On 'Exercising Like a Caveman': Commentary by Erwan Le Corre

If I had no idea what MovNat is and I was reading this article about “exercising like a caveman,” I would probably find the whole thing a little scary, but also intriguing and seriously fun stuff.   Despite a slight distortion of reality (did I really say I was “being the  healthiest man”?  Ah,  certainly not!)

The real reason for brains

I like to say that that “movement comes from the inside out.”  When teaching movement efficiency, MovNat instructors frequently remind trainees to be “mindful” when moving.  It doesn’t mean that we need to think of movement in an analytical way when moving, but we do want to sharpen our proprioceptive sense to finely tune motor-control.

In brief, the short story is simple:  This was an outrageously inspirational event, not just for me personally, but for anyone interested in themes of health, human origins and primal living.  This event will ripple all across

“We are adaptive, we are skilled, we are versatile and we are amazing.”

It’s 3.30pm on a Friday afternoon and as I look at the office clock for the tenth time since lunch I rationalize that it’s finally reasonable for me to log off and head to the airport.  After all, I have a 6.45pm flight and as a seasoned traveler I know just how many things can

Rediscovering the real Paleo people

As members of the “Paleo/Primal/Evolutionary/Ancestral” movement we often find ourselves wondering about how our faraway ancestors used to live their lives, but seem quick to forget that there are still some uncontacted human populations out there that have never ceased living the way our ancestors did.

Their lifestyle is the purest form of Paleo living we
