Functional training enhances your ability to perform everyday activities by focusing on movements that mimic real-life actions. This post highlights three key components: the Oblique Sling System, Lateral Line Training, and Glute Loading. Even on tough days, small adjustments can lead to significant progress. Oblique Sling System The Oblique Sling System involves the oblique muscles…
Walking offers countless benefits that make it one of the best low-impact exercises you can do. Here’s why you should start walking more: So, what are you waiting for? No excuses—get up off your ass and start walking! It’s one of the most functional things you can do because we are bipedal, contralateral, reciprocating beings!…
In human movement, “coiling” refers to the action of twisting or rotating the body to create tension, much like winding up a spring. This coiling movement usually involves the torso and spine, where the body rotates along the spine’s axis while maintaining stability in the hips or legs. Coiling is often seen in athletic movements…
Can correct breathing create spinal decompression? Well yes, yes it can! By focusing on proper breathing techniques, you can help relieve tension in the spine and promote decompression. This works by engaging the body’s natural tensegrity structure, where breath control and fascial connections play a key role in maintaining posture and reducing pressure on the…
Push-ups are a decent exercise. While they won’t exactly “fix” anything, if done a certain way, they can be a useful tool for maintaining the bare minimum tensions needed to uphold some kind of structural integrity. Plus, they are very scalable. Here’s one of the ways I suggest doing them: Bonus: Use your knuckles instead…

This is a rather difficult exercise. I’d rate my performance a 6.3/10—lots of disconnections, fascia leakage, and generally not enough tension. But the goal is always to get better. I’m constantly striving for progress, so when I reach an advanced age, I’ll be good as rain. That’s the plan. What I do for myself now…
In the context of human movement, “spirals” refer to the natural, three-dimensional, spiral-like patterns that occur in the body as it moves through space. These spiral movements are deeply rooted in biomechanics and reflect the way muscles, joints, and the fascial system (connective tissues) work together to produce fluid, efficient motion. Key Aspects of Spiral…
When the body functions as one integrated system in terms of movement, several key benefits come into play. Coordinating all parts of the body results in better efficiency, stability, and overall performance. Here’s why this is important: 1. Improved Efficiency When the body moves fluidly and efficiently, all parts work together in coordination. This minimizes…
Functional training guarantees longevity, health, and effortless movement. Everything is fine and dandy when we are young, but we should consider what happens to us at a later stage. Integrating the movement and breathing systems is the way to go—the natural evolution of training. When one achieves these connections, so to speak, and the body…
