golinux: i don't know the name of that woman (then i can search for her. And others can too).

You can read about her here. I post that with the disclaimer that although I LOVE her program, the site is not to my liking - I think she's gotten some bad advice along the way. It's too corporate/commercial for me and also a little out of date. She's probably too busy to keep it well maintained.

(Did you not look at the links I PM'd you? Her name was all over those.)

Ah, the links at vimeo and youtube. No, i didn't go there yet (was busy with the videos you uploaded and sports in general).
Miranda Esmonde-White.
Good. (right?, if not, let me know).

You crack me up. First laugh in days.
Someone has to say it, and as my repu is shit anyway let it be me: camel-toe (case closed now, k?).

I'd love to see a vid of you doing it. If possible with according clothes. just-above-the-knee-style skirt and high-heels, for example.

I feel slightly bad for the joke i made, so let me add something useful:

I started to skate 24.12.2013
During two weeks i had to use crutches (yes, you guess right).
It is getting better, day by day.
I am not able to do cool tricks (say an ollie or pop-shove-it) yet, but i feel more comfortable on the board (and am training easy tricks).
The videos given by golinux help me to get in a better shape in general (+ the excercises i already know and driving a lot of bicycle).
Today i will check out my new shoes (They were pretty cheap, i said i want the most cheap ones, and i looked so lousy that they donated a magazine to me. Lol. Or they were just impressed that an old fart is having at it).

The good news (or bad?):
I am still alive and nothing is broken yet.

The excercises by golinux help me to keep the pain in knees and haunches (hips?) bareable.
Those and my own help me to get more flexible too (more slow than i would hope, but hey: i am old).
I am not that sure if i still loose weight, but as long i am flexible i don't care that much
(I replaced sugar with honey, gave up on coffee and use tea instead and try to eat only a bit meat. Besides that i started to eat organic rise. I do eat sweeties, as long i got them).

Regarding skating: I feel slightly more comfortable on the board (To give easy times to my knees and hips i learn to skate both ways: left foot on the tail and right food on the tail. Left on the tail doesn't work well, but helps me to reduce the pain and gives a better overall-balance).

I am at this trick right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGsVPJmUOBg Way more difficult than it looks like done by the dude.

Not that anything of such would belong on a Linux board.

Anyone can add any other stories about sport. Or porn. Or whatever he thinks fits here.

That is good news.

Flexibility takes time and patience. Just relax into the stretches and never, ever force a movement.

Everything is relative . . . (says one who was your age over 30 years ago)

Those foot exercises will really help you do this move.

I agree on all points.
I would say that for my age (and my way of life) my fitness is ok, but sure: it is relative (and i sure could be way more fit if i wouldn't have done so bad to me for the last 3 years. It was a good time anyway, btw).

Good that you've changed your ways. You will reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle as you get older. I may post some more clips for you off and on.
