You know, the world of fitness never stops changing. And right now, one emerging trend is getting all the attention: the Primitive Movement. Does that mean something to you? We are talking about basic, simple and natural movements that our ancestors used instinctively to survive. A little dive into the origins of humanity, are you tempted?
I. The principle of primal movement:
The principle of Primitive Movement is to reconnect with these basic movements that our bodies have developed over the course of evolution to ensure our survival. We’re talking about moving on all fours, kicking, bending, in short, rediscovering our animal side!
By integrating these primitive movements into our training, we stimulate our mobility, strengthen our body functionally and regain optimal alignment. The Primitive Movement approach is aimed at everyone, whether beginner or experienced athlete, and offers a variety of options so that everyone can progress at their own pace.
And there, hold on tight, we’re outside the usual circles of traditional gyms! Primitive Movement reconnects us with our bodies in a deeper way and reminds us of the importance of our connection with nature. We find real communion with the environment around us, and that feels really good!
II. The Advantages of Primitive Movement:
Primitive movement, also called natural or functional movement, is an approach to physical activity that focuses on the movements for which our bodies are naturally designed.
Here are some of the benefits of primitive movements:
1. Improved strength and flexibility: Primitive movements utilize the entire body and help strengthen muscles, bones and joints. They also improve flexibility, mobility and coordination.
2. Injury Prevention: By strengthening stabilizing muscles and improving balance and coordination, primitive movements can help prevent common injuries such as sprains and strains.
3. Improved posture: Primitive movement activities such as squats help strengthen back and leg muscles, which can improve posture and relieve back pain.
4. Stress management: Primitive exercise can serve as physical and emotional relaxation and help reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, it promotes the production of endorphins, the feel-good hormones.
5. Increased Energy: Primitive exercise stimulates blood circulation, which can increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to cells, resulting in an increase in energy and vitality.
6. Improved Brain Function: Primitive movements include complex movements that require coordination between body and mind. This can improve brain function, including concentration, memory and decision-making.
7. Return to Roots: By connecting with natural movements, primitive movement allows individuals to reconnect with their instincts and inherent nature. This can promote a sense of well-being and fulfillment.
It should be noted that primitive movement adapts to all levels of physical condition and can be practiced by people of all ages.
III. Approaches to the primal movement:
Have you ever wondered why we have muscles and joints? Or how people have survived for centuries without sophisticated fitness equipment? The primal movement can answer these questions.
Primitive exercise is a set of physical activities that use basic movements such as crawling, jumping, walking, running, crawling and swimming. These movements are natural human activities and are based on the oldest movements of our body.
The practice of primal movement dates back to the Paleolithic period, when our ancestors moved through nature in search of food and protection from predators. Our ancestors used these movements for everything from hunting to fetching water.
There are several popular methods for practicing primitive movements, including:
1. The MovNat Method: This method emphasizes the natural and functional movement that is prevalent in our daily lives, such as Hiking in the mountains, climbing, diving and fishing.
2. Natural movement method: This method focuses on aerial gymnastics, strength and resistance work that imitates the movements of animals. Use movements such as swimming, climbing and walking.
3. The Animal Flow Method: It is a modern approach that focuses on animal-inspired movements. Use moves like monkey, scorpion, snake and leopard.
4. The Ido portal method: This method focuses on strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance. Use movements such as bending, twisting, bending, jumping and rolling.
Each of these methods offers a unique approach to primitive movement practice, focusing on different types of movement and offering a variety of exercises and sequences. By exploring these different methods, you will be able to find the one that best suits your needs, fitness level and preferences.
Conclusion:
Are you ready to take on the challenge and embrace your primitive side? Join the Primitive Movement and discover the power of instinctive and natural movements. Your body will thank you; you will feel stronger, more grounded and more in tune with our evolutionary heritage.
