    FAQs: Intu-Flow® Mobility Wellness

    Intu-Flow® - Mobility Wellness:


    How does this help me compared to stretching?

    Stretching lengthens soft tissue, often harmfully so. Intu-Flow® “oils your joints” sending critical lubrication and nutrition to starving tissues, which stretching rarely if ever does. This allows you to have pain-free, healthy range of motion whatever your flexibility level. As a side-effect, it increases your flexibility without tearing tissue like stretching often does.


    Why would I need to move my body this way?

    Without moving your body in this way your connective tissue doesn’t get any nutrition because after puberty the only blood flow your joints receive is through movement. Most people live their lives with chronic aches and pains specifically because their joints are starved! This specific type of movement transports the nutrition you eat to the areas that need it most desperately.

    Why should I do this if I don’t have a specific joint problem?


    We focus on prehab not rehab™. Everyday, even if you did nothing but sit on the couch, your joints get compressed, including your spinal discs. This happens even more so if you work a job, even if you’re only standing behind a counter or sitting at a desk! Without feeding your connective tissue with just a few minutes of movement every day, you run the risk of aches, pains and eventually injuries.

    Pain is the last symptom to appear and the first one to go away. A few minutes a day will keep you pain-free, energized, and agile, while preventing the onset of joint and connective tissue problems.

    Is the precision important?

    Yes, but you don’t need to worry. Your nervous system is hard-wired for perfect form. All you need to do is move to but not through discomfort in the specific technique we teach you in the course. We shave away layers of the tension one smooth and slow repetition at a time.

    What do I do when my body can’t move the same range as demonstrated?


    Go to your edge but not off the cliff. You want to build the bridge one plank at a time. As you continue to move to your edge, you gently remove the restrictions by flooding the area with nutrition and lubrication. It takes only a few weeks to restore full range of motion. Remember, pain is the last symptom to appear and the first to go, so even if it doesn’t hurt yet, the limited range of motion means that you caught it early!

    Are the movements complicated or hard to remember?

    When you start the movements are so accessible and easy to learn that you can pick it up immediately. As you continue to develop, you refine these skills, but they will never be more difficult

    Can I just work certain areas?

    Of course! If you listen well, your body will tell you where it is hungry for movement. Feed those areas and get them oiled up!

    Do I need to do the whole program from beginning to end and all at once?


    You can do the program all in one session, or you can break up the movements throughout the day, a couple minutes at the top of the hour, before or after a meal to help with digestion, or right before bed to help fall asleep.

    Can I just do Intu-Flow® to address a specific injury or problem area?


    With your doctor’s specific care, absolutely! Medical doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists recommend specific movements from this program for specific conditions. But remember, we focus on prehab not rehab™. A few repetitions a day, keeps the pain and injury away.

    Will this help me with my sports?

    Yes, this course is much more than the powers of prehab! Tension, aches, pains and injuries all compete with your body’s ability to learn and develop skills. When you “oil your joints” and flood them with your natural nutrition, you create a “clear signal” for skills to improve since they’re free of the noise of superfluous tension, aches, and pains. Your performance in your recreational activities or competitive sports will improve immediately and dramatically over time.

    What does “cleaning the slate” mean and how does it relate to getting results from my exercise like fat loss and muscle gain?

    When your connective tissue is starved for nutrition and lubrication, and you exercise two things happen:
    1. Tension, aches and pains reinforce and become stronger and louder increasing the likelihood of injury, which is why you can’t “train around a problem area”.
    2. You receive only a fraction of the benefit of an exercise you perform, since the tension, aches and pains “leak” away the effort you exert in your exercise. You literally are hemorrhaging benefits from your exercise program because of starved, dry joints.

    These two points combined are why it’s so important to get Intu-Flow®: you’re able to get 100% of the benefits from your exercise rather than wasting it, and you avoid reinforcing a pre-existing problem and turning it into an injury.

    Imagine stomping on the accelerator while keeping the emergency brake on: you’ll work really hard but go nowhere and eventually blow a gasket; or worse, imagine driving with a hole in both your gas tank and your break fluid line. When you get Intu-Flow®, you can take off the brakes, and stop leaking power!

    How different is Intu-Flow® from the earlier warrior wellness program?

    Earl, like everything RMAX sophistication is the natural progression. While Warrior Wellness’ focus was on joint mobility, Intu-Flow incorporates elements from Prime Your BioEnergy and Bio Mechanical Exercise from BodyFlow. In addition, the Intu-Flow set comes with the Extension program and a set of Mini clubbells. This makes for program that covers all three wing of CST, a superb value in investment in one's health

    so..did I get you right... as I progress with Intu-Flow® is the extention prgm with miniclubbells a way to continue? Especially if I want to increase my strengh after maximizing my flexibility? What level of Intu-Flow® do I need to reach before I dare to venture onward with bellclubs?

    thanks for replies, anyone

    Coach Sonnon discusses it in the introduction on Disc 1 of Intu-Flow®.... basically when one has reached Advanced level Intu-Flow® then one is usually ready to begin using the mini-clubs.

    Hi Pixie,

    Extension is not the only route into Clubbell® training by any means. Other Clubbell® resources like the Big Book of Clubbell® and Clubbell® Encyclopedia describe many Clubbell® exercises of different types with a lot of variations. If you wanted an alternate route to introduce Clubbell® work to your training, you could find a wealth of information with those resources.

    With that said, I can't emphasize enough that Intu-Flow® plays a vital part in your overall fitness program and should be the foundation to any Clubbell® training you do. Your joint health is extremely important and you don't want to build up chronic training injuries due to lack of compensation.

    Hi Dennis,
    yes, I will start with Intu-Flow, no discussion about that. I simply have to. I just wonder what could be the best way for me to start with clubbells.

    That was exactly what I wondered about, the book and the encyclopedia....many resources are offered by coach Sonnon.

    Hi Pixie,
    One way to start with clubbells is do a cycle of some of the basic exercises from the book or DVD: Swings, Pendulums, Casts, Cleans to Order, etc. Pick a few and do sets of 3 or 5, incrementally adding reps or sets. As you get comfortable with those, from there, you can sophisticate by working on the combinations - Swipes, Mills & so on.

    I started with 10s, doing 3 sets of 5 reps of the basics, 3 times a week, adding numbers as I went. Later, did a Double Density cycle with Swipes and Mills, with the eventual goal of 100 reps in 10 minutes of each. (Although I don't think I quite pulled it off that first time. Close though.)

    That's for sure...if you hang around here, you will not get bored due to to lack of variety !

    Jeanne is right on. I am following a similar approach with a group of people I am currently introducing to clubbells and it is working very well. And if you ever get to train at a live seminar with Jeanne you will see the results...she is a machine !
