When we lose the ability to squat, our quality of life changes drastically. If we squat more to begin with, we will have a longer time of mobility. Here is a song about it... =)
If you have not seen this viral video yet, of a disabled vet who changed his life through movement, now is the time.
One of my movement teachers, Aaron Cantor, is in this video by Ido Portal.
Ido Portal on Gymnastics, Motivation, Movement & More:
"I don't wait for inspiration to come...I inspire myself."
"Move it or lose it..and its gonna be a bad day when you lose it..."
I especially like what he says near the end about how to meet people on the streets...to play...with movement.
~~~One approach: Find out what the body does; not what you can make it do. From there, with ease, find the end of your range of motion, breathe there, push gently, discover even more possibility.
