Two Years of Notes on Movement & Flexibility

My name is Kamyk Sigma. I have spent two years keeping honest private notes about gymnastics floor work, daily stretching, and the eating patterns I observe alongside. This is where those notes live.

Tabletop Work and Wrist Load: Twelve Weeks of Personal Notes on Upper Body Floor Practice

For twelve weeks I incorporated tabletop-position holds and slow reverse bridges into the start of every morning session. I became genuinely curious about what I would write in my notes regarding my wrists and shoulders across that period — not from any clinical framework, just as honest day-to-day observation. The notes I kept were more detailed than I expected and I have compiled them here. I want to be completely clear that I am documenting what I personally observed in my own body — I am not drawing conclusions or making suggestions for anyone else.

Gelatine and Hydration: My Personal Food Observation Notes from a Six-Week Period

I spent six weeks adding gelatine-rich foods to my daily eating and keeping careful parallel notes about how my morning and evening sessions felt. I cannot explain the observations I recorded — I am not qualified to do so. I simply share the notes as written, alongside what I was eating, for anyone who finds first-person food observation accounts interesting to read.

What I Noticed When I Started Sitting on the Floor More: Two Months of Personal Observations

I made a deliberate change: instead of sitting in chairs during my reading and screen time in the evenings, I began spending that time cross-legged or in other floor positions. Over two months I kept notes on what I personally noticed in my morning practice on the days following longer floor-sitting sessions. These are those notes — honest and unembellished.

Who I Am

Two Years of Paying Close Attention

My name is Kamyk Sigma. I live in Utrecht and I have no background in sport, fitness, or anything health-related. Before starting this journal I had never kept structured notes about my body or my movement. What prompted me to start was simple: I began a morning mat practice on a whim and found that writing down what I noticed each day helped me pay attention more carefully. The journal grew from there.

Two years later, the archive covers morning gymnastics-inspired floor sessions, an evening stretching practice I developed gradually, and parallel food observation notes I have kept since the start of the second year. The journal was never designed as a product. It exists because I find the act of detailed personal observation genuinely interesting — and because I believe honest first-person accounts have a different kind of value than professional instruction.

I share this publicly without presenting myself as an authority on anything. I have no credentials, no training, and no claim to expertise. I simply have two years of detailed notes about my own practice and a willingness to share them openly.

No medical, physiotherapy, nutritional, or fitness qualifications. This journal is a personal record only. For any health concern, please consult a qualified professional.

My Personal Approach

What My Practice Actually Involves

After two years of notes, my personal practice has settled into three consistent areas. This is a description of what I do — not what I recommend.

01 Floor Work

Gymnastics-Inspired Floor Movements Each Morning

Every morning before anything else I spend time on a mat. My session involves movements I developed myself by experimenting over two years: slow floor rolls, bridging positions at different heights, lateral body sweeps, and controlled spinal extensions. No coach designed this for me and no programme structures it. I move, I notice things, and I write them down. My notes from this part of the practice are the most detailed — observations about how different mornings feel compared to each other, what I return to most often, and what changed over the two years.

02 Stretching

Passive Stretching Positions at the End of Each Day

From the fifth month of this journal I added a daily evening practice. I enter stretching positions slowly and remain in them for an extended time using gravity rather than effort. I developed this instinctively — I found shorter, more active stretches left me writing less interesting notes than longer passive ones. The evening entries in my journal feel different in character from the morning ones and I have kept them in a separate section. I have no scientific framework for what I observe; I simply document it.

03 Nutrition

Food Observation Notes Alongside Movement Records

Since the start of the second year I have kept brief records of what I ate the previous day alongside my movement notes. My food tracking is not prescriptive or scientific — I simply record what I ate and note anything I observe during the same morning or evening session. I have made a few deliberate changes to my eating during this period and kept notes throughout each one. I make no claim about what food does or does not do to any person's body. I am not a nutritionist. I share these notes as part of one honest record of one person's personal practice.

FAQ

Questions I Am Asked Often

Honest and direct answers to the most common questions about this journal and my personal practice.

Important

No — unequivocally not. Nothing on this website is medical advice, and nothing should be treated as such under any circumstances. This is a personal journal kept by a private individual with no health-related training. Every entry is a first-person account of my own personal experience with my own body. If you have any question or concern about your physical health, your flexibility, your joints, or any related matter, please speak with a qualified doctor, physiotherapist, or other licensed professional. My notes exist for personal documentation purposes only.

Important

I have none. I want to be unambiguous: I hold no qualifications of any kind in any field related to health, fitness, exercise, physiotherapy, sports science, nutrition, or dietetics. I am not a trained personal trainer, not a certified coach, not a physiotherapist, not a doctor, and not a nutritionist. I am an ordinary private person who practises daily movement, keeps thorough notes, and has no authority whatsoever to advise others on any health-related matter. The two years I have spent observing my own practice make me someone with detailed personal notes — nothing more than that.

The Practice Pages Bundle is a curated digital download of my personal journal archive: two years of morning floor work notes, evening stretching observations, food tracking entries, and the longer written reflections I have made at various points. Everything is organised chronologically and by topic. The archive describes what I personally do and what I personally observe — it is a genuine journal, not a structured programme, training guide, or instructional resource of any kind.

I am genuinely not the right person to answer this, and I would not want you to rely on my answer if I tried to give one. I have no medical or physiotherapy training. The descriptions in my journal are notes about my own personal practice — they were not designed as instructions for others, and they come with no safety assessment for anyone else's circumstances. If you have any joint concern or physical issue, please consult a qualified physiotherapist or doctor before undertaking any new physical practice. Please do not use my personal notes as a guide for health decisions.

A Shared Practice Conversation is an online one-to-one session — around sixty minutes — in which I describe my personal practice in concrete detail, walk through selected entries from the journal archive, and discuss the observations I have made over two years in relation to what you share about your own routine. It is not coaching, it is not assessment, and it is not advice of any kind. I share what I do and what I notice; you share what you do; and we compare notes as two people interested in personal movement practice. Nothing exchanged in the session constitutes professional guidance.

The Steady Practice Feed delivers new entries from my active journal each week — typically four to five per calendar month, reflecting roughly how often I write longer entries in my actual practice. Each delivery includes the entry itself plus any food observation notes from the same period. Subscribers also have full access to the historical archive throughout their subscription. The frequency reflects my genuine practice rhythm, not a publishing schedule — which means some weeks produce more and some fewer entries.

What Readers Say

Personal responses from people who have read the archive or attended a session.

★★★★★

"What I valued most was the transparency. Kamyk is consistently clear that this is personal observation and nothing more. Reading two years of genuine notes from a real daily practice — not curated content, not expert advice — made me pay much closer attention to my own routine."

★★★★★

"The Shared Practice Conversation was more thought-provoking than I expected. Kamyk has obviously spent a lot of time observing carefully, and hearing someone describe their personal practice in that much detail — without any professional framing — pushed me to think about my own mornings differently. The written notes afterwards were excellent."

★★★★☆

"I subscribed to the Steady Practice Feed for three months. Getting new entries each week from someone's live practice — unpolished, honest observations as they are written — is a genuinely unusual thing. I started keeping my own notes as a direct result."
