Gray Cook & Erwan Le Corre : Log Squat vs Weight Room Squat
Now that we have an impression of authentic movement, in Disc 2 we see Erwan putting two people through structured, progressively more difficult drills. In this disc, we’re invited to participate as he instructs us through a challenging set of ground-based MovNat maneuvers. We see the improvement in symmetrical movement over the course of the 90 minutes, and we get to listen in as Gray provides a few pointers. He’ll also give us his commentary to tie this work in with Functional Movement Systems.
How do you use this material in your gym or with your gym-based clients? For Disc 3 we move indoors, where Erwan shows how us to replicate these ground-based drills using common gym tools. Gray will teach us how to scale these movements as Erwan demonstrates, and through it all, Gray explains the connection with the movement screening model.
Disc 3 comes with the 41-page Exploring Functional Movement Exercise Manual. This comprehensive material defines the terms, separates the 37 exercises into movement categories, explains the practical applications, points out the important aspects of each movement, notes the relevant FMS tests for each exercise, and provides a concise table of the material by movement types and FMS patterns.
You’ll also find a 21-page introduction to Erwan Le Corre’s MovNat physical education system and movement efficiency principles, plus eight articles by Gray Cook, which he feels are important in learning the concepts found on the Exploring Functional Movement video.

Thank you for the well explained and demonstrated information. It answered a lot of questions that have been unanswered through usual fitness activities. Training for life or training for a sport or specific activity, there is a difference and we can all benefit by adding training for life, as that is what we all have in common.

This lecture was absolutely fantastic. From the moment it started one could see it was going to be a plethora of real knowledge to be used in the real world. There is truly nothing to complain about, and all the praise to be given. Gray Cook and Erwan Le Corre have created a resource where one could instantly spark his body into freedom. This series is the perfect tool for anyone looking to, as Erwan so eloquently said, become healthy, strong, happy, and free.
