Some days you just don’t have the mental, physical, and or emotional willingness to train. On these days pick at least one movement to practice from the list below.


A little about this movement list before you get started.

These individual movements are not “Goal Movements”.  “Goal Movements” are things like: Squats, Deadlifts, Pullups, Pushups, Handstands, Dips, Overhead Barbell Presses and many other weighted and body-weight strength movements.

The purpose of this list and the 20 movements chosen is to act as a safety net, meaning that on “lazy” days you have something to look too as an absolute training minimum.  This list can also be utilized as extra work when you have down time, such as watching tv or waiting for something/someone.

Remember that, the more you move the healthier you are, and each one of these movements are gentle in nature and cultivate feelings of well-being and relaxation.

This list of movements is not designed to teach you how to achieve more advanced “Goal Movements” and training concepts.

If you are interested in a long term movement and training program, begin with the BARUCHealth Movement Session 1.
