Jen and I have been working our asses off these days. But at the same time we have a much better balance. We hold space for each other. We seek to serve each other. We root in to our values. As a result, our family is stable and the community around us is full of extraordinary people. Not everyone wants kids - I get that. And I don’t think everyone should have kids. But if you’re not building something to change the world you usually have time to work on yourself. There’s no excuse anymore with AI at our finger tips. And if you are able to get results with yourself, you should be having kids. #functionalpatterns #functionalrelationships #functionalkids
After a year of roughin' it, l've finally settled fully into two home bases to practice @functionalpatterns out of. Thank you to @junglemat.cr and @thebitcoinjungle for providing two amazing spaces for me to train out of. I'm officially fully booked with privates and I'm now in building mode. The best way to train with me is by joining my Unlimited Virtual Group Class Membership. The link for that is in my bio. It's worth a look👌 #functionalpatterns #gratitude #healthy
Joint pain and exercise don’t have to go together! If movement is organized properly, tension and pressure distribute across the whole body instead of getting dumped into isolated joints. That’s what makes training feel smooth, sustainable, and actually build strength without breaking you down. If you’re feeling pain when you exercise - it’s not normal it’s a structural issue. Focus on improving the FP First 4 (standing, walking, running, and throwing) and you can train consistently without beating up your joints. #functionalpatterns #painfreejoints

Functional Patterns practitioners use traditional fitness equipment sometimes too - we just use it very differently than how it is traditionally used. Join me on April 26th @ 8am Costa Rica time for an Equipment Class featuring barbells and weight plates. Trust me, we’re going deep FP on this one. #functionalpatterns #fitnessequipment #weightlifting

The space is functional! Thank you @ernestofallas 🙏 #functionalpatterns
Not all movement is medicine. You can move in ways that actually make you worse over time. If the way you're training reinforces compensation, you're building maladaptations that make movement less efficient, not more. Most people don't even consider this. They just assume that because they're exercising, they're improving. Meanwhile they're increasing their risk of injury, dealing with more fatigue, and slowly losing the ability to move well. Movement only works in your favor when it's organized correctly. If it's not, you're just practicing dysfunction. #functionalpatterns
Most people don’t need to add more to their training, they need to take things out. If your structure is off, continuing to do the same exercises will just reinforce the same problems. That’s where the movement elimination protocol comes in. Instead of layering more on top, you remove the inputs that are driving compensation, excessive compression, or instability. By eliminating what’s not serving you, you give your body the chance to reorganize. From there, you focus on fundamental movements like standing, walking, running, and throwing to rebuild coordination and improve how force moves through your system. Once your structure improves, you can add things back in. The difference is now your body can actually handle them without breaking down. #functionalpatterns #movementeliminationprotocol
