Uh yeah Tyler....when I see saberooths body from his years of stripper practice(pole dancing) all I see is an incredibly fit, healthy, and extremely masculine, fertile and attractive body and when I realize that this man took it upon himself to disapline his body in a more delicate, flexible and refined manner I am even further attracted because it is a sign of mental and emotional confidence and balance... 

If you have "genetically weak" wrists and ankles it is probably a good idea not to cater to the weakness less you become more weak in those areas.  Have we not discussed epigentics?  It's part of duality that yes you are tethered to the larger environment of the planet and overarching social climate but within that you can create your own environment and practice that informs your body how to grow and evolve within this generation to inform the next by taking your body, mind and soul to the best potential in this generation....

I mentioned yoga because most of the work is breathe work...if you are doing it right you are doing what appears to be subtle flexible movements but you are engaging an extremely wide range of muscles and conscious of letting other muscle groups go, conscious of your bones and skin and breathing deeply into all parts of the body to increase circulation, this will help with heat issues.

I recently tried yoga for 3 years, did my very best, looked ridiculous compared to the svelte males and females next to me, no point. I've made it a rule in life  not to try things that I am obviously no good at. I broke that rule when doing yoga, and wasted a lot of time as a result.

I have a few comments from personal experience, maybe you'll find value in them.

Barefooting: why do you need barefoot shoes... you have feet. It's all you need. You can walk around barefoot, it's legal, for the most part. There is a community of people who do it, myself included.

Wim Hof Method: I got the product. I watched the videos and I tried following it. The breathing method is interesting, but I found that after doing it a couple of times, I become averse to doing more. I also found out that I am not the only one. So that is something to note.
Similarly, for cold showers, I found that they tire me out and are usually pretty painful. So I stopped following the WHM. However, I still take cold showers, I just do it in a more "Spartan" fashion: either shower in cold water, like a man, or don't shower at all. However, I don't force myself to jump in fast, stay longer than I want to, do breathing exercises during, before or after, etc. I might be missing out, but I felt very tired while I was doing WHM and also started dreading taking showers.

If you want to do more paleo things, presumably hunting and fishing are an option. I'd start using modern techniques, and slowly rely less and less on gadgets. You can also shed as much clothing as the law allows.

Also, I feel your pain with yoga. In my view, the problem is not in yoga, but in comparing yourself to others, especially women. If you want to do yoga, you should probably go at your own pace, and not try to compete with others.

TylerDurden:
Re barefoot shoes:- You are quite right. It's just that walking around barefoot in the city would get me strange stares and, in many stores, I would likely be asked to leave for various reasons. Walking barefoot in the countryside, away from gravel-packed roads, is an option, and I usually  walk around barefoot, like the Japanese, when at home.

Re Wim Hof Method:- I still have heat-intolerance, gained in my pre-RPD days. It's nowhere near as bad as it was in pre-RPD days, but I need to get rid of it. The Wim Hof Method sounds great, as I love the cold, anyway, and find temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius to be unpleasant. My current cold bath experiments suggest that I only feel some pain in the toes if I stay for more than c.45 minutes in a freezing cold bath at any one time. The only other alternative is the new Wristify gadget which I am having sent to me  in July 2018, but that's a long way off.Hmm, on the other hand, someone suggested doing a very long-term water-fast as that seemed to reset his body and got rid of his heat-intolerance for good, even after he gained all the weight back.We'll see.

By the way, I appreciate the comments, but please  post another thread for further comments, as, ideally, I would like to give prominence to my first and 2nd posts, and just add in further data to those particular posts in future. Obviously, if someone has even better ideas as regards non-dietary palaeo and non-palaeo ideas, feel free to create your own mass-thread, and I will  post all the contributions in that thread elsewhere, and even make a sticky if it's long enough.

In the meantime, topic locked.
