full body flow

I hear some personal trainers throwing the word 'flow' around and it's clear they don't know what their talking about. They think flow means moving from one position to another, so to them if you're doing 3 sets of 10 burpees, you're flowing.



 Flow is a terpsichorean movement. Terpsicorean is a nice, big word that means of or relating to dance. Terpsicorean movement can be found in modern dance, Capoeira, yoga vinyasa flow, aikido, and Chinese kung fu, qigong, and tai chi.



 Go to the 8 minute mark of this video to watch a demonstration of a low gate, full body flow.
