    I remember when I first started doing movements like these... it was weird, it felt strange, where was the barbell and dumbbells? But it also felt oh so natural, and oh so good. The more I did them the more freedom I felt in my mind and body. That was enough convincing for me.... but here's some reasons why I chose these 5...
    Hinge to Sieza - Opening up hip hinge, forward fold, squat, and deep knee and ankle flexion. Great warmup
    Crawl Switch Under - Crawl position lights up the core muscles, to smoothly transition from front to back takes massive contralateral strength from hips and shoulders
    Cartwheel - Side bending and Hand support (Handstand), spacial awareness, challenging from the squat
    Roll - Ability to fold the spine and yield to the ground. Much harder than it looks.
    Bear Walk - Contralateral Pattern while opening thoracic extension, shoulder flexion, AND hamstring flexibility
    Those are all the more technical aspects but all in all these are varied movement patterns that help us maintain our human beingness 🤪

      All moves are great, cartwheel high and front roll look incredible - l dream l could do them one day but the best move was your jump over the hence so easily and natural like everyday walking. Many of your videos are sounded with beautiful music like here. Could you share the names of the music you use, please?

    60 years old. Been doing a dance with fitness for 45+ years. Seen a ton over that period of time, tried a lot of it. This video makes me smile. The production values are superb...the content even moreso. 'Getting older'/'aging' is a battle you need to be prepared to fight. (Apologies for the harsh framing.) Maybe the most important element of preparing for this battle is mobility. (Especially vital past the age of 50.) You're providing an amazing resource here.

    Stumbled across this just over a year ago and fell in love with the grace and beauty and knew I needed some for myself. I’ve been playing and having fun with movement everyday since and it has been transformational. I ‘accidentally’ got a 6 pack just from playing about with moves and messing about with my kids. My wife comments on how my body has changed - broader and defined muscles on the shoulders and tummy and even my neighbour had a double-take seeing me hanging from the climbing frame but it’s not about the ego or the ‘look’, it’s about the thoughtful, calm presence I experience whenever I stretch and move now. It’s almost instant, so rewarding, so stress-relieving and so sustainable. Josh, I’m in your debt man you have given me a new whole way of being. Love you for that. Bless.

    3:16, I think it means a lot that the kid is skipping through the woods having a blast and loving it where the dad is simply walking, a little slumped, slower than his kid.
    As you grow you loose that playfulness if not practiced, that playfulnes allows for something a lot of adults are missing in a western world. Everyone is so intent of finding happiness that they forget that happiness is a byproduct and not something you can pursue, fun comes with happiness as a side effect.
    Fun ladies and gentlemen and for me the most fun is found in exploration, finding new environments, finding new things your body can do, creating games. People need more fun.

    I have been performing barbell training for years and felt like something was missing from my training as I would complain on the way home from the gym with my significant other.
    I remember mentioning to her one day I wish I could harness what I had as a child. The vibrant energy and athletic ability I was able to perform things as a 10 year old boy with a lean strong frame for that age.
    This is how I remember. These movements you just performed are so child like, and I mean that in all due respect. These are about as natural and PRIMAL as you can get. Something innate within us all that we forget about over the years. The movements we performed naturally as a child. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.

    1st - you have incredibly beautiful body, like male version of Zuzka Light, ancient greek kind of ideal.
    2nd - these movements look so delightfuly natural and just right. Often when I see someone doing yoga or similar, they look unnatural, like they are doing something the body is not supposed to do, or like machines trying to look human. You look like this is what the body is meant to be, this is how it was designed to function. And somehow, I can sense that these movements were not memorized, that you move by the feeling, or better by being the movement. Gorgeous, I subscribe to see more.

I hope he doesn't think he's better than anyone else because of his body. If he does think that way, then he might be a little mentally sick. Not judging him, but evaluating the whole thing (choreograph, tattoos, visual effects, etc.) looks contrived, made up, to benefit him, not others.

    Your exercises are excellent; simple, manageable (even for a stiff 55 year old who has spent far too much time being sedentary) and yet extremely powerful and far reaching in the range of muscles they target. Best feeling movements I have felt outside of the Ashtanga yoga that I used to be devoted to (yes I fell off the path and became lazy).

    Whilst I'm here, more beginner/ intermediate follow along workouts would be great. 20-30 minutes perhaps?

      @@skeith9144 I remember having a conversation with my father. He had health issues, one we were addressing on an ongoing basis, but I said to him "My prime concern isn't your cancer. Or your peripheral arterial disease, or your aortic aneurysms. It's your _mobility_." And I was right. Granted, we're talking about someone on the latter portions of their life, but this applies to _everyone_. Especially in our seated culture. (Let's not get into 'head-forward syndrome'.) I work on my mobility daily, because I'm a writer. Do I do enough? Nope. Do I wish I'd starter earlier in my life? As in my 20s and 30s? Yup. What's utterly invaluable in what Josh teaches us...and others, such as Ido Portal, or the channel FitnessFaqs...is that in doing things from a bodyweight, calisthenics approach, you intrinsically address mobility. As opposed to, for example, people who work out with weights, 'bodybuilders' from one end of the continuum to the other. When you have great mobility, everything else is possible. Without it? In the words of that modern-age philosopher, 'Good luck with that.'
