Rest Day

Here is a video from MovNat (Methode Naturelle), a site we stumbled across online. This video and the philosophy of MovNat is everything that we believe in at Rip City Fitness. We are constantly brainstorming ideas and coming up with new programs that will help us and our clients achieve this sort of natural, primal fitness. Enjoy~

Rest Day

We stumbled upon this guy who calls himself "Methusela" and has two blogs. One is called Pay Now, Live later and the other is Train Now, Live Later. He puts together some awesome videos that perfectly portray what we have been preaching to you the last few months. It's not just about a Paleolithic diet, it's also about moving the way the we are meant to move. Here is Part 1 of a two part series called "Paleo In a Nutshell". Enjoy!
