The biggest requests I’ve gotten lately are more videos. I’ll do my best to continue working them in, and over time become less text-heavy and more video-friendly. Seems a lot of folks like their content more through watching and listening than through reading. The three main updates today all involve some video component (though only one provides a real opportunity to learn more healthy practices), so enjoy.

After adding the shoulder mobility in my September 13 update I promised to continue adding videos to the fitness video section. Here are the best you-tube demonstrations I could find for a set of knee mobility exercises and stretches.

Last weekend I had a much-anticipated trip up Half Dome in Yosemite after the cables were taken down. Great hiking/camping/climbing (if you can call it that) trip overall. A few shots below, and all our photos can be found here.

Finally, here is a link to some photos and videos from the simulated race we did at Fit Factory Kingston a few weeks back.
