The Two Things Your Body Needs
Samantha Faulhaber Remember these and you basically have the avenue to helping anything your body has going on. Your tissues are effectively seeking out two things for healing: Electricity and hydration.

Problem Solving: Roots or Environment?
Samantha Faulhaber It seems to me that there are at least two most effective, general routes towards healing people in productive ways.

Vispassana Crossover
Samantha Faulhaber Quickly let’s mention that I’ve been working on myself for years. I took one ten-day course, and you’re not going to magically implement and feel the same ways after reading this. Sorry to disappoint. Which is a great jumping off point! Vipassana meditation attempts to get you to a place where you […]
Creating Workouts Beyond Templates
Samantha Faulhaber How to navigate a new workout plan you’re developing yourself, via my own personal experience: 1. Be Creative. Decide what kind of energy or trait you’re trying to create. Is it stamina? Is it speed? Power? Whatever it is, the type of feeling you’re trying to create will be tied into something […]
Contrast Brings Perception
Sam Faulhaber I am reallllly more interested in solving problems than I am with the problems themselves. Which sounds kinda dumb now that I’m typing it. Lemme explain. So many things are solutions you didn’t have any idea would solve your problems, so you might not associate them with the problems you’ve identified in […]

Unconscious Coupling
Samantha Faulhaber View this post on Instagram @mvmnt_gym Ryan Egan was (I think) the first person to draw my attention to how more people than you’d think have an unconscious link between knee flexion and hip flexion. . .

Progressive Load Applied to Everything
Samantha Faulhaber If you want to get stronger, you might lift things up and put them back down again. How do you determine how much to lift up, and how often? In the most general terms possible, you lift up stuff you can handle without hurting yourself. Then you wait until you’ve healed up from […]
