What IS the difference between exercises and functional movements? A while ago I did a video on why I though pull-ups weren’t a functional movement and from comments I’ve received, I’m not sure I did the best job explaining my point. So I thought I’d take a broader approach and cover the question in general. So in this video I’ll cover what I consider to be an exercise and what I consider a functional movement. And I’ll also talk about the differences between the two. Also remember, this is my opinion based on my years of experience, research, and training. No one has the final word on what a functional movement is or isn’t. I’d love to hear your perspective in the comments below! Thanks for watching.

I'm finally doing it! I've wanted to for a long time. I'm doing the Wim Hof 10 week course! I want to share the experience though. So here's day 1 of the Wim Hof 10-week course! I have tons of experience in cold water so I'm really excited to see how cold water after the breathing exercises compares to what I'm used to. My normal experience with cold water is you just have to suck it up and eventually your body mostly adjusts. To make this course extra exciting, I've just moved to Colorado so I'm kicking this off in the wintertime in the mountains. I'm expecting the first cold shower to be shockingly cold! If you're interested in the Wim Hof method or his online courses this is only the first video over the length of this 10-week course. I'll share the whole experience as I go along. I'm sure there will be some laughs, but I hope it helps you decide if the Wim Hof 10 week course is right for you or not!
