Animal Flow with Andrew Chadwick
I love the opportunity to look outside our current sport and learn from other disciplines. What they do and what can we bring back into calisthenics to help our pupils become stronger and achieve more. Today’s podcast is exactly that as we talk with Andrew Chadwick or as he is more well known – Chaddy.
If you listened to one of our earlier podcasts with Lisa Howell looking at flexibility, we discussed ways to improve flexibility and why potentially some girls may struggle more than others. She suggested to ask those that are struggling with flexibility whether they crawled as a baby, and to help improve flexibility, we should incorporate crawling back into our practice and strength and conditioning. She then recommended me to look at Animal Flow and adult crawling and some of the work done by Mike Fitch and his team. So today we are fortunate to have with us Chaddy, who is one of the Australian Animal Flow Master Instructors and is located here in Brisbane.
Chaddy has over 15 years of fitness industry experience, he is a course content creator, NLP Practitioner, PTA Global Faculty Member, TRX and Trigger Point Performance Senior Master Course Instructor, Senior SandBell, Kettlebell and Battling Ropes instructor. He is now proudly associated with the bodyweight movement program Animal Flow as a Master Instructor.
Andrew’s time in the Australian army led him through some physical pain and then on a journey to discover its cause. This then led him to health and fitness, where he has been able to help himself and others through movement coaching. He was eventually able to return to his sporting passion, Australian Rules Football, as a player and coach. He is now studying martial arts and finds it a fantastic way to learn and observe movement. Chaddy can apply science and intuition to movement and make it fun, and through this earned the 2017 Network FILEX Presenter of the year. His passion is to create health for others by helping coaches create long term results for their clients.
What I love about this podcast is how it reinforces that we need to practice every day to improve, what we tell the body to do or not to do, is what it will get good at. So if you don’t move your body in the way you want it to, then guess what? It won’t move in the way you want it to! It may also motivate you not to only incorporate animal walks into your Tinies section, but look at ways you can include this type of practice into your warm-ups or strength and conditioning of your older sections.
