Floor sitting, crawling and rolling are the three things a body learned first. Rolling is the one that keeps getting up off the floor possible at eighty. A plank roll turns the whole body at once because the spine stopped turning in segments. Lie flat, reach one arm across the body, let the head follow, then the ribs, then the hips. Five each way, morning and evening. Roll over and comment smooth or stuck. #movesmethod #floorwork #spinemobility #mobility #movementculture #rangeofmotion

Floor sitting starts with getting down, and the way down goes before the way back up. Four steps, done slowly, every evening. One, step one foot back into a half kneel. Two, lower the back knee. Three, sit to one side. Four, swing round to cross-legged. Then work back up the same way to stand. Save this and practise the way down. #movesmethod #floorsitting #mobility #getupchallenge #activeageing #jointhealth

Mobility routine gaps come down to five directions a gym programme never trains. Sideways, the side squat. Turning, the seated twist. Overhead, the wall reach. Down, the floor sit and stand. Across, the crawl. One minute each, every morning, and the four gym moves get five directions around them. Comment the direction missing this week. #movesmethod #mobility #movementculture #functionalmovement #antifragile #jointhealth
