Paul Chek, Bulletproofbodies & Cross-Fit

"There is no such thing as a bad exercise or exercise system. 

There are only incorrectly prescribed exercises and exercise systems."

Paul Chek

                      

In case you don't know, Paul Chek popularised Functional Movement and challenged the Body Building Gym culture of the 90's.

The Chek Institute is concerned with Holistic health and not just Functional Training.

He uses his 4 Doctors analogy which is brilliant. 

The last 4 Doctors you will ever need:

Dr Happiness - AIR - What do you want from CrossFit?

Dr Movement - FIRE - Are you over training?

Dr Diet - EARTH - Are you eating correctly?

Dr Quiet - WATER - Are you rehydrating and resting enough?

We put all these in the Couldren of Consciousness which contains many ingredients and requires some alchemy: 

Planning

Action

Celebration

Rest

Paul is not against CrossFit but he wants to make us aware of the challenge. Or as he calls it, “Trial by fire, baby.”

What Paul is highlighting is the significant risk that high intensity training may bring if you do not have adequate muscle flexibility, joint stability and baseline fitness

Are you ready for CrossFit? 

Are you prepared for CrossFit?

Are you scaling your workouts?

Are you maintaining good form when lifting?

Are you training through injury?

CrossFit replaces a primal need, that of significance, or proving yourself in society where you no longer have to prove anything.

Check out Paul's book - "How to eat, move and be healthy." 

I love Paul Chek and CrossFit and would recommend both to you, but only if you are ready for a trial by fire (baby)!

Paul Chek, the Bulletproofbodies team Salute you.
