“I have started Elements a number of times but failed to consistently find an uninterrupted solid block of 15 or 30 minutes. Late last year I decided to try the grease the groove approach. Using the amazing flexibility of the Praxis platform I break the sessions down into 5 minute blocks eg Warm up, practise etc. and target a 30 minute session over 2 days. It is working. I am getting solid benefits in strength and mobility at no apparent cost.
You may call it cheating - I call it a workaround. And it is working. I plan to complete Elements at last and move to Sequences later this year. PS I am 71 Y.O. and this is part of my plan to die young later.”
“As an 'older' chap with plenty of niggles and injuries on his journey to get his fitness back, I've opted to start with some mobility training and lay a good foundation before pushing on. Elements is good fun, different, and has got my knee doing things it hasn't been able to do for a long time.”
“Wanted something simple I could do at home regularly to get rid of the stiffness and aches that creep up from being too sedentary. Elements is not only getting rid of the kinks but I am feeling more stamina, strength, and mobility without getting bored from repetition.”
“A great programme to help people improve their movement, strength, power everything really but without pushing you to do this too hard too fast which could lead to injury.
I want to work towards being able to do gymnastic moves like a cartwheel, handstand and bridge but after having two kids and my body changing g a lot I don’t want to dive into trying this and risking injury. This programme was great and gave me manageable sessions to work through”
“The fundamentals are always the most important and nothing seems to build out the fundamentals as well as Elements. This is a program I often return to as it consistently helps resolve tightness and reduce general discomfort. I never used to be able to deep squat (and I'm still far from perfect) but Elements has been the program that helped me build the lower body mobility that I need.”
“In the past when I attempted to stick to some other routines, I felt like an unfit person emulating the movements that a "fit" person can properly do. Even though I progressed a bit, I still felt like an uncoordinated and prone-to-injury any second type of person. But after going through some Elements sessions, it started to feel like my base level of athleticism and stable movement was magically improving... something I thought you could only develop in your teenage years as an athlete. Add to that GMB's video explanations in the sessions and the intuitive Praxis app, it's by far the best training experience I've had in my life. Go through Elements and show your body some love”
“I’m a mom of four active boys, and I was really out of alignment and weak after the pregnancies (worth it!). Well, seek and you will find. I gave Elements a try since the boys were moving in the same ways as they grew. So, my 15 minute workout was playtime with them, gave me a huge boost physically and mentally, and helped me achieve a newfound agility for my active (albeit ordinary) days. Shoulder/neck aches from nursing, gone. Hip immobility from the amazing transformation my bod went though, solved. If you’re on the fence, do it. PS - for moms who had huge rocket bellies like me: before I started this, I did a year of a rehab for diastasis recti, and I still make some modifications to keep everything zipped up.”
