Fitness has many levels. Do we address them all with each training session? With our entire movement practice? The mainstream fitness industry address many sides of fitness, and at Epic, we’re interested in going even deeper. Let’s briefly look at the Four Faces, or Perspectives, of physical fitness.

First Face of Fitness

We are motivated by feelings, emotions, self image and enthusiasm. Any physical activity we practice serves to bring you enjoyment, emotions, and experiences ranging from brutal or challenging to refreshing and wonderful. Relative to this perspective, why do you exercise?

Second Face of Fitness

We are motivated by the science and story of how our body’s biology, chemistry, function, strength, power, and capacity. We think about muscles, fat, weight, range of motion, and other external factors. Relative to this perspective, why do you exercise?

Third Face of Fitness

We are motivated by the interplay between the body’s systems, or the relationships between, for example, two fighters, members of a team, teams in competition, and so on. The rules of the game, the systems we follow, the protocols we experiment with and results we achieve are all very important. Relative to this perspective, why do you exercise?

Fourth Face of Fitness

We are motivated by the commaraderie of teamwork, the thrill of competition, the shared community of a yoga class. How the relationships feel and the meaning they provide are crucial to us.Relative to this perspective, why do you exercise?

Now that you’ve looked into the faces of fitness and gained a new understanding that there is more to exercise than exercise, what will you do next?

The Epic Workout is concerned with going beyond mainstream exercise so that participants, teachers, trainers, movers and shakers can get more out of exercise. We are currently researching the role movement practices makes in our lives in ways not normally measured by modern science. For more details on how the world’s many movement practices actually make a difference in our lives beyond modifying muscle and fat content, visit the page for the graduate study work by Beth and Alex Iglecia.

The Epic Workout has One Goal

To transform our notion of exercise towards wholeness, with awareness, for purpose. With a fresh mindset, deep motivation and lots of intent, we can channel our energies towards doing what we love in ways that fulfill us. In terms of exercise and training, we can wake up in the morning looking forward to our workout. We can relish the challenge, accept the nervousness, swallow our fears and get going strong.

The Epic Workout focuses on Strength, Movement and Awareness. We build strength by overcoming challenges. When we face the adventure, step forward into challenge and overcome, we develop our strength of body and character.

We develop movement when we practice moving in new ways, whether that be dance, yoga, athletics, martial arts or innovative movement patterns. With new capacity and ability defined by skills, flexibility, conditioning and creativity, we can take on more of life’s challenges with greater ease.

We cultivate awareness when we shift attention to our experience. Yogis do this with breath and sensation, and in the Epic Workout it is similar, but breath and sensation are on a different level. We learn to own our bodies and minds by better listening to their communications. We play the game of life together, and thus, transform.

About Epic Movement

Three principles make an Epic. With these in mind, you can update your own exercise program, yoga practice, or martial or dance form to provide Epic challenges.

Epic Principles

I. Movement Matters: focus on the essence of multi-dimensional, multi-use movement found throughout life

II. Mindful Intensity: build intuitive skill with mindful intensity, repetition and rhythm

III. Movement as your Mirror: take our mind-body connection seriously and use movement purposefully to discover in yourself what there is to discover

When you apply these principles, you are using exercise to nourish and support your own hero’s journey.
