Perfectly Paleo Exercise: Training Transformation on a Low Carb High Fat Diet
By Jay Bowers, Bowers Jane and Schreurs Megan

About this ebook
The Paleo, Ancestral or Low Carb High Fat diet are all variations on a theme: a diet that mimics the nutrition of our hunter-gatherer forebears. A natural diet, consisting of foods found in nature- grass fed meat and game, seafood that is not farmed, free-range eggs, good fats like coconut oil and pastured butter, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and spices and herbs.
Foods, in short, as God made them! The Paleo smoothie described here makes eating these real foods easy to incorporate into your diet on a daily basis!
What the Paleo diet does NOT consist of defines it even more: MAN made foods, like genetically modified grains, processed foods, refined sugars and corn syrup, soy products, industrial seed oils like margarine and soybean oil- you get the idea! These are foods engineered by MAN, and not at all what we are really meant to eat and THRIVE on.
What this book really focuses on, however, is on natural, paleo-types of exercises- visualized resistance, self-resistance, bodyweight exercises-
ALL THAT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET HEALTHY AND STRONG-
Naturally, and without need for a gym membership or expensive machines, or huge racks of weights that build "bulk", and only build fitness itself as a sometimes byproduct.
The exercises are explained, and demonstrated via links to videos that make it easy to do yourself. With these exercises, and by eating a natural paleo diet,
incredible health and vitality can be yours!
There are dozens of Paleo types of recipe books out now...many are valuable.
But in terms of exercise, the default has been to "lift heavy weights" in the Paleo community. This book addresses that deficiency in paleo methodology, and gives an alternative that is not only healthier, but more efficient in producing a natural, symmetrical, healthy physique for men and women of all ages!

TRAIN LIKE A CAT!
But, whenever you start, the Paleo Diet, along with the Paleo Exercises, will transform, energize, and inspire you for the rest of your life.
Think about the fitness industry- they have divided the various aspects of fitness into different compartments: there are "cardio’ exercises, that used to be aerobic exercise (remember the Aerobics running fad, that destroyed so many knees, hips and backs with unnaturally long and grueling runs?). Then, there are strength exercises, that isolate the muscles as much as possible, to maximize hypertrophy. I was guilty of this in the past, with extremely taxing weight workouts that just wore me out, and actually inhibited real fitness gains. Next, flexibility exercises, such as yoga and other streching based systems.
Is this how animals train to maintain their own amazing levels of fitness?
Obviously not! And that is my point- training has to be movement based. In the wild, animals start learning their species appropriate movement patterns immediately- an animal that cannot move properly and efficiently will be doomed to an early death. The best proponent of this philosophy is Erwan Le Corre of
Movnat:
"I believe, and can actually observe, that an overwhelming majority of the modern fitness industry has completely lost sight of our original physical aptitudes. It provides methods that are significantly divorced from our original movement modes. The muscle isolation approach does not work. The body does not work in isolation, but through and thanks to movement.
There is more to building a body that just growing muscles. And there is more to building a being that just building their body. Lastly, people get bored! Why would you stick to doing anything that doesn’t feel natural to you? Isn’t there a way we can physically and optimally develop ourselves, while staying faithful to our evolutionarily natural heritage?
You see, in our modern world, all fitness regimens are accessory and optional. It is up livepage.apple.comto each and every individual to decide if they want to exercise or not, and how. Even walking has already become an option. But like it or not, moving naturally still is, and always will be a biological necessity. When you are not respecting the needs of your true biological nature, you become a zoo-human
and the price to pay is physical, mental, and even spiritual suffering.
So isn’t it high time for a healthy and meaningful paradigm shift in the way society and the fitness industry approaches fitness? In the way you are personally approaching exercising? Aren’t you thirsty for authentic human movement?"
Erwan Le Corre
Founder of MovNat and Master Instructor
I agree wholeheartedly with Erwan's ideas! Here he is in a brief video that encompasses the movnat ideal:
"http://www.youtube.com/embed/SKGF-ErsJiI"
Now, doesn’t that look a lot more fun that working out in a crowded commercial gym, and then running by the side of a busy downtown road? Now, admittedly, Erwan is in rather ideal wilderness settings here, but he also does Movnat style workouts in parks, yards, and even indoor in motel rooms! After all, you can crawl around, jump, lift your body weight, twist and climb just about anywhere. And that really is all that it takes: the willingness to explore your bodies natural movement patterns, and slowly develop and work on them…
That’s what animals do, that’s what children instinctively do, and it’s what we used to (of necessity!) do, and what we should begin doing now, electively! We really need it for every aspect of our well being- we are hard-wired
to MOVE! And, again, move naturally, playfully, and for FUN. No long slow distance running for hours on end in what Mark Sisson of lwww.marksdailyapple.com terms chronic cardio
, and no marathon weight lifting sessions where you work to failure! Both of these are all to common ways in which to burn out your adrenals, and set yourself up for massive injuries, either immediately or in the long-term chronic variety down the road.
Remember- exercise is to be provided in small, intense, but actually enjoyable bursts of playful energy. These small injections
of fun/movement yield huge payouts in terms of your time spent.
You don’t have to be intimidated by the seemingly impossible feats shown in Erwan’s MovNat video- like any example of achievement, he is showing a really advanced level of physical conditioning. Start small- walk barefoot around your yard, trot a bit here and there, hand from a tree branch, pick up a small log repeatedly and throw it… use your imagination! Go with the flow- crawl, jump, crouch down under
