STOP PRESS: MovNat (Erwan Le Corre) Comes to the UK

This is a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

Erwan Le Corre - the originator of the MovNat approach to fitness - is coming to do a special one day workshop in my city of Edinburgh here in Scotland.   I interviewed Erwan almost two years ago and that interview has been one of the most popular pages on my site (the interview is here).  Since then Erwan's profile has grown and grown and he is increasingly recognised as an innovative leader and thinker in the field of natural movement  (even being invited to speak at NASA). Erwan talked alot about that and indeed about the philosophy behind his approach in my interview but suffice to say it is not about 10 reps of this or 100 reps of that but a way of thinking about how we live in this environment.



Anyway, my friend Rannoch of Simple Strength (interviewed here) has  managed to get Erwan to pay a visit to the UK for a one off, one day workshop in Edinburgh on Saturday 4 December 2010.  The event is being held in the gym where I train Krav Maga - the Combat Ready Academy.

If you are in other parts of the UK or Europe, Edinburgh is easy to get to by train or plane (I was in London for a day this week and it is not as far as you might think) so don't let distance be an excuse.  There is loads of decent accommodation here too.  This is a great opportunity to hear from a fantastic thinker.

BETTER NEWS - DISCOUNT FOR CONDITIONING RESEARCH READERS!

Erwan has been kind enough to agree a special discount for readers of this blog.  You can book your place on the workshop via this page:  One Day MovNat Fundamentals Clinic in Edinburgh with Erwan Le Corre

There is a special discount for readers of this blog, valid until 30 days before the event.  The
 code to enter for a £10 discount is:  conditioningresearch

I wll be going - I hope to see you there!

Richard Niokley and Robb Wolf recently attended a week long camp with Erwan.  Robb writes about it here and Richard covered his experiences here.

Dry January

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was taking part in "Dry January".  I didn't make a big song and dance about it, but I decided to go for a calendar month or so with no alcohol.  A few people have asked me about my experience, so here are a few points. Why take a break from drinking? Alcohol is an interesting topic.  As a drug it is widely accepted in society, central to so much of our socialising and leisure.  There seem to be lots of health benefits - so we are told - yet there are also a lot of problems in terms of health, relationships and lifestyle that come from drinking. Over a few years I'd begun to become aware and then concerned that I was drinking too much and too regularly.  I am in a busy and stressful job and sometimes a glass of wine after work to relax is really helpful.  But over time, one glass became two.  Two glasses became ....I might as well finish the bottle.  A habit got established....and was starting to get too e...

So where have I been?

You will have noticed that this blog has been quiet for a while....  There are a few reasons for that, reasons that I thought I'd list here: WORK -  my day job has been incredibly busy and stressful this year. Working 10-14 hour days the last thing on my mind when I got home was putting something on here.  FACEBOOK/TWITTER - I suppose I've been using other channels to do some of what I used to do here. Quick fire posts pointing to interesting studies or news etc tend to get posted to Twitter (@chrishighcock) or to the Facebook Hillfit group http://www.facebook.com/groups/263083947097000/  REASSESSMENT - I've found myself less comfortable with some of the positions I've taken in the past. Sometimes I'm embarrassed by some of the things I've promoted. I'm not Paleo or low carb. I think Tabata and intervals are misunderstood and misapplied. I cannot really claim to be HIT.   I find myselfunable  honestly to post things on here and pretend that I am some sort o...

Taking up space for a brief update

I've a couple of posts in draft that I will get up soon -  an update / reflection on Dry January and some thoughts on the scheduling benefits of short workouts if your life is busy.  Before that though, I am pointing to something else. However, I wanted to highlight something that is coming this weekend that I've been involved in.   Amber Rogers (Gokaleo and author of Taking Up Space ) has been pulling together a bundle of books from various authors with a common theme, one that I've been pushing here recently.   Keep it simple, avoid the hype, be patient, be consistent and flee the gurus.   I've talked before about how we get obsessed with pushing for more and more, when enough is OK.  I've given my view that so much of the health and fitness internet world is more like a gnostic religion than something that will benefit your life. There are other voices out there saying similar things and I'll be pointing to a bundle of books later this week ...
