Primal Stress

According to Primal Stress one of the most crucial factors that determine a person’s health and fitness is stress.  In fact it is claimed that stress related heart disease is responsible for most deaths in the world.  Other factors like lack of sleep, poor diet, and inadequate liquid intake are merely contributing to the fundamental problem of stress.  However amazingly if we as humans continuously harness emotions like anxiety, fear, frustration and pain our bodies actually adapt and strengthen these negative inputs in our lives.  It is said what we repeat we become. 

Primal Stress fundamentally claims that by moving differently we can recover from negative stress related factors that destroy body and soul.  It is claimed that the norm when it comes to stress physiology, is to build resistance to protect against the devastating effects of stress whereas Primal Stress advocates recovering from these effects by reasoning unless one knows how to recover, one cannot resist.  Not only does revival or survival patterns unlock power reserves but it also protects against stress related pains and injuries.

Scott Sonnon is the man behind Primal Stress.  As a martial expert, international competitor, national coach and through teaching tactical fitness he has observed a pattern common to all stress related environments.  He noticed that people became what he called stressed-shaped in so far as the body adapted to the stress environment and thereby restricting the body in performing the way it’s meant to.  Having discovered this common thread and implementing his research Primal Stress is based on three fundamental pillars namely reviving from stress induced reflexes, survive stress and ultimately thriving under positive stress.  Primal Stress claims to show exactly how stress impacts a person’s health and fitness and teaches how to recover and adapt positively to it.
