It all starts and ends with the core.

The other day I shared this simple concept with a woman who was dealing with chronic low back discomfort while walking. Once she applied the simple action in my pod cast she began walking with no discomfort and said "where were you 20 years ago?"

Staying positive and happy is my moral duty to myself, my loved ones, and my community, especially during uncertain and tumultuous times. Negative thoughts, feelings, and actions trigger the human sympathetic nervous system activating our hard-wired, fight or flee reactions which restrict our breathing, tighten our muscles, and increase our blood pressure. Our body becomes flooded with health-damaging stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which clouds our reasoning and judgment....

I've noticed that every time my Wheaton Terrier, Buddy on the left, gets up from lying down he goes through two stretches. The first stretch he leans his body weight onto his front legs to stretches his back legs and toes then he shift his weight towards his back legs and stretches his lower back, chest and front legs and toes.

Part 1 On Saturday, May 5th 2018, I ruptured my patellar tendon, shearing it clean off of my tibai (shinbone) while navigating a Ninja Warrior course at an indoor trampoline park in Orland Park Il. My wife, daughter and I were there celebrating my son's 10th birthday along with seven of his friends. While pushing off side to side on the 45 degree angled slant boards I heard a loud pop that vibrated through my whole body followed by instant shooting pain in my right knee then my right leg gave out.
