We talk a LOT about "the basics," but we also get that literally zero people are out there thinking "oh wow, I can't wait to do basic stuff forever!"

Basics aren't sexy.

They're actually a lot like spinach. You know they're good for you, but you'd probably rather have some fried chicken or ice cream instead.

So this show is about how to do two things that'll help you give the basics the love they deserve without wanting to throw yourself in front of a train:
1. how and why you should cultivate a greater tolerance for boredom
2. lots of ways you can make basic exercises more interesting, even after you've been practicing them for years

Ryan will share some of his tips that have helped him continue to enjoy working on skills like handstands, even after almost forty years of practice.

If you want our suggestions for basic skills to work on while you apply these tips, check out this article.
