Move Better Simply: The Minimalist Movement Practice

Natural movement, Minimalist fitness

I’m always looking to find the best ways to get people over the initial hump and hooked on natural movement.

One approach I’ve found to be successful over the past several years is an interval-style workout using MovNat variations. It’s a time-saving session that’s easy to jump into and will get you in amazing shape.

The workout has a simple format, 30 movements each performed for ~60 seconds. There is no equipment or specific context necessary. The design creates waves of intensity spread out across a wide array of different patterns. The session keeps you in the movement and prompts you to adjust your effort accordingly. I call this minimalist fitness —limit distractions and do more with less.

Natural movement is definitely a different look than mainstream fitness. The movements may be unfamiliar and there are many questions on how to practice. This workout has a low barrier of entry and can make for a good first impression. It offers a familiar experience with high energy & intensity while encouraging a shift towards more mindful and organic movement.

Once you feel it, the process starts building momentum. It doesn’t happen overnight but I’ve seen it happen where one workout becomes the catalyst for massive changes in health and fitness. Find something new to love about your workout and it might just change everything.
