This actually makes sense. The whole time I was in the Army we never used gyms. We just ran a lot, did lots of push ups, sit ups, and pull ups. I was in the best shape of my life. When people tell me they feel like they need to join a gym, I think it's amusing. Just get out and do it. It costs nothing to run 2 miles in your neighborhood each day. Actually, I found $5 on one of my jogs, so you can even make money at times.
+Jodin Dunbar that money part made me laugh lol
Ok idk what unit you were in but pt is a fuckin joke. Only way soldier will pass their pt test is by maintaining their own physical performance through self training on their own time.
Jodin Dunbar it does make sense when you think about it. I agree. Semi Static gym movements like bicep curls seem obsolete when your main goal is to be a functional human. They are good for rehab though so horses for courses.
Good health to all.
I think you're wrong. Calisthenics only translate to movements that don't require force over external objects. If you wanna exert force over external objects like a log 1:33 or your opponent 1:57 you should USE WEIGHTS . You don't need to go to a gym tho , I used to do Stiff Leg Deadlifts with bags of rice
U forgot a good ole rucksack road march too
Hello. As a wheelchair user since I was born I find this truly amazing and inspiring. Everybody should move the way he or she can even if the people around you find it ridicilous. I find it really sad that people do not use their full range of motion or they do not appreciatiate the fact that they can move relatively freely.
I'm a thirty-something out-of-shape stay-at-home mom, and I'm moved to tears by this. It's touching a deep longing in me to be. To be where things are. Rather than to do, do, do.
Beautiful.
A lifestyle that was slammed down by industrialism. Respect.
Sad, actually, but true!!!
Agriculture was the baddy. Industrialism just made it even worse
I think the nicest thing about this is the environment he is practicing in.
This video is so beautiful and liberating. I do parkour, which is pretty much the same thing. We were designed to run, jump, climb and swim, not to sit indoors and interact with electronic screens.
Cure for depression, anxiety, and every other disease of civilization right here.
Having served in the Military, i find the way modern society has turned deeply concerning, i almost feel trapped, in an abstract world of odd responsibilties, at least in the military you volunteered to be told what to do, civvy street is a strange place, we wonder around like zombies, when i reconnect with the wild places, such as climbing, wild running, or just listening to the waves crash on the rocks at the beach, there is this overwhelming feeling that this is where we should be, not slumped at an office desk missing our life, i know we have to work in this world, but where is the balance?
Grolsh22
There is no balance for most people my friend. It sounds like you've reached a level of enlightenment that 99% of the slavish, overweight population will sadly never attain.
Not only would a reconecrion with our wild and natural heritage assist in helping with modern stress and depression, it could help prevent minor crimes and petty squables. Maybe!
So inspiring. I want to do this every day.
This approach towards physical fitness answers so much of what is missing in more contemporary routinized training- integration with natural environments, natural movement, and childlike exhiliration through exploring. Great work.
That looks like the kind of stuff me, and all the boys I knew did every day growing up in the 1960s...back when kids played outside. Now video games make couch potatoes out of them ! It looks fun!
Yeah right, I can also run through the woods blindfolded or levitate & on top of that my body is able to not require food for a whole year :D.
More seriously, true my heart rate used to be 32-35 in the morning, but that's when I was training endurance more specifically which is not the case at the moment.
Again I am not doing what I do so people look up to me but to inspire people to start inspiring themselves.
Start looking up to yourself people, liberate and empower yourself! Power to people!
Love it!! The more you learn the more your realize its just healthy to go back to the basics..the way your body is designed to work....eat real food, move your body in natural ways..sounds so good...Just wish I lived close to water....but hey I will work with what I have!
Nature is calling..
Reminds me of Rocky IV.
That was awesome. However, a lot of those workouts are incredibly dangerous lol. Still a great philosophy though. We were NOT meant to live our lives with excess pent up energy, eating crap, and using machines to exercise.
Erik Menendez it's parkour you reach that level when you've started basics. It's like saying I'm not going to school because I can't fly a plane not knowing before flying a plane one went through years of training.
This video made me cry. One of the most beautiful things I've seen in my whole life. I would love to be in nature like that :)
Albert Anvil Imagine living at your highest potential. It IS beautiful!!
amen....AMEN!!!
I really like the way you swim
@MovNat "The edge is so wide it doesn't affect your balance." How about the unevenness of the surface, the nice fall waiting if you take one misstep, or the incredible sureness of foot to even THINK about making that run? The sheer natural athleticism on display in this video is astounding. The training MovNat has shown me coupled with a lot of other work also designed to make myself a better athlete and not just tennis player makes me train with no limits and test myself as much as possible!
I can never get enough of this video. I love it. It made me start with MovNat. I show it for all my students as inspiration: the movement we are developed for...
Absolutely awesome!
Not everyone can do this stuff barefoot running on rocks and climbing upside down on trees this dude is a rare man much power to him good video
being in touch with nature like this is great
When I go the the woods and do basic things like sprints, some climbing and exploration I feel so high energized!
Looking forward to learn more of this moves to later incorporate in my routine :)
This was beautifully shot, Timothy! Of course, your movement was strong and graceful. Thank you for helping to remind us to get back to nature. We're all still animals deep down... Release the beast! Peacefully Stay, Erwan! -Jeff
I had Native Americans who did, and probably still do shit like this, but they dont give it a fancy name, they'd be like "hey wanna go for a hike?" the difference is that they did it with a smile.
All native people did.
certainly one of the best workout videos ive seen Thumbs Up man!!!
Good Job
although I love science and technollogy and I'm really looking forward to see the new stuff with what we'll come out in the next decades, having the time to train like this would like a dream come true to me, this video is just perfect and keep up with the nice things you do guys :)
This video never ceases to inspire me!
Great video Erwan. I am trying to incorporate more of this into my daily life. Very motivational.
what he is doing would have been called playing outside, when i was young....so many years ago
this is a very beautiful thing to watch. it's the fluidity of the movement that i like. he makes it look so easy and natural. well done sir!
It's amazing to see what the human body is capable of when you put the correct mindset and spirit behind it. I can't wait till the DVD's come out!
I´m impressed. This seems like a fun way to spend time with yourself in the nature :)
Hey man, you are my hero. I was in the bodybuilding, as I always liked to workout, but still I was not happy, because I did not want steroids or anything else.
I wish I knew your training system back in 2007, when I was in the military. Anyway, I am going to follow your program.
I am actually lifting weights, running, Jiu Jitsu and yoga.
Good to know there are people like you around the world. Greetings from Brazil.
It is fun, beautiful and complete. I am a newly level 1 certified trainer.
This one of the best workout i ever seen! good work.
Ah Corsica! Beautiful place! Thank you so much for posting. Your workout is as inspiring as the environment. Any where that beautiful in the US would be covered with private property and high priced gyms. Keep up the good work!
fantastic workout... thanks Erwan. u r an inspiration to every human being in the world. this is much better than any fitness programme i have ever heard. its physically challenging, pure fun, and frees ur mind from any stress and worries. and the best part is.... its self-motivating workout . God bless u...
Há 11 anos, esse vídeo ainda me inspira...
This dude is a video game character, just running around the open world and climbing stuff
i think this was me on acid , once...
conni70 but you didn't have pants.
hahahahaha
a very inspiring approach of exploring you capability and the nature
Oh Erwan, how I miss your motivational input and reading your views on the parkour.net website (it only exists in archive form). Nice to see you're still alive!
I have been sleeping on this...so thankful I am awake and mindful now.
This is great Erwan, now we just need the winter version!
This video was legit, I just subbed!
I like it - beautiful locations!
The best workout ever. Only movnat..
Amazing!!☺
Wow, you really got me enthusiast for work out. Never been into gym/indoors training. Played football for 8 years so my knees are kinda in bad shape. And especially my right knee has been acheing from city running. I tried barefoot running in the woods here in middle of sweden. And i must say, never in my life have a runned more effortless. Sure, the pain was there after i stopped running. But not half as bad as i thought it would be. THANKS ALOT! will train my feets/body until summer!
Such a great Workout, i´ll try it myself. Thank You
I've signed up for the 1day workshop in San Diego in Oct. Super stoked
Awesome video. Being a traceur, I do very similar excercises but usually in an urban environment. I've always been a nature lover though so this is really just beautiful. The life I dream of living.
@valgez you can totally mess up with your body using conventional gym equipment such as barbells too!
It is knowing what you do that is key to safety, not trying to remove difficulty or risk. Skill, experience, but also scalability, moderation or pure common sense is what makes a difference between a movement or action that is safe...or not.
Things are what they are, it is your action in relation to those things that generate efficiency and performance or failure and injury.
awesome, just totally awesome, speechless for words, this amazes me
maravilhoso, parabens ERwan. Video realmente inspirador.
it's a dream of long ,long ago..been like Tarzan..
One of the most beautiful video i've seen,thank you.
This is absolutely true movement.
No more words.
OUTSTANDING - the movement from training to being.
Erwin is a perfect example of a physically competent human. Kudos!
IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR VIDS
Great man .# love it.
love this=P great philosophy behind it all and i think that this is way better than the gym=) i live in Norge and me and my friends have been trying this out for the past 2 yrs=P awesome! thx Erwan Le Corre!! True inspiration=)
I like this a lot. Really cool and looks like fun
speechless ... it's good to find people who already did what I do, but thinking it would be almost the only ... at least in Portugal. movnat the best
Incredible, this makes perfect sense to me.
Awesome video!
Such an inspiring video! Thank you for sharing! :)
I Think that is one of the coolest workouts i have ever seen.
Awesome! thanks for sharing and reminding us. i would like to call this "Tarzan's workout". best exersices ever.
Great stuff! That makes working out look more like playing. I hate being confined inside a building.
@MovNat Too right! Keep moving naturally!
Awesome... I'm inspired...
I'm on Paleo and I feel like this is the natural way we humans should be getting our exercise and fitness needs met.
i just finished reading an article about this guy and his workout. awesome how he gets better results from having fun outdoors than going to the gym all week.
Hi, great videos. Très bon esprit. And the philosophy around it.
some that stuff looked crazy to be doing!! but tbh it looks enjoyable & fun, as well as a proper good work out :) so its understandable you doing all that :) i like this a lot!
this is really impressive footage
@valgez I went to Erwan's workshop. He is not wasting his time. As a matter of fact, people from NASA were crowding in to hear his lecture. Only the people who continue to stay close minded and scared to do something different than what they do everyday are the ones who will not evolve into something better. I truly enjoyed his workshop, and every muscle in my body hurt for a few days after. Not just one or two muscles like when I went to the gym. I mean EVERY muscle. Erwan, keep it up!!!
Fantastic video. Regards from Brazil
Wow thats waht i need just by watching this vid my boring life starts to make sense.
Totally Awsome video. Inspirational on so many levels. I am a barefoot runner & have people ask me why I'd put my body through all of these things. I call it cross training. The reply I get is "why not just go to the gym, you could get hurt doing these things." I just smile.
It's a dream of long,long time ago..i was used to do similar thing where i lived,in the woods(but ther's no sea..only little rivers and torrents) liked to felt like Tarzan of the Jungle ;)
One of the beautiful video i've seen, thank you
Wonderful! Inspiring! I always hated sports, to do or watch - most Americans think I'm crazy. I've been completely sedentary and inactive for years. Was recently in the Sierra Nevada mountains with my son - climbed over huge rocks, crab-walked down steep mountain to keep from falling, balanced on logs to cross streams, hiked, climbed to the top of a 610 ft. waterfall - LOVED IT ALL! After seeing your videos, now I see why. I am a 64 yr. old female. Thanks! I'll try to find a workshop.
I need to move to Corsica Island. Beautiful.
i like the concept and see the benefits over the generic gym training which has me bored. i look forward to using some ideas on my farm when i get back there. growing up in a rural setting these are movements that are second nature and done without thought. erwan come to our farm in zambia, you can do some serious hardcore stuff there with this concept. great vid by the way.
he accomplishes goals only simply by fighting the demons within. movement serves as a roadmap to tackle this goal.
@anishtheone
Music: Tryad
"Waltz into the moonlight" and "I see".
We offer this type of training on the Charles River in Boston and my friend Skye has practiced this for years...I think Erwan is his long lost brother...SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice video. thanks for posting.
@AmericanSD It depends on the gym and what you learn or train there. From a coaching perspective it can be very useful to have a special place for training purpose, especially when it comes to unfit people for which scalability is crucial in regard of incremental progress, confidence and safety.
What the hell is that? This is the best video i have ever seen. BIG RESPEKT!!!!!
I like to go to this places!
OK first off...AWESOME! Second off...WTF DOES THAT GUY EAT...GRASS-FED ROCKET FUEL?
prob a paleo sort of nutrition
Whoefood plant based
HAHAHA!!! I love that!!!
Wow! That is superb, what a great demonstration of natural and functional fitness. By the way who is the music by? Great tracks. -glideascope
Great video.
Thanks for a quick answer!
I knew that this type of movement, natural movement is missing from modern life and its about our natural instinct to run free and make full use of these arms and legs and body. Then I found that youve put the idea into practice. Incredible. I want to participate
I definitely believe that a MovNat approach to daily training would benefit everyone.
A friend of mine, and myself, found generic gyms to be quite monotonous, and started doing some simple parkour both in urban environments, and in forests and other places that are unscathed by industry.
It has definitely improved my view on exercise.
You got a like as soon as I heard Tryad!!
Basically, we can change our culture in a constructive manner at many levels, I believe in that, and I sincerely see the development of MovNat as a positive contribution to this emerging paradigm that holds the potential to change the world and change our lives.
I think he was talking about the locations in the video - they're very nice!
Of course one could do this kind of training just about anywhere...
