Whatever your favorite sports are, it is important to exercise every day. There is a public awareness of the childhood obesity epidemic in America. We are all responsible for our own health, yet so many are eating unhealthy diets with sedentary habits like TV and video games.
The CDC says: "Childhood Obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years." They go on to say that Obese youth are more likely to have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, at greater risk to bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, low self esteem and as adults are more at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer and osteoarthritis. They conclude with, "Healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity can lower the risk of becoming obese and developing related diseases."
Maybe playing 'everyday' is overkill, but it has worked for me. Please watch and comment on my new video, "No Excuses" on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/footbagenlightener#p/u/1/glzd8shVkJo. It is about my past 4 years (1500 days) of playing footbag freestyle every day in an effort to improve my skills in my 40's, which turns out to be a pretty healthy habit.
Thanks for all your support so far, the movie has had great reviews. Please share the link on you facebook page if you like it.

Shred notes: 2/4/2011
This week I worked on longer strings, alternating with frontside moves. Then on strings that contain frontside midstring. Also tons of Atomic stuff. Gotta get atom smasher to the point where I don't 'rake' it out, but freeze it in a toe delay which will make it easier to get to legbeater, which is necessary for my long term goal of rubberman. I think I hit 'Inspinning Swivel' yesterday... haven't seen the tape yet. I love this sport! Never a dull session.
