This would make a great treehouse!
The Wall Street Journal had a great article today about a guy who works out in Central Park sans equipment, opting for a more natural workout using the park's surroundings. Sound familiar?
More specifically, Mr. Taylor of the article does a MovNat inspired workout, inspired by the founder Erwan Le Corre. I got to meet Mr. Le Corre last year at an impromptu barefoot running session in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge. I remember a small group of us running around the Bridge without shirts on, attracting the attention of tourists and locals alike. It was badass, if you ask me.
MovNat uses nature as your gym. Trees become ladders. Branches become pullup bars. Rocks become medicine balls. And on and on. I'd love to go to a MovNat clinic, but it comes with a steep price tag (plus, I could never ditch my loyal boot campers for a whole week!)
Anyhoo, the article talks about Mr. Taylor's typical workouts, and it also discusses various minimalist shoe options, like Vibram Five Fingers and the New Balance Minimus. I wish the author had done more research and excluded the Nike Free and the Reebok RealFlex. Both of those shoes have a high heel drop and are not flexible by minimalist standards.
If you're looking to get in awesome shape outdoors and use Central Park as your gym, try a Barefoot Benny Boot Camp today!
