F*** Exercise. Try this Instead.

This is one of my most favorite articles and is written by Krista Scott-Dixon. Her article F*** Exercise. Try this Instead, outlines some of the aspects that individuals may run into during their movement, or as mainstream has it "exercise" journey. When we are young we start out untainted and are quite the movement experts! Playing and having almost perfect movement efficiency in most of all that we do, and most of all having fun WHILE moving at the same time. This was natural play, and one's body was able to explore all the possibilities and all the angles that were available to the human form. Overtime, what was once our natural movement becomes "exercise" and a disconnect between the mind and the body can occur. She explains how exploration and experimentation can increase resilience, increase skill sets, and inject passion into your movement.
