June 9, 2014 I went in for knee surgery after years of injuries that would change my life. It’s been 10 years since and I took a look back in time at what happened, and what I learned about movement, fitness and health overall. All of these things are at the center of why I am a coach, why I care so deeply about fitness, and why I do what I do. 

I say this changed my life because of all the downstream and profound effects it had on me. It was a pretty rough recovery as I explain in the episode, and the culmination of pretty much the previous 10 years of injuries and setbacks. I didn’t think I would get emotional in this, but it almost got me right near the end. 

Expect to get the details of what happened, learn about some ways to navigate injuries and setbacks, some things I would do differently, decisions made during that were good, and some that weren’t. As well as what things look like now as far as training and regular maintenance of this injury. 

If there’s one take home message it is this: be extremely grateful for your ability to move your body, and cherish it every day. The best reason to move, is because you can.
