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.

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:

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know by now that I’m a huge fan of natural movement expert Erwan Le Corre.

Deciding to make changes in life is never an easy decision to make, and following through can be even harder. What holds people back from achieving their fitness goals?

How hard can it be? Well, now that I’m EXPERIENCED, it’s not hard at all. And I got plenty of experience last Christmas making my first medicine ball, and if you haven’t read my post on that particular gem of an evening, I suggest you do it right now. It’s worth the effort and you’ll learn everything not to do in the meantime.

This weekend, Erwan Le Corre was in town to do two one-day MovNat seminars in Oakville at Total Balance Fitness. Having had the opportunity to train with Erwan in West Virginia this summer, I was anxious to see how he would train and coach in an indoor environment. After all, I had collected enough scratches, scrapes and thorns in West Virginia to completely associate natural movement with nature in the raw. How do you take that experience inside?
