Get Your Ass In Gear
Growing up my Uncle (once removed?) had this photo with a caption that read “Get your ass in gear” stapled to the barn wall. 20 years ahead of his time.And today I saw it again on social media.In the spirit of that, whatever you’ve been putting off, today’s the day.
Big Toe Pain When Squatting
ig toe pain when squatting is often caused by the shoes you’re wearing. Feet can change over time and just because your shoes fit when you bought them, doesn’t mean they fit now.
