This is the kind of thing I often see people doing… without even realizing it. And it’s exactly why I spend so much time having you practice and get really good at the basics. Not just doing them…But doing them well and understanding why they matter. Because when the foundations are off, everything built on top of that is off too. This video might help bring some awareness. But also understand—this doesn’t just show up in planks. It shows up in squats, hinges, walking… everything. Let me read your comments below!

You’ve probably noticed we use a lot of reaches. There’s a reason for that. Reaching is not just an exercise—It’s something your body is naturally designed to do. But over time… We move less.We stay in the same positions longer.And even when we train, movement can become repetitive. So the body loses its ability to move freely and coordinate as a whole. That’s where reaches come in. 👉 They give your body a clear, meaningful task 👉 They help joints move through more natural ranges 👉 They reconnect different parts of your body Instead of forcing positions…You simply reach—and your body starts organizing itself. In the video, I’m doing reaches from a kneeling position. 👉 Give it a try 👉 Move slow and with control 👉 Don’t force anything—just explore the movement After you try it, let me know: • How did it feel? • Did one side feel different than the other? • Did anything feel restricted or disconnected? And one more thing... Would you like me to create a short 5–8 minute follow-along reach routine? Something you can use as: • A quick Barefoot Break • A morning routine • Or to complement your training 👉 Comment “yes” if that’s something you’d use

I know a few of you wanted to spend a bit more time with this one… so I’ve got you 👇 Find below a YouTube video where I break down and teach the Tripod Get Up — which is the last assessment from the Movement Foundations Test. This is a powerful movement that tells us a lot about coordination, control, and how well the body works together as a system. Take your time with it. Watch the video, explore the steps, and start building familiarity with the movement. A couple important reminders: • Only attempt and practice it if it feels pain-free • If it feels too challenging right now, that’s completely okay — skip it for now (that’s also valuable information) • Go slow, stay controlled, and focus on understanding the movement This is not about forcing it… it’s about learning what your body can do right now and building from there. If you go through it: 👉 Let me know how it feels 👉 Drop any questions below 👉 You can even share a video if you want feedback (or to "show off" 😉)

I really appreciate you taking the time to join me live today. I hope you found it valuable—and more importantly, that it gave you a clearer picture of your body and where you currently stand. Because that’s the goal of this work: 👉 Not to judge… but to understand and train to progress. To notice: - What feels easy - What feels challenging - Where your body may need a bit more attention and training Next Step 👇 You can now find the follow-along version (25 min) inside the Movement Foundations Test classroom. 👉 Go through it when you have a moment 👉 Take your time with each position 👉 Stay mindful and move with control Once you’re done: Please head over to the post 👉 “Drop your test results here”and share: - Your scores - Any discoveries or observations - Questions you may have This step is very important. Not only will it help you better understand your current situation but it also gives you a baseline to track your progress over time. And that’s where the real value is. I’ll be checking your results and helping you make sense of them—so we can start building the right path forward for your training. Let’s keep going 💪

Give the single leg balance a try and let me know how it goes for you. Test yourself for 30 seconds on each leg and count how many times you need to touch the floor. Pay attention to your balance, foot stability, and any differences between sides. After testing it, drop your score below (0–3) and share: • What did you notice? • Did one side feel more challenging? • Any questions about the movement? Remember: this is not about doing it perfectly — it’s about understanding your body.
