What comes to your mind when your hear about HOLISTIC FITNESS?

[Panteranegra]

Hey guys!

I am doing some introspection about the concept of holism and fitness. What do you think holistic fitness is?

When I am talking about fitness I am mostly talking about developing you athletic skills (strength, agility, power, endurance, etc) and getting a greater body composition, building muscle and burning fat.

How would you apply the concept of holism into fitness? 

Also, most Fitness mainstream content have a materialistic worldview (related to Stage Orange ) so how does fitness would look like for Yellow and Turquoise? For example, yoga/asanas are a good example of Stage Green.

Frank Yang is integrating meditative and contemplative work with strength training. Might be worth to book some sessions with him and pick his brain.

I think Chris Duffin could be considered yellow.

I think Frank has only done DMT like two times? He’s not a big psychedelic guy. He preaches much more doing meditative/insight practices.

In regards to what I think of when I hear holistic fitness is Paul Chek.

I was a personal trainer for 5 years and developed lots of wisdom with regards to health/fitness. I can say Paul is the most holistic guy I’ve come across

I don't particularly resonate with Ido portal philosophy. I am not saying is great I just think is not holistic enough. For example, I think it's ideal when you combine bodyweight training + weight training and some other athletic movements.
Also, I enjoy more doing yoga asanas than mobility/animal flow workouts. Also, asanas have more potencial to awaken your kundalini (i had this experience with asanas).

Anyways thanks.

Interesting I did not know about this guy. Wish the chart is clearer.

What's your Ken's favorite book?

I think of Ido Portal, Peter Ralston, and somatic therapists.

I think general fitness is great. However, I think people can come to see the body as just a tool of the mind, and not something to be cared for, looked after, and have a positive relationship built with. 

Here some ido portal:

Here is a somatic therapist called Peter Levine:

I like him he talks a lot about what stuff actually is I bought his book also I am not done reading and implementing it.

I've done some parts of integral courses that include health topcis, this goes deeper in general for a cleaner channel of information. I dunno what else to share at integral for example I learned how mindfulness is applied to eating/dieting/training/my pallet/ how I eat etc. Then something like Peter Ralston or Paul Check are more teaching from an embodied living of consciouness as well as Paul Check teaches more about health/food/diet etc. I like his approach for example I did not know I increase my level of "fungual (negative) activity" when I receive a narcoses, IIRC because vaccine has a strong effect etc.

I can recommend his book as a beginner as it's focused on concepts and goals and creating a health vision. Not technical mumbo-jumbo ( which is interesting etc) of how much vitamin c,d,e and B12 I have to take etc. For example he explains how different cultures/civilizations rather have developed their pallet and there are trends for example people living near the equator ate more vegetable food and depending on genetics etc. You can also have a preference I am very flexible for example I can eat according to him everything, easiest to feed hardest to train was his analogy. As I am not an equator type person etc. So I liked this also I generally see seldom holistic health practicionars talk about gene health. I don't even know if that is possible, because of epigenetics but okay. I am also still new to this, as I can't really practice due to injury.

He is around Orange-green and Green-yellow at times , his content is so aspirational one. 

Combines many modalities
