Play, Laugh, & Sweat
June 20, 2012
Engaging in fun-filled activites makes you laugh and smile:) These feelings of joy are a result of connecting with your inner child. Spilling your joy and fun-loving energy onto others through some form of play creates an abundance of laughter and good feelings.
Here’s a suggestion: Get a group of friends, tell them to bring their friends and TOGETHER conduct something childlike and spontaneous– hiking, ultimate frisbee, swim the beach, kickball, or a simple game of tag. Connect with the little kid inside you and laugh, play, and sweat recklessly. You’ll find that it’s contagious and spreads fast.
Interacting with the people close to you through play and laughter creates real pleasures in our lives. Play will restore and establish a positive state of mind and connection to the real YOU. Now a day’s our lives are mapped out with serious objectives, we sometimes lose contact with our 7 year-young selves. We need feelings of joy that play gives us. Without play, we lack the spontaneity and adventurous mindset we once used regularly, we become less creative and we lose the initiative to solve problems on our own. It’s healthy that we stay connected with our inner child, especially as we grow older. Play keeps us present and our daily concerns behind for a healthier and more pleasurable life.
Play builds character and rapport with others by sharing good vibes through our senses. Get outside and re-discover the carefree spirit of your inner child through PLAY!

I almost sustained serious injury today jumping from tree to tree about fifteen feet off the ground in the woods at a nature preserve in Gainesville, FL. It had been raining and my grip couldn’t handle the wet tree bark on impact when I tried to secure myself and land the jump. Thanks to Brandon Sewall and Primitive Movement – I didn’t fall awkwardly and get injured, instead I instinctually focused on landing balanced, with a slight bend in the knees into a forward roll to break the fall. Luckily it worked out and I just popped up and kept moving unscathed. This is proof that with practice and focus, his approach builds a smart body and instinctual behaviors that will help one react to all of life’s everyday surprises. Whether you’re falling from a tree or about to get hit buy a bus in New York City, training with Brandon will equip you with the tools to build a strong intelligent body that will help you in lifes unexpected situations. Thank you Brandon and Primitive Movement. #primalallday

Tony / Matt This stuff really is a game chaengr for me. One of my buddies did a similar thing and dropped 17lbs and is still going. For a person coming from a standard American diet, there is great potential in not only weight loss, but also in overall health. For me, I became convinced by reading The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf. Excellent book that outlines science nerd stuff and also keeps it practical and light. If you’re really itching to dive in, I’d take a look at that book. Of course Sisson’s book on Primal is an excellent source of info as well. The only thing I struggle with is eating enough carbs..Lots of veggies and a bit more fruit than Wolf would recommend, but I’m noticeably tired if I don’t eat enough carbs. Shakeology has helped this as well since switching to a more Primal approach.
