This video is pretty awesome.  Jack Lalanne is an old school strong man and fitness enthusiast.  He makes all these hard-core training exercises look easy.  A great role model, even with the funny commentary!

more planche training ideas

I found this video on another youtube like site.  This guy has a lot of exercises for training the planche.  One particular one I’ve been working on is the handstand pushups, where each hand is supported by and destabilized by an exercise ball!!

Jack Lalanne Talks About Diet & Exercise

This guy is a recent discovery for me.  He’s old school, we’re talking b/w 50’s old school.  He’s great.  Talks about how to “Stop being so Tired”… Exercise, right calories + diet, and reduce your tension.  Wise words for any generation!

hiking day & weekend trips from NYC

It’s cold out there right now.  But we all know that spring is just around the corner.  What better time to start planning a little weekend excusion away from Manhattan?I found an excellent article about hiking upstate New York and the Hudson Weekend Backpacker: New York – Escape the Big Apple by Tim Nolan.  Being from upstate New York myself, and having hiked a bit around Bear Mountain, I can tell you the views are breathtaking, and the hiking challenging.  You’ll also get to touch the Appalachian Trail, that famous route running from Georgia in the south, all the way to Northern Maine.
