MoveNat – strong, natural movement the way we are designed…

Posted by JacQ

Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat®, photo showing him combining carrying and balancing.

I stumbled upon MoveNat through begin 2 dig, a wonderful blog that I have been following ever since I have decided that I want to lose fat (not necessarily weight since I might gain muscle mass in the process) and get in better fitness shape for health and to be able to do all the fun outdoor activities that Jeremy and I want to try out, learn and get better at.

We tried P90X for one week and was not able to follow through, a few different diets and could not follow through either. But so far, we have been able to visit the local YMCA (BTW, thanks to Jeremy’s research, it is the best nation-wide -- even internationally -- gym membership for us full time RVers!) regularly to do cardio, weight training and swimming. The YMCAs that we visit here in Hilliard and Powell, Ohio also have kick ass showers and hot tubs for us to use… For $72.59/month per two(2) adults/couple – Two adults, sharing the same residence married, engaged or defining themselves as mutual, significant others), we can visit any of the YMCA in the Central Ohio area and  there is NO joiner’s fee, NO hidden fees and NO long term contracts! More of this topic in another blog post.

Back to MovNat… I love the concept of MovNat. Jeremy and I talk about how modern society eliminated our need for hunting and gathering, the way humans had been surviving for centuries before we learned domestication. It is really not that long ago that we did not sit all day in the office, working… to make a living – to survive.

Living in the RV and traveling around the states, without a permanent residence might be hard for us to keep going to the gym or work out. But, we are always looking for ways and time to hit a bike trail if we can and visit a local YMCA for some gym action.

I wish some day we can have some free time to camp close to a location that we can try out this MovNat workouts!

Check out the videos below. They really inspired me to want to go out and hike/run a trail with these moves!
