Head-loading is impossible to perform correctly without achieving an ideal head and neck alignment. Alongside the development of the relevant stabilising muscles that develop, so too does a particular gait pattern which is a third more efficient than our normal walking gait.
Ideal posture is the position from which the musculoskeletal system functions most efficiently and there is a direct relationship between chronic poor posture and chronic pain.
Tend your inner fire this March by joining Billy at this free online summit.
You’ll learn about natural movement and how to embody your natural masculine (if you don’t do this already).
I cannot guarantee you will leave the summit a better person, but you might.

Read MoreThe 2010’s brought functional and natural movement into the mainstream thanks to people like Ido Portal, Katy Bowman and Gray Cook and the good old-fashioned squat made a comeback. The Paleo and Rewilding movements found a home on Instagram and squatting, like so many things in modern life, has become another way to virtue signal.
Here’s my current AiM inspired thoughts.
Chaos gets a bad rap these days, people normally think of the apocalypse or a household with a new born baby. But can chaos in your movement have a positive effect on your life, and is it possible to implement it safely. Find out in this exciting episode of Billy's Ramblings.
Read MoreHave you ever wanted to watch an man sit in a cold river for 30 minutes (well, 15 minutes twice) and talk about the pros and cons of cold immersion. Well it's your lucky day because this is the video for you. I'll discuss the effects of a cold dip in the ice after training or competing, as well as the crazy and awesome guy Wim Hof himself, and where I think he is getting it right, and where I think he is getting it wrong.

I was really impressed by the level of diversity and choice out there and was pleased to see so many companies who make handmade shoes have added the choice of Vibram soles, making it easier than ever to find the perfect style that suits you.
Functional: To be practical and useful, rather than attractive.
