Paleolithic Solutions Seminar - April 10, 2010

Hoboken, NJ

This was my second time seeing Robb present and I'm looking forward to going again sometime. Robb does a great job mixing the science with real world analogies that make this stuff easier to digest (pun intended). Robb's site is a great resource for all things fitness and nutrition related.

While it required leaving the house at 4:15 am and getting home after midnight (thanks for riding with me Victoria!), I would definitely do it again.

"Functional movements...are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over distances, and to do so quickly."
