Taylor meets Paul
“So it’s a funny story about meeting Paul…”
To say that Taylor and Paul “go way back” is an understatement.
ARC Method Courses is the culmination of their 30+ year friendship and partnership in fitness innovation.
Better Breathing
Here’s a simple one minute breathing exercise that you can do to improve your overall health.
"I knew that I had challenges that other people didn't have, and that I had to work harder than them."
Training with Paul has enabled Taylor to compete at the highest level of surfing for longer than anyone else. **EXCEPT for @kellyslater, OF COURSE**
The fruits of their labor are here for you!
A Little Balance for You
Here’s a drill that will help bring a little balance as we head end 2020.
This clip is from the Assessments chapter in our Fundamentals section. The full chapter provides a series of drills to help improve your balance, posture, and breathing.
..and with our New Year’s special, you can get lifetime access to ARC for less than the price of a 3 month gym membership.
Hip CARs (Controlled Articular Rotation)
Happy Holidays from ARC. Here’s a new CAR for you all! (Controlled Articular Rotation)
Hips are the part of the body that we get the most questions about.
Hip CARs are one of our favorite exercises for opening up and providing mobility to the hip socket. Or as Taylor puts it, “it knocks the barnacles off.”
This video gives you the set up on how to do the exercise, along with all of the reps to both sides. Enjoy!
Shoulder CARs (CARs = Controlled Articular Rotation)
Shoulder CARs are a great way to open up your shoulders. They are one of Taylor’s favorite warm up and cool down exercises. He especially likes doing them to get ready to paddle out at heavy waves like Pipe of Teahupo’o.
In this video, Paul and Taylor take you through the set up of the exercise. You can head over to the ARC Method Courses YouTube channel to watch the full video of the set up and reps.

The Body Follows the Mind
“The body follows the mind, it’s not the other way around.”
In this clip, Taylor shares his thoughts on the importance of taking time with your thoughts.
We hope that all of you are enjoying physical and mental health this Holiday season!

Always Learning and Improving
It’s been eye opening and interesting working with @rintala_movementflow @paulhiniker_hhp and Gino Cinco down at @functionsmart about how the body moves and strengthening areas of the body that I haven’t reached yet.
ARC Method Courses are based around surfing but we always want to stay open minded because no one knows everything.
Here is some things were experimenting with... the jury is still out but it’s so fun to be always learning
