Methode Naturelle

After discovering Evolutionary Psychology (EP) in 1998, it was a natural progression to Evolutionary Fitness. This was not a term original to me, but a term nonetheless that I deduced from EP's concept of the mismatch between modern and ancestral environments and the resulting implications. What psychological implications this mismatch has also holds true physically. I began researching how to bridge the gap between modern and ancestral movement patterns. The latest discovery to grab my attention is the work done by Georges Hebert. A French Naval officer that developed an approach to physical fitness that he called Methode Naturelle, or natural movement. Currently, Erwan Le Corre continues Hebert's philosophy in his MovNat or Movement Naturelle: "Be strong to be useful" -- by focusing on 10 essential skills: walking, running, jumping, walking on all fours, climbing, balancing, throwing, lifting, defending, and swimming. More on this to come.
