MOSSA On Demand

Have you tried a new workout, tried a new move, or tried any new physical skill, and felt... awkward? Of course, we all have!

See, as adults, we like to be good at things, we like to feel competent and even confident. So, when we try a new skill and feel uncoordinated, we too quickly think, "I guess this just isn't for me." But with practice (and patience!), we overcome those hurdles and get the hang of it.

In a new video, Why Exercise Feels Awkward at First (And Why That's Normal), learn to embrace your newness, tolerate being a beginner, not judge yourself, and stick with new things until you turn awkward into automatic.

If you came to Film Fest for a friendly Fight, Megan and the two Mikes (LaPlaca and Gallo) came to deliver. In a fun, fierce, ferocious 60 minutes, we trained like mixed martial artists to improve our cardio fitness and total-body strength. OCT26 packed an extra punch with a descending ladder at the end of every working track and Meg’s birthday, for a (ding ding ding!) especially sweaty, special occasion.

We’re serious about cross-training, but don’t you agree it’s best served with some pre-filming silliness? But Group Active’s AJ, Katie, and Nikki got down to the business (then way up) with heart-pounding cardio, overhead strength, trip/don’t fall balance, and core, a heavy helping of real-life training so our bodies can handle whatever comes our way. And we hope it’s more Active.
