Quickly, apart from having to deal with external parameters such as mud, snow or ice, which demand that you adapt how you move and might slow you down in order to ensure your safety, training in the cold mainly requires an adaptation that is predominantly physiological and must be incremental. Because of the physiological side of it, diet can have a tremendously important role to play. So, I'm afraid that the reason why I do not provide "quick tips" is because I do not believe in quick fixes. Once you start providing information, it only triggers even more questions, all simply because tips are never enough. I prefer to focus on an instructional material that will answer most questions.

Our deer season just picked up this weekend and I have to say that your program/training style has grealy aided me with endurance and easily manuevering through the thick timber during our 2 hour plus walks. Just wanted to say thank you for all the inspiration. I belive MovNat has aided me in making some tremendous progress. Also, I was wondering what you had for winter training tips? I remember you saying you wanted to post some when the time had come. We have already received over a foot of snow here in the Midwest. Have any quick tips? Thanks for any feedback. Tony Erwan,

MovNat as an organization was born only a few months ago. You can't expect from it to provide right now all the things that well-established companies that have been developing for years (and sometimes decades can provide). Book, DVD, certification and certified trainers and training facilities, none of that can be pulled out of a hat like a rabbit :D. Behind the website there are real people and real hard-work. In this fast-paced world were many things seem to be accessible instantly online, patience is still a virtue ;-). Adrian, I like to recall that Rome wasn’t made in a day.

Now I am definitely a believer and I am always looking for ways to incorporate it into my life. Keep inspiring! Cullen Hey Erwan,

In regards to the Men’s Health Article, I am very glad you allowed them to interview you, otherwise I never would have learned about MovNat. Now I am definitely a believer and I am always looking for ways to incorporate it into my life.

Keep inspiring!

Thanks Hi Erwan

When Men's Health contacted me asking for an article my first answer was..."no thanks, what you do has nothing to do with what I do." In the end, it though gave me an opportunity to spread the word to a wide scale about an unconventional, not mainstream approach to "working out". Men's Health is not different today, but the message is out and it has already inspired thousands of people to exercise differently and spend more time out. That is what matters to me.

So it was his initiative to mention them in that article not mine, now I sure do recommend training or coaching methods such as those, that have proven their effectiveness and that are based on universal principles and a mindful approach of movement practice, which is what MovNat is all about, just in a broader way.
