Athletics & Acrobatics
Science based, human designed movement training
Movement is hard
The first time I did a backflip on hard ground, I exploded my ankle. I just wasn’t strong enough to handle that force.
Heavy landings, powerful takeoffs and fast changes of body position are the meat and potatoes of movement.
But without adequate athleticism, even basic movements are liable to harm the body and limit the sense of safety and confidence that allows for exploration and play.
Athletics training
The Athletics & Acrobatics platform is designed to help you gain freedom of movement by meeting and exceeding the demands of movement.
This is primarily done by developing athleticism.
Your athleticism is defined by how much force you can produce (strength), how fast you can produce that force (speed) and your ability to change the direction of that force (agility).
This athleticism is developed through progressive resistance, speed and plyometrics training.
Acrobatic goals
Acrobatic goals provide a sense of meaning and purpose to the athletic training.
Each three month cohort will build towards specific movement goals, culminating in a two week skill acquisition phase.
This structure helps you to stay motivated and provides clarity about your intention.
Human design
The platform uses human design principles to support your motivation and consistency:
Choose between 3 and 5 days of training per week.
Select exercises that work for you.
Educational content to gain confidence in your training.
Receive frequent feedback through the community Discord.
Measure progress and self-regulate your training load.
Science based
Science tells us what doesn’t work, as much as what does work. It helps us figure out the least we need to do and the most we can do.
These insights help us to design safe, effective and flexible training programs.
Nutrition project
Anabolic systems control the growth of muscle, bone and tendon tissue, and even strongly affect our wellbeing.
The platforms shares an evidence-based template for you to build your own thyroid supporting nutrition, alongside reading material on how to protect and promote thyroid function.
