		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just posted a new video on youtube of the dynamic warmup that I recommend for tennis players before they step on the court.  It&#8217;s a brief set of dynamic stretches that prepares the body for the movements you will ask of it in the match.  The five minutes it takes to run [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The way we stand, sit, walk, sleep, watch tv, and drive all impact our bodies.  We all have habits that we do every day. Many of them seem to be so minute, and yet we do them so much that in fact we do them in huge volumes.  That adds up and can have a big impact on our ability to move well.  Do you know what yours are?  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a feeling there may be a lot of golfers out there.  And I suspect just a few of them (read: most) are interested in improving theirs swing.  And another small subset (read: large) are addicted to everything to do with golf.  And that these people may just be interested to get a complete assessment of their swing, of the way they move without a golf club in their hand, and of the correlation between the limitations in the way they move and the problems they are having with their swing.  And hopefully they will also be keen to do the few corrective exercises that will help them to improve their movement and their swing.  I would think that those who don't play as much as they want to because their back gets sore from a round of golf would be particularly keen on this. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now let’s take a look at my swing and see if these movement shortcomings show up there.  A good guess would be that I lose posture on the back swing, and that I probably sway as I need to make up for my lack of hip rotation.  The deep squat suggests I will also early extend, and the lack of torso rotation could lead to chicken wing or hang back.  ]]></description>

I am not sure if it's the accomplishment itself or the fact that he had the courage to consider something like this that I find more inspiring.  I enjoyed reading the note so much, that I knew others would as well.  So I asked him if I could post it on my blog.  Without further ado, here is John's email...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back to the FDC meals. If you were to eat those three meals in one day, this is what your day would look like:
<strong>Total calories: 6,297</strong>. If you are a 335 pound male, that's probably okay. It's also okay if you are a 140 lb woman and are splitting this with 2 friends. 
<strong>Total sodium: 11,252 mg</strong>! In fact let's call it 11 g. That's almost enough sodium for 5 people! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you've ever wondered whether you should do some sort of warmup before a day of skiing, I can provide a simple answer for you:  Yes.  What you should do is a bit more of a challenge.  To help with this, I have created a video that shows a set of 9 activation exercises and dynamic stretches that will help to prepare your body for the ski day ahead. ]]></description>
