Today the fitness industry is focused primarily on aesthetics and outward appearance for fitness.
Men need to look like jacked WWE wrestlers and women need to look like silicone dolls.
And the training reflects that.
Many of the exercises focus purely on increasing muscle size, or the “feeling” of getting a workout… while neglecting function.
They may be able to bench 2 plates but can’t touch their toes.
They may be able to leg press for days but roll their ankle playing a pick up game.
Neglecting locomotive exercises can set you up for weaknesses and injuries down the road.
Especially when you need to perform athletic movements.
We saw this first hand while working with Ninja Warrior.
Even some of the biggest jacked guys, who lived in the gym, would fall on the first obstacles or worse seriously injure themselves due to lack of mobility, balance, and stamina.
The competitors that practiced multiple disciplines and trained locomotive exercises always performed the best.
But you don't need to train as hard as a Ninja Warrior...
You just need to include the core locomotive exercises, that we call the 8 Primal Moves.
These are exercises that train athletic movement patterns.
As a result you will achieve a lean, pain free body to prepare you for any challenge.
Whether that's just playing a game of football with the kids or surviving a natural disaster.
Because these primal movements were inspired by just that…
