John, have a terrific time; I can’t wait to hear about your experiences!
sounds great John!
Hey cool, I am looking forward to seeing how this goes for you. Keep us in the loop!
One of your most interesting posts! Fantastic stuff. I look forward to hearing your insights afterwards.
I got back early yesterday morning after a long week, that went by so fast!
My initial thoughts are that the seminar totally rocked :) – will get a review up on the site later.
Glad to hear it went well! I’m really looking forward to hearing more about it all:)
This video is incredible.
The concern I have with this is that this guy is already quite fit and has a great deal of endurance already if he’s able to dive so deep and stay in the water for so long.
I guess my question is that did he become fit by doing this type of workout? or did he become fit first (in a gym for example) then increased his fitness level by doing type of “natural workout”.
To be able to run barefeet like he did, especially in the forest, is challenging mentally and physically (I’ve been there) and it’s not for everybody.
So, I guess this type of stuff is really for people who to take their fitness to the next level.
I hope I explained myself properly!
Awaiting comments…

[...] days on end. I’ll admit that reading about MovNat gets me charged up (MovNat reading directory here). It resonates with me on a deep personal level, and I finish the article feeling inspired, [...]
Great stuff. It reminds me off the Jamaican movie Countryman.
Everytime I watched that movie I used to think, man I’d love to run like that!
There’s hope. By the way, just recently found your site and am really enjoying it.
Thanks!
