In the world of fitness and exercise, of which I have been a part of for a long time, we are overwhelmed with exercises, classes, workout systems, machines, devices, sets, reps, weights, forms, styles and structures. The more evolved and intricate the fitness realm gets the further we seem to get away from simple, traditional and basic human movement. A few exercise trends, such as Movnat, Zumba, parkour and various martial arts, have been attempting to recapture the innate human body experience and are, not surprisingly, becoming very popular. People are starting to realize that structured, segmented and repetitive exercise is less than ideal while moving more intuitively and naturally is more functional, rewarding, habitual and (potentionally most importantly) simply more fun.
