Testimonial: Primal Play Session at PaleoFX

 

 

It was a pleasure to meet you at PaleoFX, your training methods have really opened up my eyes to new possibilities. Going into the session I was very curious at how a session could be equally difficult for individuals who have a beginner fitness level and those who had an expert fitness level.After your one hour training session however it was clear that was the case.

With training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I get my fair share of time in the gym and usually dread having to go to another gym to get a workout in. So seeing the possibility of being able to incorporate a workout in daily tasks and activities is intriguing. I can not wait to read your book and discover more ways to incorporate this style of "play" into my workouts. Thanks again, look forward to meeting you again.

Video: Health, Activity and Primal Play Presentation at AHS 14

Abstract: If exercise came in pill form, we would only be too eager to take our keep-fit medicine. Even small doses extend longevity and prevent disease. Recent studies tell us that exercise reduces all-cause mortality risk, reduces cardiovascular related events, as well as warding off chronic lifestyle conditions such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer.

Even though most of us are aware that physical exercise is important, we are not aware of the sheer extent of its benefits and many of us do not do enough of it. It will be proposed that the lack of activity is more detrimental to long-term health than more recognizable risk factors.
