Save Your Knees: Hiking Tutorial     Not so fast…don’t read the title and think this topic isn’t for you.  You walk, right?  Hiking is walking.  Perhaps reading the word “hiking” implies a very long walk or an uneven terrain walk and you don’t believe you need whatever advice is offered, but being better at walking is beneficial to everyone.  Another reason to read this is if you plan on doing one of the obstacle races/mud runs, especially one of the races that takes place on a mountain side/ski resort, like the Spartan Beast.  You’ll want all the quality information you can get on how to move up and down the uneven terrain of a mountain trail.  The author, Katy Bowman, “is a master’s level Biomechanist and the only human physics scientist that has focused her expertise to address our country’s epidemic-level health crisis and the mechanical causes of disease.”  Good stuff that not too many are talking about or writing about!–George

 

 

 

And even less people are talking about this topic: A Wee Problem with CrossFit.  If you didn’t have the time to look around on Katy Bowman‘s website, this was another gem!

 

You’re welcome!
