A little trip down memory lane... Foundation building with Foundation Training

This photo was taken July 22nd, 2018. My friend Andrew Alexander Johnson was teaching foundations training to a few of my GreenStrength tribe members.

I’ve managed to find the extremes in all niches of health and fitness. However I laugh a lot thinking about how hard it is to find that “extreme” in foundations training. The only extreme I can find is in the principles it stands on — time-tested ones that simply don’t break.

I believe everyone should have at least a 2 or 3 move foundations training routine they can decompress with — throughout the day, throughout the week, throughout life.

Spend your money how you like. But 99% of the time you’ve got a blank canvas to work on before you start buying all the answers

Play
Move
Eat real foods
Focus on sleep
Get that walk in each day
Hydrate well
EVERY SINGLE DAY!

This package is far more potent than any package the industry will sell you.

Everyone would probably be best served to just restart from scratch

Time to be a kid again. At least at heart and through play 😎

You watch a 30-second clip and immediately decide what kind of coach I am.

Powerlifters have an opinion.

Yoga instructors have an opinion.

Functional coaches have an opinion.

Physical therapists have an opinion.

Strength coaches have an opinion.

And that’s okay.

But let’s be honest...

Those opinions are usually based on social media post with almost no context.

I’ve lived in a lot of different worlds.

I’ve deadlifted 3.5 times my bodyweight.

I’ve run a sub-3-hour marathon.

I’ve competed at a high level in multiple strength sports, and martial arts.

I’ve spent decades chasing strength, endurance, performance, mobility, rehabilitation, and everything in between.

I’ve gone all in. To far in if I had to be honest…

What I’ve realized after all these years is this:

Every system has something to teach.

Every camp gets some things right.

Every camp also has blind spots.

That’s why my content today looks different than it did 10 or 15 years ago.

I’m not posting “soft” movements and “gentle” tips because I stopped believing in hard training.

I’m posting them because most people have forgotten the foundation that allows hard training to actually work.

We spend so much time arguing over methods that we skip the basics.

Can you breathe well?

Can you walk well?

Can you rotate?

Can you transfer your weight?

Can you create force without leaking it?

Can you recover?

Those questions matter far more than whether you’re holding a kettlebell, a barbell, or a yoga block.

So don’t try to put me in a camp.

I’m not interested in defending one system over another.

I’m interested in finding what stands the test of time.

After decades of training, coaching, competing, winning, losing, getting injured, and rebuilding...

I keep arriving at the same place.

Refine the basics.

Build a body with options.

Stay curious.

Keep moving.

The basics never stop working.

You want real health.

Real freedom.

Real change that carries over into every part of your life—not just how you look in the mirror?

Start by working on yourself.

The deep stuff.

The shadow work.

That’s where the real transformation begins.

As you become more aware of your thoughts, habits, reactions, and patterns, you begin to reinvent yourself from the inside out. That’s the kind of change that lasts because it isn’t built on motivation—it’s built on understanding.

And never forget the Dunning-Kruger effect.

It’s the idea that we often overestimate what we know because we don’t yet know what we don’t know.

We’ve all been there.

Me included.

The more I’ve learned over the years, the more I’ve realized how much there still is to learn.

That’s not weakness.

That’s humility.

Stay curious.

Stay teachable.

Stay open.

In the end, don’t lose yourself chasing every trend, shortcut, or shiny new idea.

Stay simple.

Stay basic.

Keep moving the big needles.

That’s where real health—and real growth—live.

Options are endless

This is the beauty of rope flow tbh

High value locomotive style spiraling practice of movement - that’s graded only by rhythm and timing

My point to this is sometimes it’s better to just move and breathe - this is the power and the place where “working in” becomes real, and needed

Movement gives us so much more than we often realize.

Strength.
Stability.
Accessibility.
Balance.
Confidence.
Mental health.
And so much more.

Over time, movement becomes a conversation between the mind and body. Every repetition, every walk, every lift, every breath is another opportunity to learn something about yourself.

As we age and stay consistent with training, one of the greatest skills we can develop is the ability to truly listen to our body.

Not every ache needs to be ignored.
Not every feeling needs to be feared.
But every sensation is information.

If you’ve been training for 20 years and never learned to understand what your body has been trying to tell you, you’ve missed one of the greatest lessons movement has to offer.

Training isn’t just about building a stronger body.

It’s about building a better relationship with the one you’ll live in for the rest of your life.

Do less. Get more.

Ironic, I know.

If you’re confused or curious about how this applies to your own training — slide into the DMs. Happy to break it down with you. 😎
