The fork in the road

The Functional path is obviously the name of this blog, so I could not help but think of that when the read the following quote this morning from Yogi Berra “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” I think Yogi understands what function is all about. It is not about one direction, one way. Function is listening to the body, trusting your instincts and allowing the body move. It would be so simple if it just meant you had to learn to turn on some muscles or turn others off, but the secret is to get them all working together. I have just finished reading three scientific studies that in their own way are saying the same thing. Integrate, emphasize synchronisity (good guru word), good athletic performance is flowing and rhythmic. It is not particularly complicated, so let’s not make it complicated. The demands of the sports and movements will take care of that for us.
