Most people don’t associate working out with learning. They go to the gym, get all swelled up and sweaty, and then go home without thinking about the damage they could be doing to their bodies if they’re lifting improperly (all of that internal rotation jazz) or the potential gains they could realize if they incorporated mobility into their routine. That is one of the most amazing parts of Invictus. Not only do you guys develop great (and safe) workouts for us, but you also provide amazingly helpful and interesting information to help us get better and healthier…whether it’s the texture of our poop or the fuzz in our bodies. I’ve learned a ton about shoulders, nutrition, courage, and even fashion (!) that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. I know everyone is aware of the “community” aspect of Invictus, but for some reason the fuzz made me feel like I needed to write this. Thanks for the great blogs!

Lena,
So awesome to hear from you! And it sounds like you’re still enjoying med school 🙂

Interesting question… Not something I’ve thought about. Part of me feels really attached to my body, but then at that point I won’t have much need for it.

Great post Cal!

Great post! I think one of the best tools for education is showing people pictures/videos of exactly what is happening inside your body, and then explaining the relationship to a sensation or feeling that we are so familiar with. I love it!

On a related note, I will say that separating fascia is an oddly satisfying maneuver. This is, of course, secondary to studying the extraordinary structure of the human body. My cadaver passed away at 90 years old due to natural causes – you can imagine how much fuzz she had!

For those who may be totally disgusted with cadavers: bodies that are used for medical education or research only get there if the person specifically requests that their remains are used in this way. It’s actually a pretty amazing gift to give! After our anatomy block, we held a ceremony to acknowledge and thank those who gave their bodies.

Would you give your body for medical education or research?

This GROSS picture does more to motivate me than anything I could be told to do.

Awesome article Calvin!!! Sitting for long periods of time can also lead to “fuzz”. I love what Kelly does with the jump stretch bands to break up fuzz its super powerful and innovative. Graston, ART, massage, acupuncture , e-stim, cupping it’s all directed at fuzz destruction ; ) I LOVE IT!!!
