Stamina
Stamina is the expression of power for a duration of time. The longer in time we can express power the more stamina we have. In this way stamina and endurance are related, but we do draw some distinctions. Stamina - in
Power
Power is our ability to do work over a given unit of time. It is simple Newtonian physics. We can calculate our power output - if we desire. If we are preparing for a known occupational or sport task we can
Agility
Agility is our ability to change direction. If you need to jump out of the way of a car, quickly pivot to avoid crashing headlong into a street light pole while distracted in conversation, or get in position to stop an
Strength
Unless you are accidentally ripping doors off their hinges it's unlikely you've ever thought, "I may be too strong." We have to move through life lifting, carrying, dragging, and pushing things. For anyone who has strained their back or tweaked their
Coordination
Continuing to build our model of movement as a Resiliency skill we come to coordination. Coordination can be thought of as synchronizing the motor skills we need to perform - across the whole of the body's neuromuscular systems - with
Mobility
In discussing movement we consider Mobility (and its close cousin Flexibility) to be the second foundational skill set after balance. First a discussion of terms. Mobility in our context refers to joint range of motion and the ability to actively display that
Balance
Verb: To keep or maintain position so that one does not fall Balance is the foundational skill for all human movement. If we are incapable of maintaining our balance standing, walking, and any survival movements are immediately compromised. In the domain of
Movement
The ability to move your body is a fundamental human skill. We prioritize movement into three categories. First, there is movement as a survival skill. Second, there is movement as a functional skill. Third, there is movement as a performance skill. When
Building Resiliency
The NoFilterFitness model is about Resiliency. Resiliency is measure of our ability to recover from a challenge, to bend under the strain of both daily life and uncommon challenges. Our programing and coaching is meant to foster Resiliency. We focus on seven
