Last week I had the pleasure of appearing on the CP24 television show “Wylde on Health” with non-other than best-selling author Robb Wolf.  In fact Robb’s new book “The Paleo Solution” just made the New York Times bestseller list yesterday!  If you haven’t already, I can’t recommend the read highly enough.  Wolf has a way of making the scientific enjoyable, and you’ll end up with a thorough understanding of the “original human diet”.

Back on September 11th and 12th of 2010, the StrengthBox gym in Toronto hosted two one-day MovNat clincs in natural movement. Led by MovNat founder Erwan LeCorre, the clinics covered the fundamentals of natural movement training, spending time on both philosophy and actual physical practice.

Just as Erwan LeCorre predicted, I have mixed emotions about returning home. After spending five days at his MovNat Expansion course in West Virginia last week, I’m gratified to take a few rest days, heal my wounds and sleep in my own bed. Nevertheless, there’s another part of me that’s longing to be back at Sumersville Lake, with its unpredictable weather and rough terrain, facing more MovNat combo and course challenges. What an adventure.

As I’m sure you’re aware, kettlebells are hardly new to the fitness world. They have been used in Russia and Eastern Europe for over a hundred years, and some suggest they may have earlier roots that can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. It’s no wonder they’ve survived the ages: they are extremely versatile and effective for strength, size, endurance, explosive power, flexibility, balance and overall conditioning. No wonder that so many trainers are choosing to get certified as kettlebell instructors.

One of the most frequent questions I hear is “how long before I can see results”? The answer is usually not so crystal clear — people define results differently, and have far different expectations about what they can achieve. Most people focus on their physical appearance when they talk about success:

At the StrengthBox, the Eat REAL Challenge is well underway and all paleo-eating participants have been busy logging meals, charting progress and anticipating results. For many, part of the experience has involved a switch to higher-quality foods. Grass-fed beef, free-range eggs and organic vegetables are all encouraged over conventional counterparts.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out over the Easter long weekend to the StrengthBox Open House. It was great to see some good friends, meet some new ones, and get a chance to socialize in the gym over some paleo snacks and organic wine!

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know by now that I’m a huge fan of natural movement expert Erwan Le Corre. His inspiring YouTube Video “The Workout the World Forgot” and the Men’s Health article “A Wild Workout for the Real World” clearly demonstrate his primal philosophy and love of training in nature.
