Sebastian's Functional Fitness

Sunday Night! #pullup #danceparty

Cloth Journal: A week of workouts. Here’s the sweat train that runs thru my bathroom Mon-Fri #dailyworkout #sweatfest #movewellbewell #trainerlife

Make it healthy. And then make it bigger than your face! Features: arugula, spinach, banana, lemon, frozen peaches, tahini, cardamom, nutmeg, soymilk #winning #wfpbrecipes #greensmoothie #drinkyourgreens

Building Bridges to a stronger tomorrow! Keep these slow, start with both feet on floor if you’re new to the exercise, and be specific: hamstrings engage first, then glutes, then ab’s to stabilize the spine as you squeeeeeze up! #glutemania #stronger2021 #SebFitSF #glutes

Separation is natural. So is union. Current fave post-workout drink: green veg juice, beet juice, turmeric, black pepper, ginger, pea protein, cocoa powder. Shake it up! #postworkout #drinkyourgreens #plantbasedprotein #antioxidants #antiinflammatory #turmeric #workoutrecovery

A client sent me his heart rate graph after a recent outdoor group workout. This one had 7 hill runs with about 5’ strength training in between. Cycling between heart rates is one way to level up cardiovascular health, so you can tolerate a greater range of stresses. #cardio #circuittraining #outdoorexercise #functionalfitness #runhills #HIIT

Skipping rope into the sunset. Not bad :) #jumprope #revolutionresolution #exerciseoutside #cardio

Nighttime walks are my COVID standard. They give me a sense of freedom and quiet, and 3D-ness that I don’t feel indoors. San Francisco hills help! This is from Golden Gate Park last weekend. #getoutside #be3d #nightphotography

"Loop" - a movement film by Sebastian Grubb and Jenny Stulberg. Filmed in 2016 in the Marin Headlands, CA, over about 30 minutes during sunset. No re-takes! Music by Michael Wall, used with permission. // This is something like an AGILE BEAST outdoor circuit. Of course, we can always increase the complexity of physical action. In that way, it's simplistic. It was also before I better understood myofascial lines, in particular the spiral line and front/back functional lines, which orient the spine and pelvis more optimally.

Outside still works! #westcoastprivilege

Lying in the forest. Feeling winter. #hikemoreworryless #grounding

We are animals who dance. Giving thanks, feeling body and planet.

All Plants! Featuring: whole grain bread, hummus, veggie burger, tomato, sauerkraut, arugula . . . .... . #wholefoodplantbased #vegan #burger See more

Fortuitous Mornings! #greensmoothie

Spirals are twisting, diagonal arcs, and represent the geometry of default human movement. They require the collaboration of large scale myofascial networks across multiple joints and joint complexes to generate power and create efficient recycling of energy for repeated movement.

This video is part of the 2020 AGILE BEAST and How You Move workshop series, both now available to stream.

During our recent heatwave and some of the worst air quality in SF, I finally fixed up the stationary bike and took a ride. The garage had *by far* the lowest temperature of my apartment and the workout was actually really fun. (This was a dramatic pose for the camera, I’m not really that cathartic on a bike ) #spin #bike #heatwave #cardio #drama

Breakfast. Forbidden Rice subbed for oats today and, honestly, it’s delicious.

Incorporating crawling exercises in your training program helps to integrate and strengthen the full body, no equipment required. // Today’s focus is on hand and foot options for bearing weight. Planks and handstands are simply specialized variations of crawling more generally, which references our evolutionary history. // Part of the AGILE BEAST online series. #functional #movement #fitness #training #myofascia #biomechanics #primalmovement #crawl

This is Miyoko of Miyoko's (vegan) Creamery. I agree that 'farm work is the original functional fitness'. https://www.wsj.com//a-fierce-workout-routine-comes-from-a

Lately I’ve been experimenting with using doors as fitness equipment. They’re awesome! Here’s how to do Rows, Scaptions, and Pull-Ups on a door and door frame. Before you start, gently test the door + handles + frame to make sure they’re solid enough before you put a lot of weight on them. When you’re good to go, start with just a few repetitions if beginner-level. For advanced folks, there are a lot of tricky grip options using aspects of the frame itself. The sky (read: ceiling) is the limit! #fitnessathome #pullups #rows #doortech #indoorclimbing #primate #functionalfitness #backtraining #lats #forearms #grip #fitnessgear #fitspo #homeworkouts
