Grant Thomas is the creator of Smoov Moves and an informative movement coach using a compilation of multiple movement systems combined with his own moves. His backstory involves a nagging back injury, massive body transformation and a transcendence of the ego we all struggle to manage. A big takeaway for myself personally is the language Grant uses to draw his clients away from the "get out of pain" mindset so he can nudge them towards a more fruitful goal standard. We touch on one of my favorite topics (movement experience vs theory) as well as back pain, tongue posture and getting back to the "playing" mindset. Grant has created a line of his own custom foot bags AKA hacky sacks and utilizes those as well as the Swiss ball (plus other fun tools) which add a fun yet challenging dynamic to functional training. I asked Grant to give us his favorite tongue posture exercises to bolster this episode with some utility and he does not disappoint. All in all, I enjoyed the conversation thoroughly and can't wait to have him back on for a another episode.
