This is so much kit and so expensive! i've already got scales, dumbells, weights and a mat but the rest of this kit is almost £250. Is there no way to do this with skeleton or more basic/cheaper equipment at all? The course is costly enough but all this kit makes it impossible for me to get going.... i'd really appreciate a video showing how to get the same results on a very tight budget if possible please
Hi Brendan! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, you are truly inspiring! I'm from Argentina and I don't speak English, so I'm using Google Translate to write, so forgive me if it's written strangely. I watch your videos thanks to the generated TH-cam subtitles. I watched your videos, and I ended up convincing myself that FP was the way for me, to help me with my chronic back pain, since I am very self-taught and committed to the things I do. I am about to start the 10-week course, in your opinion, should I abandon any other type of physical activity? I was doing squats, push-ups, planks. I'm just worried about not doing any type of physical activity. Is PF in itself an exercise system on which I could base all my physical activity to be healthy? Or is it only useful for posture and pain? With the 10-week course, will it be enough to have a basic exercise routine to stay physically healthy? For my back problems I was doing RPG (Global posture reeducation), basically it is a professional who performs interventions with his hands to achieve a harmonious posture. It helped me a lot with my pain, and I'm much better than last year, but now that I'm going to start FP, I wanted to know if in your opinion I should stop it, or maybe it would be a good complement. Finally, is the "massage cane" essential? because I don't think I can get it. What options could replace it? In my country maybe I can get these massage sticks: option 1: articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-1133650609-palo-masajeador-s-de-cuello-espalda-pies-abdomen-presion-_JM Option 2: articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-1135604374-palo-masajeador-j-para-cuello-espalda-piernas-pies-abdomen-_JM#position%3D16%26search_layout%3Dstack%26type%3Ditem%26tracking_id% 3D48e57e1b-6796-476e-a534-56c3869e97fc None of them look exactly like the one shown on the official FP website, and since I don't know how they are going to be used, I don't know if they will be useful or not. In your opinion, which is the most convenient option? Should I buy one of those options or try something else? Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos, and for sharing all your knowledge and experience, and also thank you for responding to the comments, since I have also been able to learn a lot there. Even being on the other side of the world, you have helped me, so thank you very much Brendan! The best for you!
Hey, thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and I hope that they have been helpful for you. I have taken some time to address your questions below. My replies are in bold. I am about to start the 10-week course, in your opinion, should I abandon any other type of physical activity? I was doing squats, push-ups, planks. I'm just worried about not doing any type of physical activity. *I would avoid any exercise that is not necessary. The more you do those things the more your body will stay stuck with old patterns of movement.* Is FP in itself an exercise system on which I could base all my physical activity to be healthy? Or is it only useful for posture and pain? With the 10-week course, will it be enough to have a basic exercise routine to stay physically healthy? *The 10 week course and the Functional Training System, which is a different course, are very much the basis of my training now. You can absolutely get amazing results and become very strong. Have a look at some of the practitioners on Instagram to see their long term progression with FP.* For my back problems I was doing RPG (Global posture reeducation), basically it is a professional who performs interventions with his hands to achieve a harmonious posture. It helped me a lot with my pain, and I'm much better than last year, but now that I'm going to start FP, I wanted to know if in your opinion I should stop it, or maybe it would be a good complement. *I wouldn’t mix other ideas and concepts with FP immediately but they MAY be something that you can adjust with the knowledge from FP. The majority of your corrective exercises in the 10 Week Course will happen with active integration. There are very little passive or isolated concepts and particularly with week 7, 8, 9 and 10 you will learn more than anything I have seen.* Finally, is the "massage cane" essential? because I don't think I can get it. What options could replace it? *Yes, get a massage cane, either one of those links you sent me are good.* I hope that helps you on your FP journey! Please let me know if you need further assistance!
@@rawmotionfitness Thank you for your dedication and time to help others, and thank you for the help you gave me. Thanks to you I finally decided to start my path to FP. I'm already in the second week :D One more question. In your opinion, should I buy the book "The Power of Posture" by Naudi? Does it have fundamental knowledge for the practice of FP and for the restoration of posture? Do you think that the sustained practice of the 10-week course will be enough to stop feeling back pain? I have chronic back pain that I have felt for 8 years. I heard your experience that you turned to a FP trainer when you felt a bit stuck in the 10-week course, and after a few years you went back to practicing alone again, even going back to the 10-week course. Do you think that to solve a chronic postural problem like mine, the 10-week course will be enough to stop feeling pain, or will I need a FP practitioner to guide me in my training, or do you think that all the changes can be achieved by self-taught? In that case, when do you think it is appropriate for me to turn to a FP trainer? Should I complete the 10-week course first, and then do some other course, or should I continue with the 10-week course until I notice consistent changes and then turn to a trainer? Thank you for your dedication, may you grow in all your projects and develop your maximum potential! A big hug Brendan!
Great valuable content. Thank you! I have one question regarding the broomstick handle. Do I need to attach a cable or resistance band to the end of the stick? When watching the FP videos, it seems like there is always a cable attached to the end of the stick. If this is the case, the stick would need to have a hole or some other mechanism to attach the cable, right?
Hi there, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. You don't need the RG Bar to do the 10 week course. If you do have a cable stack that is helpful for the 10 week course, but only necessary after the first 8 weeks. The RG Bar is a separate course...
There have been cases where people have decompressed their spines to the point where they have gained height. It would depend on how much compression you have in your spine. Initially I gained over an inch, but there is also a recompression element to FP when you get deeper into your mechanics.

Can I grow taller with fp ?
