Only one of these shoes has an "upper" that connects the shoe to the foot. Can you spot it?

We are making hundreds of choices about the way our bodies move each day. Most choices are made pretty mindlessly (we're not aware we're choosing) and other times we are choosing without being aware of the options. This is what my new book "Rethink Your Position" is trying to shed light on: our movement options.

P.S. Without a fully attached upper on your shoe, your feet and legs have to do the work (tighten certain "gripping" muscles, and change the way you walk) to keep them on. Just in case you didn't know that.

"I never went to the gym to work out. I went to learn. I ended up sweaty and tired, so you might say a workout happened, but it was in the process of learning."
–Dr. Ed Thomas

At StrongFirst, we view strength, endurance, power, and other athletic qualities as skills. Accordingly, we approach our training as a “practice,” not a “workout.” It will pay to acquire this mindset from the start.
