Hola Movers! I hope you're having a great weekend. Another week is behind us, and another opportunity is here to keep building momentum. Remember, this isn't about being perfect. It's about continuing to show up and stacking small wins over time. A few quality sessions each week can make a huge difference when done consistently. 🔥 Plan Your Week Take a minute today to look at your calendar and decide when your sessions will happen this week. Aim for three sessions if possible, and if life gets busy, a few Barefoot Breaks are always better than doing nothing at all. 🏆 June Sessions Challenge If you haven't updated your June Sessions Challenge recently, take a moment to do that this week. Every session counts, and it's been great seeing the consistency many of you are building. 🌱 New Members If you joined recently, I'd encourage you to make these two resources your priority this week: 👣 The Movement Foundations Class 👣 The Movement Foundations Assessment The class will help you understand the foundations we focus on inside this community, and the assessment will give you a much clearer picture of where your body is right now and where to focus first. 🎥 Live Classes Our live classes are back on the regular schedule this week. The live sessions are included for Premium and VIP members, but if you're new and would like to join Tuesday's Foundations session, let me know in the comments below and I'll share the link with you. Tuesday is our Foundations class, making it a great place to get started, experience a live session, ask questions, and receive coaching. 💬 Check In Below 👇 How many sessions did you complete this past week? 👇 What days are you planning to train this coming week? 👇 Any wins, discoveries, challenges, or questions you'd like to share? Have a great week everyone!

This morning I taught my granddaughter to row, and one of the best things was her hip hinge! She worked on that on Wednesday, dropping into Rodrigo's in-person class, so it was fresh in her movement lexicon, making my job easier and the learning more enjoyable. A big success!

I just finished Level 3 session 2 (I think), and the split squats were way too much for both L ankle and R knee. I love the tripod lift but it's much more challenging on my left arm/right leg, the one with the faulty knee. I know I favor the L leg (ankle), but didn't think I was neglecting the L arm as well. Interesting! I will go thru the tutorial on tripod lifts to work on it. I've taken a whole week off rowing and I feel much more "creaky", tight and uncomfortable moving. We have been paddling, 3 times this week, mostly knee-, some belly. I noticed both that I can get back farther on my heels (inches to go!) and that it's much easier now for me to belly paddle with both arms at the same time, which requires lifting both arms above the water for the full stroke recovery. I will work on doing much more paddling for the next few weeks, hoping to continue building strength and mobility in my shoulders and lats.

Give the tripod get up a try and let me know how it goes for you. Move slowly and with control, and notice how well you can coordinate the movement from the ground. Pay attention to your balance, strength, and how smooth or challenging the transition feels. 👉 Make sure to test both sides: - One with your left arm on the ground - One with your right arm on the ground After testing it, drop your score below (0–3 for each side) and share: • Left side score: • Right side score: • What did you notice? • Did one side feel different than the other? • Did any part of the movement feel difficult or unstable? • Any questions about the movement? If you can, feel free to upload a short video or picture — I’ll take a look and give you feedback. This will help me better understand where you’re at and guide you in the right direction. Remember: this is not about doing it perfectly — it’s about understanding your body.

Give the overhead reach a try and let me know how it goes for you. Move slowly and pay attention to your shoulder mobility, rib position, and whether you need to arch your lower back to reach overhead.mNotice if you can keep control through your core while lifting your arms. After testing it, drop your score below (0–3) and share: • What did you notice? • Did you feel any tightness or compensation? • Any questions about the movement? If you can, feel free to upload a short video or picture — I’ll take a look and give you feedback. This will help me better understand where you’re at and guide you in the right direction. Remember: this is not about doing it perfectly — it’s about understanding your body.
