When we talk about Functional Training we often think of the Gym.
However, Erwin Le Corre from MOV NAT (Move Naturally) thinks differently.
Mov Nat talks about Physical Performance being divided up into:
· Movement skills
· Conditioning
· Mind set
Mov Nat argues that true Functional training should be outdoors and in nature not in the Gym.
In nature our physical skills can be separated into:
- Manipulative
- Combative
- Locomotive
This then depends on the contextual demands:
· Environmental
· Situational
Erwin talks about the 10 Mov Nat concepts:
1. Evolutionary
2. Instinctual
3. Universal
4. Practical
5. Vital
6. Adaptive
7. Unspecialised
8. Efficient
9. Co-operative
10. Environmental
This gets away from compartmentalising fitness with the overall goal of being fit to be helpful for others.
