Friday Thoughts 26
Happy Friday, here’s a gathering of post I deem worthy of sharing here. Enjoy!
I love this idea of just walking around instead of sitting when in an airport. Juliette expands on mandatory vs optional sitting here, something I first learned from the Starrett’s book, Deskbound. Michael Easter, who wrote Comfort Crisis, also talks about taking your bags and rucking through the airport to get some healthy, loaded movement in.
As soon as I saw this post I was like, it’s probably because her kid is inside napping. I have one of those treadmills, and I sometimes hate that I run on it instead of outside, especially when it’s nice outside, but then I remember I can run on that and not have to go anywhere. Or yesterday, I walked on it while Nolan was napping, even though an outside walk would have been more enjoyable.
Shoutout to GAIN member Robert who taught me this kb swing cue a few months ago.
I think these longest plank holds ever are literally the reason so many people are bad a planks. This is not a plank. Sure, toes and forearms, but that is not a productive shape of the body. Don’t mimic your planks off these silly world record attempts. Shorter, more intense planks with hips and ribs facing each other, shoulder blades engaged and big steady breaths is what you should be training for.
Thanks for reading!
