MDY Gaiden – 12 Hours of Rock Band Days 1 & 2

This is most likely going to be an ongoing thing. Also for those of you new to the Gaiden videos, it’s basically goofy stuff or other loosely-related things that wouldn’t quite make a regular Move Damn You episode.

When three Asian dorks and their powers combine. Highlights from 5/27/13.

Gene once again mangles the song of his people (Total Eclipse of the Heart) while Dan and Larry laugh for a full minute. Highlights from 6/15/13.

Checking Your Ambition & Setting A Good Example [Ep.75]

Goal Tracker 2013 – May [Ep.74]

May was just chock full of circumstances and we’re not even half done with the year. Funny how nothing ever works out exactly how you’d like it to.

A Tribute To Emily Mayne [Ep.73]

A dancer and teacher, too blunt and hilarious for this life. I only knew her for six years but she had a profound influence on me. She also always supported the show and everything I wanted to do.

A 5 Minute Plank Challenge [Ep.72]

Larry talks about his road to achieving a 5 minute plank, also shows Davis surpassing that time with ease. Dangit.

Why Counting Calories Works [Ep.71]

Brandon Fisher (32) explains the how & why of counting calories, why the body plateaus, and the importance of staying active as a father.

Goal Tracker 2013 – April [Ep.70]

Sometimes I think that somebody is crazy and then I remember they’ve been that way the whole time. Life is funny.

Why Getting Older Isn’t So Bad [Ep.69]

With the most important moral (OF ALL TIME) at the end.

Welcome to the archive!

MDY was a weekly fitness show that ran from 2011-2013. The reasons for its current hiatus:

  1. In the beginning I decided to do weekly shows for as long as I could hack it and ultimately there was nothing else to do or say that wasn’t done to death. Good fitness advice is always the same proven ideas.
  2. For months I had several people lined up for interviews who never made time to meet despite how flexible I made the arrangements.
  3. I had hundreds of subscribers and only a few dozen viewers with each new episode which meant most of those subs were likely bots.

Despite all that it was clearly a fun time as an experiment. Met a lot of great people, had some big laughs, learned some inspiring things. Also it’s not like I’m ever stopping with fitness so I might throw up a new video now and again. I make the occasional post on Instagram.

Deciding How Old You Want Yourself To Be [Ep. 68]

Jenny Quezada Ghiglia (59) has taught dance & fitness at Pierce College for 35 years and had two daughters and three knee surgeries over that time. Needless to say she has a lot of experience to share regarding her longevity.
