Dominik has indeed contacted me some time ago and I have agreed to do an interview so it should be done in a near future I guess.

I have your name seen at the website from Dominik Feischl: http://naturtraining.blogspot.com/2009/06/die-methode-der-natur.html

He is an sports-journalist from austria and a strong guy who loves train outdoors and he had with a professional climber Jürgen Reis a web-podcast to hear and download mp3-Files about training and all around this theme.

It called http://www.power-quest.cc
Oh, that was a very great think to hear an interview on power-quest … sometimes!

But sorry Erwan, i begann to babble … but i am so enthusiastic and full of energy about your ideas of movement. Can you conceive to give a kurse in gemrany?

Okay … not to long! Sorry, my english is not good but i hope i can verbalize what i feel!

Many regards to you Erwan and all readers!

Jared, thanks for such a positive feedback. Yes kids show us the way, because their movement is playful, exploratory, practical and above all it is adaptive.
However, in adults or in…”zoo humans” we need a method that goes beyond the pure exploratory mode, and actually this goes as well for fitter, but specialized athletes or anyone willing to train/learn optimum natural movement while skipping much of the trial and error process and while preventing injury, which is fundamental in more aged individuals.
In MovNat, there is a structured training type that actually prepares very efficiently for full adaptive exploratory movement in nature.
The distinction can be seen in the “MovNat at Wildfitness” video where a structured training is followed right away by free exploration in nature (by the beach!). Moving free, i.e in an adaptive way not creative way (context-free unpractical creative moves are not part of natural movement) in nature or any environment being the ultimate goal.

Chase, that’s a good choice, but I would personally go for FeelMax shoes, they don’t have the cool design of the FFs but they have actually a much more barefoot touch and are more practical I think (I have tested both products).

Wow what a great article, it encompasses the Real world, natural, fun, playful approach to health and wellness (and life) that I so resonate with, belive in and do my best to model and teach, it’s just common sense really, unfortunately however common sense is the last common of the senses aye!

Huge Kudos to you Erwan for leading the charge and re-awakening the masses to get back in touch with themselves, re-discover their child like wander and their bodies through this ‘Movement’!

As a Daddy (most important title I hold) to a wonderful lil 6 year old girl and the CFO (Chief Fun Officer) of an outdoor natural movement based Fit Camp here in Houston, I love this quote of yours from the article…

“Kids are our guides. They show us the way. They have no predefined notion of fitness. It’s all play and exploration.”

Amen my friend time to get out of the gyms and question the CW (Conventional Wisdom) approach to ‘working out’…time to get abck to basics…and get outdoors and ‘play out’…just MOVE (walk, crawl, swim, jump, throw, run barefoot preferably, etc) and have FUN!

Train MOVEMENTS not Muscles!

Form follows FUNCTION!

Thanks so much for this, i LOVE IT!!!

To Your Healthy Success!
