60 Second Interview: Vic Verdier (MovNat)

 60 Second Interview: Vic Verdier (MovNat)

Who are you?

My name is Vic Verdier. I'm the guy you call in the middle of the night when you want to learn about natural movement, aquatic activities or self-defense.

What is fitness to you?

Fitness is the mental and physical ability to do whatever you want with your body: running, jumping, playing, climbing, or defending yourself.  It allows you to quickly learn new skills or techniques whilst minimising the risk of injuries.

What are your goals?

My main goal is to train as many people as possible in natural movement.  Compared to the far less efficient "fitness programs" based on isolation movements using one-size-fits-all machines you find in most commercial gyms.  People have to re-learn how to move in a natural way, in a natural environment, with a nature-oriented mindset.

What is one of your main concerns in relation to health?

How can people gain so much weight and become couch potatoes - when there are so many good things to eat and to do in the world around us.

What is your favourite meal?
 
Any meal my late grandmother would have prepared. She didn't know anything about processed food, artificial flavouring or corn-based additives.

What is your favourite exercise/activity?
 
Improving my personal record on the 100m dash whilst chasing a pit-bull.

Un interview de soixante secondes: Vic Verdier (MovNat)

Un interview de soixante secondes: Vic Verdier (MovNat)

Qui êtes-vous?

Je m'appelle Vic Verdier. Je suis le type que l'on appelle en plein milieu de la nuit lorsque l'on veut apprendre les mouvements naturels, les activités aquatiques ou la self-défense.

Qu'est-ce qu'être en forme pour vous?
 
Etre en forme c'est être mentalement et physiquement capable de faire tout ce que l'on a envie de faire avec son corps : courir, sauter, jouer, grimper ou casser le nez du type qui drague votre copine. La forme vous permet d'apprendre rapidement de nouveaux mouvements ou techniques tout en minimisant le risque de se blesser et tout en se faisant plaisir par la même occasion.

Quels sont vos objectifs ?
 
Mon principal objectif est de montrer au plus de gens possible les avantages du mouvement naturel, en comparaison avec les programmes, bien moins efficaces, habituellement basés sur des d'exercices d'isolation musculaire sur les machines que vous trouvez dans la plupart des salles de gym. Les gens doivent réapprendre à bouger de façon naturelle, dans leur milieu naturel, avec un esprit orienté nature.

Quel est votre prinicipale inquiétude dans le domaine de la santé?
 
Voir à quel point les gens peuvent prendre du poids en s'affalant sur leur sofa, alors qu'il y a tant de bonnes choses à manger et à faire dans la nature qui nous entoure.

Quel est votre plat préféré?
 
N'importe quel plat préparé par ma regrettée grand-mère. Elle ne savait pas ce qu'était la nourriture industrielle, les colorants artificiels et les ingrédients synthétiques.

Quel est votre exercice/activité préféré?
 
Améliorer mon sprint sur 100m en gueulant après un pit-bull à moitié fou.
