Hey Mwod Gang,

Today’s piece is simple: Collect 10 minutes in the bottom of a relaxed butt to ankle-paleo chair-Squat.
Protect your knees when you have to stand up.
Do this after your workout.

    This makes the fronts of my shins spazz out. Indicative of tight heel cords?

    Todd,

    Probably yes. Your tibialis anterior muscles are trying to pull your whole body forward (I experience this too). In the last Paleo Chair episode, Kstar recommends performing the mobs shown in the following MWOD:

    Much of the movie is "silent" I think because the microphone was covered up, but someone wrote the transcript in the comments (user AB1).

    Did this last night. Started out with some ankle, hip flexion and extension, and groin mobs. Then I got into it.

    I had to hold onto a banister and took three breaks.

    Benjamin, thanks for the tip. Skipped that one the first time around due to the dodgy sound. Turns out it's exactly what I need.
