much 💗 you inspire me in so many ways. Having spent a whole life feeling unsafe in my body, I deeply appreciate how you're showing me a way through and out of it. Deep gratitude.
One of your best videos... A lot of other videos discuss these movements, but I love the way you guys frame it as getting "reacquainted with the ground." Also, you go beyond formal "exercise" and talk about incorporating these positions into everyday routine and non-exercise tasks. Inspiring!
All the basic move of capoeira Angola are about this kind of stuff :)
I practiced many years when I was a child and teenager. And this relationship with the ground help me a lot now that I'm practicing calisthenic.
I never fall, I always have a roll or a capoeira escaping move to save myself from injuries.
This is so real guys!!! I was watching a video recently about some very traumatized women and children in Mozambique, aside from the trauma of their insanely precarious life situation, I noticed how comfortably they rested just sitting on the ground with their legs together placed full length straight out from their core body. I was thinking “I so could not sit like that for more then a minute” God bless these poor folk for their resilience in the face of such horrors and their unconscious example of healthy living. Love you two, keep up the great info!
Love the real and doable flow that you present. As I age I am realizing how important these movements are to staying young and active. Your comments about falling are so true. Thank you for putting yourself out there. It blesses many.
There is so much truth and validity to this! I love your comment about something to the affect that the easier we can get up off the ground the longer we will live! It seem so logical! I spent 20 years thinking yoga was all I needed! But I was wrong! It’s these movements, being able to role, and squat, and stretch with out being so rigidly focussed on form has allowed me to reconnect to my body in ways yoga never facilitated to be honest! I love this
I just love watching/listening to your videos. So informative and soothing at the same time. Great job, fellas!
I exactly feel like I absolutely lack mobility and have pain due to this and this past year I made effort to better it that way. It helped, and I want 2023 to be even better!
all the best in your mobility journey!
Das macht schon Freude beim Zuschauen...ich bin begeistert !
So simpel den Körper beweglich zu halten , ohne Hilfsmittel...nur Körper + Boden ...Klasse ! 👍
Thank you so much for being you🫂 I appreciate you both and your content. It was great to see your feets🦶🏻on the ground☺️
This video is great. Simple stuff like this can be profound, and your method of communicating it is spot on.
Great stuff, have been spending alot more time on the ground having a 6 month old and I really enjoy it. Even just laying completely flat not on a soft surface but the hard ground is therapeutic!
kids really get you down there!
Lying completely flat.
Thank you so much. I loved to sit on the ground, but now with overweight and pains in my body I just stopped doing that. I miss my floor...you gave me a good puch and inspiration to start again. Very grateful. Wish you Love and light.
Amazing approach, I‘ve never seen it that way! You guys helped me tons leveling out the insane amount of running I‘m doing at the moment. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I agree you have to get up fluidity off the floor. I help seniors with exercise and do calisthenics too. Very beneficial. Thanks guys!
I love the seiza sit routine from a previous video, where you start standing, lowering yourself with only your legs into a seiza, holding for a bit, and then reversing. It's been great for ankle flexibility and knee strength.
I really love this channel, really inspiring to try new ways of moving, instead if sticking to the traditional routines.
Much love,
Ah I love that one too. One of the best
I love this. I'm 63 have done martial arts for a long time, even when I quit going to classes I have always kept doing stretches. I've been doing the get up but you take it to a new level. Kevin Secours does a lot of ground rolls and tactical get ups, so I've been working on it.
Thank you! Love your videos! I could do everytbing you do, but after sitting and stresses for long time now I bearly could walk it is so paiful. I can't feel my body, totally disconnected(..I loved to exercise on the floor, I was reading books on pancake position, great feeling after this! You motivate me start again, step by step..Not be ashamed of myself and not be affraid of pain. And be free again!❤️
You guys are my favorite…
Thanks for sharing this very imperative to our survival mindset and lifestyle
I cannot describe how much I appreciate your channel! So inspiring and backed yet up by bite size, easy to put into practice ideas! Thank you!
I love going on more traditional camp overnighters and sleeping under a tarp... so for me I think it's just the practical functions out there from starting a fire while on the ground, to cooking, processing wood, carving, etc.
yes camping is the best way to ensure that you utilize your body with nature and the ground :) Nice share
Those without grandkids just have t wait till then. No rush for them.
@@christrickett3291 that's just wilde.
Im so happy I stumbled across this. Thank you for sharing!
Just brilliant - makes my day watching you guys! x
❤floor myself, from Islands, WI, Jamaica and love ground or on veranda floor. Feet with on various textures especially in the sun. Presently my place no way on the floor, it’s not sanitary at this time. I look forward to enjoying that. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽📖😇
This is one of my fave videos of yours and I’ve watched hundreds of them. I love you guys!
Another great video. Your channel just might be my favorite in 2023, especially for this month.
Very inspiring! I immediately placed my laptop onto my chair and watched the video while moving on the ground. I also want to add the push-up to the list. It might be a common exercise but it is also a way to interact with and get up from the ground and I highly prefer it over benchpress.
Hey! I want to say thank you for incredible stuff what you are doing. I have been following your videos for a month and recently subscribed for Guided program. I had lower back pain for 3 years after my baby was born and this is the first week when I wake up and can get from bed with no pain or stiffness in the lower back😊
Bro I absolutely love how many people are happy and grateful and experiencing more fluidity in their lives
Great video, as always. Thank you, fellas. Please keep it up.
What I love about strength side videos the most is there duality. These guys know how to show viewers instructions from a nice cozy modern home (which says to the more civilized of society that they're not cave men) while going out side and getting down to the nitty gritty with very important primitive movements and exercises (which speaks correctly to us more rugged and primitive types) who prefer less modern living and like to do things more natural and manual which is more effective in our environments. Awesome video guys. There needs to be two Xtra like buttons on this one as far as I'm concerned.👍👍👍 Keep up the good work!!!
please more follow-alongs and instructive exercises related to primal movement!
Such a dense and fundamental message! Thank you so much for inspiration!
For the time being my favorite is 90/90 to half kneeling switching left to right and reverse. And hip internal rotation in squat position is a proper challenge for me at the moment - getting that knee to the floor while shifting weight to only one leg and then getting the knee back to the side again and opening the hips... great stuff.
5:47 @go2filip would like to see a demo of this. Do you have info where I can see this move? Thanks!
@@rOnda88 It looks like the very first one here:
ruclips.net/user/shortsn5QMLmmhgTU
but done in a deep squat with your upper body forward instead of leaning back and supported on hands
Appreciate the content brother, Love adding stuff to my routine. Keep it up!
Thanks for your channel Josh you inspire me every day 🙏💚
We must connect with our ancestors 🙏🏽 love this video! Much love ⚡️
yes!
and ancestors are the ground :)
A great life lesson and exercise! Thank you
I like this approach, very simple and yet highly efficient. Thank you !
Great information. I love how you don't just repeat the same stuff as everyone else. My lack of mobility is by far my biggest weakness. II learn a lot from your videos.
Just found your channel. Really appreciating your videos. Approximately two months ago I started going barefoot every day for a minimum of a mile but as much as 4 miles I’m really enjoying it. I’m not going to say that it’s revolutionized my life but I will say that I feel more connected to my health and the earth. Furthermore, it has put me on the path to realize that my traditional bodybuilding exercises that I’ve done for quite some time are not really doing me any favors. I’m incredibly strong, have very low body fat, and yet can barely walk down the stairs I cannot lift my arms above my head and overall I would say my body functions at 70% as a result of constantly being injured or having inflammation from improper workout techniques. I’m looking forward to this new type of exercise, losing some bulk and gaining function. Thank you
A million subscribers! Strewth!! Shows how good your content is.
Your movements are awesome!!! Great. Thank you for motivation 🙏
You are an incredible example of a human animal! Watching you move with ease and in balanced function is like watching a beautiful dance.
@My Telegraph Strengthside Kindly get off my jock.
1:03 is goals. I was able to do this a child and a teen. At some point I stopped and now it’s no longer easy to do. Now at 40 and want to do it again.
I love your body philosophy. I have taken note and started incorporating movement into my routines.
Love this! And I'll definitely try be more connected to the ground... Thank you!
Okay this is exactly what I need!! My back and hips and a mess since my job became more desk-bound. I’m going to try some of these tips!
Fantastic. Thank you very much!
Your stuff is just brilliant! Practical, very useful. This course would be fantastic for anybody in stunt school.
I teach yoga and have quite a few classes of seniors. We stress being able to get off the floor. They learn different ways to do so in case they find themselves in an unplanned situation on the floor. Nice video.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us
Great inspirational video, thank you for motivation.
Great content. I sit and work on the floor most days. Now I am encourage to roll around. 🙏🏾
Got really inspired with this. Thanks!
Great video, my favorite moves are the bear crawl and the ape walk, I've been realizing that keeping my mobility is very important, I see too many people my age who can barely move, and I refuse to let that happen to me, your videos have inspired me to work more towards keeping my flexibility and move more, thank you.
Your videos are so fun and informative and always leave me smiling from the floor this time 😃
Hey guys, what a great approach and fun videos! Noticing people loose connection with earth and raw nature traded against upper body tec stimuli. Wishing you the best only❤️❤️
This is the reason I subscribed to your channel. Thank you sir
I love this video! Thank you!
I think the Half Kneeling Switch is perfect for my flex routine... I've always found myself kneeling while typing or reading on the side of my bed. I love these tips... Thanks
My dad actually taught us how to fall when we were kids, and I’ve had to use that knowledge a few times to avoid injury. I’ve been working on including more natural movements into my routine for the last couple years, including using the primal squat often, which has helped my back and legs so much to avoid pain and muscle tightness.
You bring it all together, thx
Awesome video! I'm 65 and still sit cross leg on the ground, always have favored the squat style. I was that crazy student in college not sitting in a desk but shoes off, crossed leg on the floor..😊
love moving around on the floor, my friends and i call ourselves floor people for that reason, also a lot of these movements are so critical and integrated into bjj which has been a huge blessing to practice
I have no Table and no Chair - only for living more on the Ground - so I can stretch, move, build natural strength all the time and it is has an big impact on my live.
Heck yes! I’m going to give this to clients as an exercise 💪🏻
This makes a lot of sense. During the first two years of quarantine, I would go outside and sit on the ground all day and I felt better, I had no back issues. Since I've been sitting in a chair again I've been having hip pains. Thanks for the video.
you guys possess a wisdom on movement that I rarely encounter elsewhere.
This is something I'm definitely going to work on. Thank you for the inspiration 💫🙏😄
A very fresh perspective about very primal human instincts. Great vid.
Smiled through the vid all the time. Nature in me recognized itself. Bravo!
I am 66 YO. I learned a technique somewhat similar to this back in the 90’s. It is called Feldenkrais. However, your method really rocks! I will start practicing now. Thank you. Blessings for this 2023!!! 🎉
Love doing all sorts of movements with the steel mace while barefoot, that's my grounding movement! . Great video
Love your videos. All have a great combination of mobility, flexibility and strength. Best of all, they keep me grounded.
Grounding. Connect with the earth. Pure inspiration here! Usually sit in meditation pose but now I wanna roll on the ground as once did in childhood.
You guys are the best. Love your videos! At this point, I am working on crawling.
Interesting! I'm going to give sitting on the floor a shot until the end of the year and see how things go!
Brilliant. Inspiring. Thank you!
I am in looove with floor movements!! They have helped me become flexible, aware, stronger, and grounded. Crawling is my go to!!! But a nice 15-20 minutes flow is best!!!🧘🏽🙏
Fantastic stuff. Thank you.
Awesome reminder to do these flowing movement patterns!!
This is pretty interesting. Lately I’ve been looking for something to increase my flexibility/mobility/core strength. I’m gonna try this! Thx for your content, keep up the great work!
So good to see you again. Great video. Big fan. Wish I could find a practitioner/trainer I LA to help me develop.
Strenght Side! Gold Star! 10/10
Only been following for two weeks and wow! Everything is better.
