目前為止，我們的經驗是如果人類能掌握站、走、跑和投擲這4項基本動作，那麼之後學習任何其他動作都會變得容易許多。原因在於，這4種功能從生物力學的角度定義了我們為何身為人類。
然而，在現代生活中，人類已經遠離了生物本能，導致我們現在容易焦慮、虛弱、神經質、疼痛、脫水、生病、受傷、沮喪等。我的假設是，人類所面對的大部分健康問題都因為我們偏離了這些生物根源動作。
如果你所做的運動沒有建立在創造人類身體的連續動作序列之上，那麼反而會減弱我們原有的根基，然而，這僅解釋了「為什麼」要按照站、走、跑和投擲去訓練，理解到為什麼之後，要如何執行又是另外一回事了。
I have several disagreements with HOW influencers approach training, as well as the WHY behind their methods. Before I could truly get a grasp on how to fix problems with people, I needed a conceptual framework that would orient me to a path that would yield consistent outcomes. The @functionalpatterns First Four were what enabled me to know where to go with training.
My conclusions up until now are that if humans can master STANDING, WALKING, RUNNING, AND THROWING, every motion after that you choose to learn becomes substantially easier to master. The reason for that comes back to the fact that these four functions define us biomechanically.
In modern times, we have distorted ourselves away from our biological roots, consequently leading us to where we are now: anxious, weak, neurotic, in pain, dehydrated, sick, injured, depressed, etc. My hypothesis is that most conditions humans deal with are the byproduct of not getting back to these roots.
In application, if the exercises you do happen to not build on the sequential motions that created the human organism, they will act to counter to the roots of what make us who we were at our best. That said, this still only accounts for the why. The how after understanding the why is completely different.
I’ve been copied on the why for over a decade, and no one finds the formula. Why? That’s a story for another time.
