Health and wellness

• Historical summaries
• Problem Areas
• Routines

I wasn’t sure I’d ever create this section, but here we are.

The bottom line is that I don’t get sick or injured. Further, I have some baggage when it comes to the medical profession. Finally, I’m becoming injured but not sick, unsure if I should push or pause.

I’m a reasonably kinetic human. I’m fascinated by the human body moving through space. For years I’ve participated in what I call passive exercise. My desire for movement is unconventional.

Watching gymnastics was a favorite growing up. When I was introduced to parkour and freerunning, I was fascinated.

I’ve moved the year-by-year summaries to create consistency with other overview pages on the site, focusing on values, principles, practices, and tools. Further, this area will continue to evolve as the content is created and iterated concerning presentation.

1. Functional movement patterns over targeted training.
2. Movement efficiency over maxing out (reps, load, and so on).
3. Passive over active exercises. (“Active” means the primary purpose of the movements is to exercise, while “passive” means exercise is ancillary to another task or goal.)

1. Efficiency of movement increases the longevity of movement.
   1. Speed hides inefficiencies.
   2. Momentum hides inefficiencies.
2. Correlation is not causation; however, context is important.
3. If you can’t breathe in a given position, you have no business being in that position.

1. If it hurts, don’t do it.
2. Physical therapy.
3. (sports) Massage therapy.
4. MovNat, Parkour, and calisthenics.
5. The sun and water scale for diet.

1. My body.
2. The Whoop, health monitor.
