If all you can do outside is run, while under lock

While you surely compare your life now to the one
While you surely compare your life now to the one you had only a couple of weeks ago, you can also actively choose to compare it to the life our past generations had not that long ago. Our brains work by contrast more than anything else but we can choose which contrasts we focus on.⁠ .⁠ Yes, we all have bigger challenges (health, economically, financially for a start) than just living in confinement. But so did our predecessors.⁠ .⁠ If you’re in confinement and finding life tough, I’ll share some specific readings soon. But I suggest you start by perusing the wikipedia entries of the battle of Verdun during WWI, the D-Day during WWII, the Shoah, etc…⁠ .⁠ We have time after all and it might just help keep things in perspective and paradoxically calm the mind in these challenging times.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #perspective #coronavirus #covid #confinement #staysane #history #mentaltoughness #movnat #naturalmovement #mentalhealth #meditation #keepcalmandcarryon #health #wellbeing #performance #crossfit #bepositive #staystrong #knowwhereyourecomingfrom #rolemodel⁠


🤦🏻‍♂️Social distancing at Bondi beach… It’s easy to mock and blame (and be angry with) these people for being selfish and not reducing the spread of the Coronavirus here in Australia where cases haven’t exploded yet. But there are good reasons that explain this behaviour: . There is still no lock down orders, just a ban on mass gatherings and encouragements to work from home and practice social distancing. Schools, universities, etc. are open. Even casinos (those almighty taxes). All the directions to really stay home and avoid any contact come from the medical professionals speaking for themselves, not for the government. Not easy for some to believe the urgency if the government doesn’t say so itself… . Fear is a natural feeling to have in this situation and maintaining normalcy is a very human way of fighting this fear. We all do it and it does help us in many occasions. But right now, it will cost lives. . Cognitive dissonance. Us humans don’t like inconsistency and will do our utmost to make things consistent otherwise we literally feel pain. For example: schools open, universities open, heck, casinos open. If it was really important to isolate ourselves, surely these would be closed? What’s the harm in going to the beach if students still mingle at schools, etc… . So what needs to be done? There is a need to bring back all the official messages in alignment, and quickly. If some actions are truly important, then we need consistency: make them mandatory and enforce them. . Turn fear into a tool: people will resist adopting unpleasant and anxious behaviours until fear makes them do it. Sadly, there is little choice but to be more transparent about the risks here and scare a bit more people into doing their part. It’s not about inducing panic but about inducing hard behavioural changes that need to come. . What can WE do? Adopt these behaviours ourselves. We really are social animals and we imitate others. The more of us adopt these practices and lead by example, the sooner they will become the norm of the majority and the sooner we’ll protect our most vulnerable society members. . . . . #socialdistancing #corona #virus #behavioralanalysis #beresponsible

Training at heigh focuses the mind and gives train
Training at heigh focuses the mind and gives training sessions some of the same benefits as meditation… This is low risk and low danger for me but it requires my full focus regardless and steps any anxiety away.⁠ .⁠ You can scale this for you and even heights at 20-30 cm can make you feel the need to focus without posing significant danger, especially if you balance on such heights.⁠ .⁠ If you can, continue (or start) to train and exercise in these troubled times, as exercise boosts our immune system and being outside is also beneficial both for your physical and mental health. The gym might be off limits or might be best avoided but @movnat provides plenty of inspiration to exercise outdoors.⁠ .⁠ If you’re confined at home, check the exact rules as some countries allow you to go out and exercise as long as you’re on on your own (France and Belgium do for example).⁠ .⁠ Even if you cannot go out, check out @jerome_scarabs feed for plenty of inspiration about practicing @movnat at home!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #movnat #naturalmovement #naturalmovementfitness #nutritiousmovement #parkour #paleolife #paleolifestyle #primal #functionalfitness #outdoorgym #outdoorfitness #nogymneeded #movementismedicine #activelifestyle #healthylifestyle #easternsuburbs #paleo #holisticliving #naturalhealing #familylife #bodyweightworkout #bodyweightexercises #conditioning #holistichealth #calisthenics⁠

My attempt at the movement puzzle posted a while ago by @stage6fitness Go see their feed as the original post (currently 7th position) is much better and cuter 😉 . I'm going to repost their caption below as it says it all 😁 . Repost caption from @stage6fitness : “Ground Movement Puzzle 1 - Hip, Ankle + Knee Mobility. This is a favourite little ground movement puzzle that we like to give people to figure out. Plus it doubles as a fantastic hip, knee and ankle mobility drill. . Did you know Stage 6 is on YouTube? We’re “Stage 6 Tribe” and you can find lots of little snippets/workouts/technique videos like this one! . Ease into this pattern gently and try and move smoothly and with control between the positions (it’s in the journey that the goodness is!) Use your hands for support as necessary, gradually building up to no hands 🙌🏼🙌🏼 We’ve tagged some of our movement friends - feel free to give it a go and tag us in your vids (@stage6fitness )” . #stage6fitness #movnat #naturalmovement #groundmovement #movementculture #mobility #anklemobility #prehab #prehabnotrehab #rehab #trainsmarternotharder #mindfulness #hipmobility #brisbanefitness #nundah #lovingnundah #brisbanegym #monkeyseemonkeydo #leadbyexample #nutritiousmovement #crossfit #paleolife #paleolifestyle #primal #functionalfitness #activelifestyle #healthylifestyle #paleo #holisticliving

How fantastic and inspiring is that video from @movnatmadison ? All the more so because of the wise caption! . Repost from @movnatmadison : “At first glance this may look like a fun way for Mommy to workout with her kiddo. These movements serve a more practical purpose. Practicing these skills ensures mom can evacuate through potentially hazardous environments/situations. This not only ensures her safety but that of her child too. Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, bad things happen. As you reflect on new year's resolutions, think about your "WHY". Ask yourself are you trying so you can be strong to be helpful? . If you're ready to start training this way @movnat can get you there. Thanks @cleanbillhealthcoaching for the demo. . #strongmama #strongtobehelpful #barefootfitness #movewellmadison #madisonfitness #MovNat #NaturalMovement #whatsyourwhy” . . . . . #nutritiousmovement #parkour #paleolife #paleolifestyle #primal #functionalfitness #outdoorgym #outdoorfitness #nogymneeded #movementismedicine #activelifestyle #healthylifestyle #paleo #holisticliving #naturalhealing #familylife #crossfit #holistichealth #rolemodel

🧠 Strength training in an uncontrolled environment beats the same move in the gym! The surface of support may be thicker, irregular and very rough: all attributes increasing complexity and thus developing adaptability 😁 . Move: in @movnat / @naturalmovement terms, transition from Double-Hand Front Hang to Double-Hand, Double-Leg-Hook Hang, done for reps, incredible for core and grip strength training 💪🏽 . . . . #movnat #naturalmovement #naturalmovementfitness #nutritiousmovement #parkour #paleolife #paleolifestyle #primal #functionalfitness #outdoorgym #outdoorfitness #nogymneeded #movementismedicine #activelifestyle #healthylifestyle #easternsuburbs #paleo #holisticliving #naturalhealing #familylife #crossfit #bodyweightworkout #bodyweightexercises #conditioning #holistichealth #rolemodel #calisthenics
