Kyle Maynard’s A Fighting Chance Documentary

I’ve written about Kyle Maynard in a previous post because he symbolizes what it means to end all excuses for reaching your goals. If you’re not familiar with Kyle’s story, he is a congenital amputee and has managed to reach just about every goal he has put his mind to. There is a new documentary titled, A Fighting Chance , that has been released on Kyle which follows his journey on the road to fighting in a MMA cage fight, one of his biggest dreams. In it, you learn more about how Kyle has to deal with various obstacles and how he breaks through them to make his dream come true. Although he receives a lot of criticism for some of the things he does, he is still a very inspiring individual and proves that the only thing stopping you from reaching your own dreams is you.

No Equipment Necessary: Lying T Dancer

You can increase the flexibility of your spine, abs, shoulders, and hip flexors, all in one move. I picked up this move, the lying T dancer, from American distance runner and Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan . Start slowly moving from side to side to really feel the stretch, then quicken your pace in order to get your heart rate up. If you’re curious to know how to do this move read more. Lie on your belly and extend your arms out in T position, so they are perpendicular with your body. Press the top of your left foot into the floor and lift your right leg up, bending your knee and reaching your toes toward your left hand. This takes a lot of flexibility in your spine and hip flexors, so don’t worry if your foot doesn’t come close to your hand. Then bring your right foot back to the starting position. Lift your left foot off the floor, bending your knee, and reaching your left toes to your right hand. Come back to the starting position. This completes one rep. Do three sets of 10 to 15 reps.
