In life there is a thing called progression. A process of continued improvement, starting from a basic level, breaking into a moderate level and then onto an advanced level.
We all understand this especially if you’ve ever been in a situation where you haven’t built skill in an area and had to go head to head against someone with skills in that area. It’s called getting ahead of yourself, and it seems that most seeking to attain physical health are oblivious to this concept.
If a 10 year old child decided he or she wanted to become president of the US would you vote for them? No because you understand that child had no life experience that would make them a great leader. The child has steps to take before it can begin to understand the intricacies of human life and learn how to lead people.
The same goes with addressing your physical health. Humans evolved to stand, walk, run and throw as their primary functions. What we are simply saying is that if your posture is not optimal, you can’t walk/run without having pains in your knees, hip and back or throw without pain in your elbow or shoulder, then you should probably reconsider skipping ahead to loading up your spine with weight and squatting. You may be causing more problems than you think if you go down this path.
The idea here is not to skip steps with your health. At FP we focus on putting one foot in front of the other. We help humans build solid foundations with their structures which gives them the opportunity for greater variability in their movement down the track. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Just sayin’.
