How to Deal with Exercise Anxiety and Stimulants | PFP Episode #4 Featuring Patrick Rittmon

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

Thank you for your time in putting these talks together 17 years into FP learning, I still get solid takeaways that help me along:)

[@HelenShalyavina]

So many examples around me - former gymnasts/figure skaters -> joint problems, yoga/vegans -> lost fertility and gained back pain, skiing -> torn acl, problems with eating habits -> kids end up with allergies etc. The list will be long. The peer pressure in the United States is very high, and not following the mainstream ideas may leave you with no friends, because the way you see and live the life doesn’t correlate with others at all, in any sense. And it’s a tough choice for each individual, to make different choice. I hope in 5-10 years the vector will switch and people will prioritize the function of their body, the quality of their meals, the quality time and conversations they have with friends. So many good core values and traditions were forgotten. Let’s revive them. Thank you for making the world a better place with sharing the knowledge!

I am that person that basically ruined my body via traditional weight training and yoga. This along with anxiety and stress got me into FP. I am fortunate to be able to train with Andrea Villalpando at FP San Diego. Great team of Rodney, Andrea and Alicia. FP is a complete system where I have to change bad habits and live a more true healthy life. Thanks for all you guys do.

[@kathyalvarez2297]

Everything is so clear and makes sense. Thank you for this information .

[@pertesergiu6139]

In order to sustain the results you have to develop the behaviours that are necesarry rather than rely on external stimulants. Thank you for the takeaway!

[@steviemenzies2198]

Excellent watch. Keep them coming

[@RafaelV123]

Necessary conversation, thanks for doing these 👍

[@0sanie]

Thanks for the insight guys. Great podcast. Had similar experiences mentioning FP to teammates , approach now is more sharing my understanding and not try to come off as imposing

[@stevennaumovski8477]

Great video Thank you for the relevant information #fpallday

„Supposed to feel“ I found this a very interesting topic. Is there something we are supposed to feel? How do we know someone feeling something we are telling them is the same feeling we are talking about? How do we know if what we think is the right feeling for someone is really right for them? Is telling someone what he/she should be feeling hindering them to gain the self awareness of what helps them and what doesn’t (making them dependent on us) ? Just some questions to provoke thought.

[@theaustintylerfamilyhour]

very postmodern of you. deep down we all know we are supposed to feel good and move without pain, and we know if we're living up to our potential (what we 'should' feel or not). if modern life so divorces people from that they lose awareness of their potential as humans, that doesn't mean it's not still there telling someone what they could feel is reconnecting them to their nature not forcing some ideology that makes them dependent on you. that natural human movement is so far removed from mainstream should tell you something

[@moritji6090]

First of all I didn’t state my beliefs, I just asked some questions. I too believe that people should have the ability to move pain free and that current training / therapy paradigms often fall short of getting results. You didn’t however really try to answer any of my questions. Telling someone what they should feel can definitely increase self awareness. I see a problem when we tell our clients again and again what they should do without giving them room to figure stuff out themselves and also noticing what feels good and regenerating to them so that they will not forever be dependent on us to tell them what is.

[@BrunoRodrigues-fw9ri]

Wouldn’t be great to see Mike on huberman one day. Ahhh, one can dream.

[@michaelrobertson7650]

He would need to produce some form of research to review lol.😂

[@BrunoRodrigues-fw9ri]

@@michaelrobertson7650 wouldn't Huberman experiencing the FP method, learning the perspective the FP guys have and understanding how they get their results be just as good as reviewing research? I'd argue probably better since he'd experience it first hand.

[@matesdantesable]

Thanks to guy who did the sound 😉.

[@Shojushoju]

Does @functionalpatterns improve flexibility? Especially to be able to throw high kicks in martial arts?

[@leonardoalzate6199]

Yep, everything bro the do it all. 😂

[@NaylonNYC]

Professional basketball player? He’s on the “South Bay Flash” whoever the …. that is. FP can’t even find a G-leaguer to use their method smh.

[@dalabu489]

And what about Kyle Dake? He is using FP and is one of the best wrestlers in the world

[@NaylonNYC]

@@dalabu489KD was world class long before he joined the FP clown show.

[@dalabu489]

@@NaylonNYC But why he joined to FP? How is it possible that he worked with S&C coaches, physical therapist etc and at the end he had to give a try to FP?

[@Aedonius]

"haven't done any squatting" as he sits in a chair that requires him to squat to use Never stop squatting. It's the most important movement for longevity. The default state for humans now is to end up in a nursing home and require a literal little crane to get out of bed. Just don't be dogmatic and throw away time tested workouts because you are now an "fp bro"

[@mainsourcery]

😂😂 squatting to sit down in a chair is an excuse to put a barbell on your neck? Like what the children say, you’re “reaching”. Squats are a derivative function of gait, so it’s not on the hierarchy of functions as it relates to getting from point A to B. If it’s “the most important movement for longevity”, why aren’t there results of people’s structural frame & gait improving? What do humans do most, squat or walk/run?

[@spacec0wboy94]

You’re really reaching on this one bro 😂 the dudes sitting down in a chair, not putting 300lbs on his neck

[@RafaelV123]

My squatting, as in a body weight squat, has actually improved by doing FP. What they prioritize basically reorganizes the body in a way that squatting becomes easier and feels more like a controlled muscular action of pulling yourself down to the floor and then pushing up vs plopping down and up. This is apparently common with people who do FP....so your assumption that FP ignores squatting or that people will lose their ability to squat because they do FP is completely inaccurate. What FP doesn't advise, or do, is squatting with a barbell loaded on your back/front.

[@rahuldhyani9698]

If you can move well will sitting down a big task for anyone it is something I know up till now what you think about it

[@Aedonius]

If you're on your own hunting and kill a moose, buck, or bison how do you get it back without throwing hundreds of pounds over your back and walking potentially miles? you guys are completely lost. our ancestors for thousands of years survived by squatting heavy shit@@RafaelV123 there's a reason why our body gets better at squatting the more we do it... because it was a necessary movement for survival by the way, I Never once mentioned barbell squatting. I was merely critiquing the never squatting comment
