In this video, I go on a journey through the mechanics and benefits of movement with Les Raymond.
Whether it is good posture, aging with strength, the generation of power through a transfer of force or just the logistics of how one gets out of a chair, Les is fascinating and stimulates thought that turn into action. He has a philosophy of exercise that is rooted in our bodies innate movement patterns. Here they are categorized into crawling, rolling, walking, squatting and hinging. While talking to him, I found myself looking at my workouts in a more methodical way that would help my exercise habits feed my everyday biomechanics. My body has become more of a generator of forces. So, here Less massages the intellect and the physical body with his knowledge.
Besides owning a large gym, he and his wife are the founders of The Mindful Movement. Together, they have been in the movement field, collectively for over 30 years. Their Youtube channel is quickly approaching 700K subscribers.
They founded The Mindful Movement in August of 2016 because of their passionate about helping others grow and live mindful, fulfilled lives. Les and his wife have experienced profound growth and fulfillment in living a mindful lifestyle. Together they help others live a more mindful life, deepening their awareness and sense of gratitude. They strive to inspire others to live authentically with love and abundance.
