Starting Them Young



This is Marianna at 16 months old performing an
incredible Kettlebell Deadlift technique!!

It shows how babies are pre-wired with beautiful movement skills and are designed with the perfect movement blueprint. Watching Marianna squat and deadlift is awesome and she so naturally understands how to move from her hips and keep her spine straight. I never had to teach her how to sit back on her heels or to keep her shins vertical. She already knew how to move well which proves to me that humans are designed to move perfectly. It is a lifetime of faulty movement patterns and lack of activity that pre-disposes people to injury, overuse injury and movement dysfunction. All you have to do is watch a baby squat, deadlift and breathe and you will see harmony, beauty and precision. God knows what He is doing!!!

I spend weeks teaching proper kettlebell deadlift to my students, and Marianna's doing it properly on a spot. This tells something doesn't it?

I think that was heavier than the Biggest Loser Kettlebell

I had to watch this twice. It is so many things - amazing, adorable, fascinating, hilarious - LOVE it! Marianna rocks! I giggled with delight throughout. :)

Amazing! Makes me think many "problem"-clients should be just hypnotized to believe they're this young :)

That is too cool and she is too cute! She is just as amazing as her parents are. I am REALLY enjoying the "Quick Results" video, Yoana. You and Franz are a great team.

Take care,

That is too cute! Lyla does that as well. 8-) We should get them together to do kettlebells. It's amazing how it's so natural for them, yet so many people struggle with that. Thanks for sharing.

The good Lord is amazing. In addition, Marianna has been blessed with two remarkable parents. Keep up the work! God Bless!
