TRY PLAYING TODAY!

  Remember when you were a kid , when you ran without calling it exercise, played till you were forced inside, did somersaults without calling it gymnastics, laughed without holding back , climbed without fear of fall. The older we grow , we fix ourselves into these preset definitions or maturity and order and seldom leave space for foreign experiences in our daily lives. 

 In the context of physical development , the boxes are bigger. Most people pick a specific sport or training method and in most cases tend to stick to that particular discipline throughout their training lifespan. 


 Specificity in itself is not the enemy as it is the surest method to maximal profit from the selected discipline or activity but the Lack of inquiry and exploration into other methodologies creates a vacuum needing filling as the years compound. 


 The body and brain are capable of absorbing so much information and actually thrive on learning new patterns and pathways. 


 Neural plasticity is an often overlooked factor in the reasons why we perform physical exercise related activities. Challenging your brain and body with new movement patterns are a staple for maintaining full cognitive function as we grow older . Neuron are constantly fired as the brain is constantly remolding to  forming new motor skills and reactions.


 Studies show that locomotion and strength training positively amplify neural plasticity and functionality , acting as a preventative and restorative measure for most aging related loss of ability. We’re all growing https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmv2bsJgmI8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=


  My favorite thing with movement training is the freedom of exploration, the pass to play , to reconnect to the childhood pathways of unrestricted conscious movement. 

 Play is an underrated resource for cognitive and physical development. 


 I guess what I’m saying is , try something new today , don’t take yourself too seriously, touch the floor , try to do dangerous things carefully, laugh out loud , move more and play seriously.

Nutrition 101.

  Firstly, nutrition generally describes the entire process of ingesting , digesting and absorbing of food produce which the body recycles for energy and Daily function . The class of food eaten , determines the nutrients which would be available to the body as different types of food provide different specific nutritional values which are necessary for the survival, growth and maintenance of the human organism.    Nutrition plays a supportive role in the process of muscle building and weight management creating an anabolic environment which promotes muscle growth and fat loss.

From sitting while driving to work to sitting at the office hunched over a computer to sitting to eat and everything in between , we find ourselves spending prolonged periods in seated positions. However, the human body is designed for movement, and excessive sitting has detrimental effects on our health and well-being. In contrast, incorporating more squats into our daily routines can provide a multitude of benefits. In this article, we explore why modern humans should prioritize sitting less and squatting more, both as an exercise and a resting position which is beneficial for improving physical fitness, posture, and overall health.  The Asian squat, also known as the deep squat, is a position commonly used in many Asian and indigenous communities for various activities such as resting, cooking, and even using the restroom. This simple yet powerful posture involves squatting ...

I Might be unto something

  This is my first blog post and I’m just gonna write . It’s taken me about 30 secs to write out the first sentence. I’m Godspower fortune ndubisi zeddicus( just call me zedd), currently a personal trainer and a movement artist ( been itching to use this tag 🤓 ). I’m writing this while working on handstands , just hit my first 20 seconds hold back to wall without touching the wall and I’m elated. I’ve been working on  getting a static handstands for a while and I can confirm they suck. Why can’t I just jump on my hands and hold like I watch is all these YouTube videos, i should’ve played more as a kid, my wrists fucking hurt, once I can hold this I’d be a god  😂  all these and more are the thoughts that swirl around my head almost every session.      I love to write but I also have a very fleeting attention span. I’m interested in a lot . I also partially blame fucking social media for the battered attention span plaguing the current generation ( me ...
