The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.
Today I reach a milestone of sorts, I turn sixty. In my community I am officially in the category my wife and I call the “old people” as opposed to the “older people.” I saw this quote the other day that certainly resonated with me.
"Isn't it becoming a little bit sexier to be older?"
