Jules and Ryan, I am down guys!

no-ones [osted here in a while so i just thought id say i got 1 min underwater and 100m swim in 2:35

the 2:35 is'nt great, but its a start:)

if you know post what you got please:D

Thanks for the tips, Derek. I'm so congested... I'll try, see how it works for me.
Spotter is always a good idea. I've never done it, but then I don't stay down very long. After just finishing 10 of the other tests, I don't usually have the breath left. There is a lifeguard, tho, about 25 feet away.

The chart just said totally submerged underwater. I didn't read the book super-close... don't know if there are a bunch of picky rules that I overlooked. I don't think so. There were other tests for diving, etc, but I don't remember seeing any more rules. There -IS- a page in that section that didn't get scanned by Google...

My best 100m swim was 1:25, but my dives have only been 30-40 sec. Pathetic by Derek standards
You can see my scores since April on my training log "Btay - tastes like parkour". Too tired to put up a link for it. Will be testing again before FRI. [Hope to be over this cold...]

jeez you got really good scores!:D

what did you do for the climbing? a rope in a tree? and the the throwing, a rock or a weight or summat?

Doing tests today. Couple good scores, despite this stinking cold. Couple not so good ones. I'll see tonight when I score it out.

Throwing is a 16# rock. I keep it hid off to the side, and have been using the same one since April. It's oblong, and not smooth, but it's the right weight, and one side fits my hands well.

Climbing is a rope at one of the schools - they've got this little course - looks like they run people through it two at a time? It's a bit short, but it's not like I'm climbing 12m no legs right now.

Thanks for the tips Derek. I'll read them tonight, and start practicing them for next month.

Yeah, put it under swimming, or develop it as its own cool thing. Thanks D!

@Alejandro: to protect your skin against the sun, there are some sun screens that are entirely made of natural components and work perfectly.
But the best protection is the skin itself, and how it is healthily nourished thanks to proper diet, and of course to avoid exposure at certain hours, depending on the weather or your complexion.
To repel mosquitoes, there are also repellents that are made of essential oils, you can as well use ash as mosquitoes hate the smell. Now, you also get used to them at some point, so they bother you much less even though you still get bites.

@Tony, despite I am meeting 2 literary agents while I am in NYC, the book project is postponed as I have decided to go for DVDs first, that are a much more practical material than a book. The book anyway will cover mainly natural movement, I will keep for later the idea of a different book about my philosophy of “True Nature”, which then will cover many lifestyle patterns including nutrition, again in a way that is practical, providing simple ideas that can be easily applied to improve one’s life and make it more natural, healthier. Not sure about a cookbook though .

@Pieter thanks, well I wish that MovNat gets an increasing recognition for sure as I know how beneficial it can be to people, hence the importance of making the training accessible to many, hence the importance of instructional video material and certified trainers.
I am very aware that not everybody can afford to attend one of my events, but in the meantime it is these very events that are going to give me the means to work on developing other projects, so I hope people can understand that!

@Brad and Matthew: John did an awesome job to represent the Paleodiet and MovNat! (I encourage people to adopt the Paleodiet, at the same time I respect that people have ethical concerns and choose to not eat animals).

@Greg: the MovNat training shorts are awesome indeed, they have a MMA cut, they are super light and stretchable so you don’t feel them at all when you move. If you want to buy them you have to email contact@movnat.com.
We will officially sell them (normally) before the summer, along with the first DVD.
