Welcome to the midway point of February. It took me a minute to get this update together due to the birth of my son. Things have been hectic around here and between my in person clients and family life, it’s been a challenge to say the least.
Earlier this month I managed to get together a post that went into details on using a tracker and how sleep and recovery are directly impacted by external factors like having a newborn. This should be obvious, but sometimes having concrete evidence right in front of us can help us make more informed decisions.
The First Few Nights Post Partum
I think my wife stopped wearing a tracker mainly because it highlighted things she already knew about her sleep during our last post partum period. I’ve had other people who have poor sleep tell me that they hate wearables because it constantly reminds them how awful things are.

Happening the rest of this month
The rest of this month we’ll tackle more hip mobility and we’ll also focus on some knee related content. I know a lot of people have concerns about their knees and hips. Of course, if you walk, run or do anything with your legs in life then you likely have experienced some issue with one of these two joints.
Be on the lookout for new knee content.
Also, you still have a chance to join one of my Mobility Challenges. Simply shoot me a message and I’ll let you know how to get all signed up. *Paid Substack subscribers get a special promotional rate on all mobility challenges.
Knee Strength & Mobility Training
I get so many questions about training the knee joint and I think one of the most important things that everyone should know is that the knee rotates. I think this little known fact is where so many of us miss the mark.
October Mobility Snack: Intro to Knee Rotation
Rotation is the fundamental movement of your knee joint. Yes, I know most people will think isn’t it flexion and extension (bending) of the knee. In order for the knee to bend, the bones need to rotate well in relation to one another.
