Mocean365 Movement Adventures

We focus strongly on being aware and engaged during our workouts. Feeling muscle unity as we train our bodies in all 3 planes of movement(3d). We become aware of our bodies and work on Proprioception. Traditional and mainstream fitness seem focused on dissassociation and distraction which in my opinion leads to poor movement patterns and dissconnection.
Cognitive function is integrated as well with challenging tasks to exemplify the 'mind and body connection.

Mocean365 And LOOPTWORKS

Always on the lookout for brands and companies that have similar missions. A eye for adventure, focus on quality and sustainability.Recently Meg Walsh(Rootswise/Mocean Mate') were chosen to be "Secret Agents" for one such company that is producing some amazing clothing and accessories with a very noble mission. The company is called LOOPTWORKS and is based out of Portland Oregon. We have got right to work testing the clothing and spreading the word and are very pleased with it overall. LOOPTWORKS is dedicated to "Upcycling" which is that repurposes abandoned materials into meaningful, long-lasting and limited-edition products. By re-using the world’s pre-consumer excess, the U.S.-based company aims to rid the world of waste while inspiring a generation to reduce their impact on the planet. The inaugural line includes jackets hoodies, skirts, shirts and graphic t-shirts for both men and women.
So NO new materials are used in their process and that is really incredible. Check them out and order up something and see for yourselves. Below are a few shots of some of their stuff. We will be regularly updating so stay tuned!

Mocean365 Adventure

So many of you know Mocean365 offers a wide array of movement and fitness instruction all down outside focusing on dynamic movement right? Yes, we do this all seasons with people from all walks of life from kids to older adults. Athletes to weekend warriors to total newbies. People with ailments, old injuries and rust that needs to be worked out. A wide variety of people have chosen to work with Mocean365 and this drives us each and every week to provide a unique, engaging and FUNctional curriculum that is very much its own and not borrowed.
Not to say the teaching doesn't draw from other forms of human movement because it is very much a culmination of all the past and present lessons and experimentation and education garnered from great leaders.
People who are on board with Mocean365 might notice an influence of martial arts/boxing, gymnastics, Parkour, yoga, strong man training, metabolic conditioning and more. All of those experiences plus many others have helped shape the current offerings.
But the most prevalent influence is that of the outdoors and the pursuit of adventure. The term adventure might be in danger of being overused around these parts but that you'd better get used to it. Adventure, in an outdoor setting defines Mocean365 and drives us each and every day and is the reason why we offer ONLY outdoor based instruction and we are proud to be one of the few organizations to offer this ALL year around in a warm and cold climate. Its easy to offer all year around outdoor training in southern California. Its not so easy to do this in Vermont especially in a region where the mountains receive 300 plus inches of snow per season.

We also offer outdoor adventure guiding and instruction well beyond the traditional "fitness" scope. Want to learn to mountain bike or surf? Or maybe step up your game a bit, we can help you.
So hit us up, try us out. Doesn't matter if you are are just starting out on your journey of getting to know your body or you are a hard core warrior looking to take it to the next level. You can do a individual session or grab some friends and do a custom group. You can also come to a public class. You can also add nutrition counseling with our partner, Rootswise. And we work with private groups like schools, hospitals, non profits and workplaces to bring you the Mocean365 Movement Adventure.
Times a wastin' so contact us today to get started.
Cheers

Mocean365 Clean Up and Lean Up Day a sucess

This past Sunday we did a "guerrilla style" trail and cleanup day at the Town Forest In St Johnsbury Vt. I say guerrilla because we JUST DID IT!  We rallied some of our die hard Mocean365 crew, gathered tools and resources and went out and made the forest better than it was. Angel Roy brought and planted some beautiful flowers. Joe Fox came over with a mower and trimmer and along with Mocean Mate' tribe member Will Castle and Mocean365 Team Member Brad Grant, and myself relocated a 15 foot long bridge to a higher and drier spot. Hillary Decarlo swept the yellow trail of trash and debris while Megan Walsh, Hillary, Jen Grant and her son Jack and her nephew buffed out around the pavillion area, getting rid of trash and sweeping and beautifying.
Next up i got the saw out and cleared some trail debris then cut some pieces so we all teamed up to rebuild a problem wet area and construct a new bridge. We also did some armoring and lots of water management work, built ditches and did some selective clearing to let sun in to dry out areas.
 Tracy Gilman and Bill Bennett also helped greatly. After the work, we had a huge feed with some amazing and healthy eats so we could refuel for some fun games. A great day overall and a huge thanks to everyone who came out and participated. I encourage anyone to do the same at their favorite spots!
So remember to come check out the Town Forest and join Mocean365 for a Zone To Zone Action Workout on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7 ish PM right in St Johnsbury. It is an amazing spot and expect varied dynamic full body conditioning for all levels from beginner to advanced. Cost is 12$ OR do both classes per week and only pay $10 per class.  Hope to see you all there. Call 802-888-6262 with any questions or email me at mocean365@gmail.com

Peak Races McNaughton Ultra

Spring has sprung and the fun, adventures and even a little torture are here.
A few of us recently went down to Pittsfield VT to run in the Peak Races,McNaughton Ultra Trail Run.
One guy who i've been training for a year plus went out and killed it! Chris Thompson showed a lot of heart and drive as he blasted out 3 ten mile laps that had over 2,400 feet of elevation gain per lap and lots of technical up and down.
Got a little antsy the night before the run and the organizer let me head out and do some laps via headlamp. did one lap with Will Castle then headed back out for another before getting a few hours of sleep and limped through another lap due to an injury but got my 30 which is more miles than i've run total my whole life i'm pretty sure. Will woke up the next day and did 3 more laps plus Death Race Training. The kid is on fire!

We were rocking the Mocean Mate' tent, keeping runners fueled up throughout the day and early evening. good times.
big congrats to Chris, Will and big ups to the race organizer, Andy at Peak Races for having us. And we couldn;t have done it without our support crew, Meg and Bethany!
