In this vintage picture on the left, where Szymon flies in DH race. Do I see boy with trumpet? Really?! I need to see this live so much in my next race!!!

@yoga15app: Regarding what Wandoo said. To be honest, there are two obstacles for me in your videos, but they seems to come within me. Both came from my lack of English proficiency. This might be true for some other people so I will leave it here for some potential reference. 1) I love your way of explaining your routines in pictures and written words, but sometimes it is difficult to know how exactly some moves should be made. I sometimes have difficulties to connect moves with words. To know how some body parts should move - especially those hidden not only by insufficient collection of pictures from different angles, but also covered with skin. I can give you few examples from my recent try: - "bring your feet together in the shape of a diamond" - how does diamond shape look like (I mean: I know how diamonds look like and I know their structures from Kittel's "Introduction to Solid State Physics" book, but couldn't translate this to any body parts position)? I'm being retarded so don't take my words as any indicator. The rest of folks here might picture proper position in their heads just from your words. I couldn't see it in your picture, so I googled and found it. - how many pillows are there under your legs and are they connected? Solution: as above. - "Notice how your shoulders roll outwards in their sockets" - this one puzzles me the most. I still do not know how to do it. I'm to tense and there is no way for my shoulders to move by themselves. What does it mean "outwards"? From which perspective? Around which axis? And which direction? I can move them there but need to know how... I think that pictures with some arrows would work great. Maybe additional diagrams? Don't know how you see it, but I would prefer for you not to make changes only for one person. As I said: I'm being retarded so might be alone with this problem. This one I tried to overcome by buying Pocket Yoga, but there is no Reclining Butterfly there. Beside this - there are lots of poses and great pictures in said app. 2) While I love - and many Polish people do love - English accent, it is one of the hardest one to understand. It is some kind of paradox: We love in, while having difficulties with understanding it. I overcome this by going several times through one exercise and doing it without your assistance from my memory. Unfortunately, It's not in your power to change this. And I am seriously jealous of those, who can go with the flow. I did not found any app to give me good flow and am to lousy and unorganised to do real life yoga classes. ;] Besides I think that, nevertheless what brings other to your routines - being an eye candy to some or an coincidence of giving solution to the problems our type of people suffer, just to name first examples that spring to my mind - you're doing great service to many people here. Regards!

@TheR: I think your way of thinking is quite logical, but I have another theory, based on my experience and observations (are they identical and therefore redundant? my vocabulary and familiarity with English language seems insufficient). There is one Polish magazine - "Bike Board" - where one can find series of exercises prepared by very attractive girl (look for: Marta Bosy). There is no feedback and no comments section. Yet there are people, who follow those instructions. I think that main reason behind this motivation is our masculine pride, where we - male sapiens - will not be worse than some female in this matter, with some childish need of movement added. But I might be wrong. ;] There are also well prepared pictures, they are fast, they promise good effects and (I will repeat) can be done by "fragile" girl. :] As for exercises prepared by men. I have one routine prepared by my male physician and - MAN - that thing leaves me exhausted! They should be warm ups, but when I finish (if done properly, after ONE HOUR!), I need some time to regenerate my forces. All above does not negate truism, that attractive people have easier life. Being chivalrous, and treating girl the way she deserves may seem like support for your thesis, but there are those that were raised to treat females better than their sex. Especially when she gives us her time and work, when she cares about us. That's the way I see it. I don't know, if you agree or if it seems to you like some misoginistic way of thinking, but that's the way I was raised and that's the way I feel good and will be going through my life. And I believe (again: I might be wrong), that this is natural and undisturbed way of thinking, observed among many cultures (take Tuaregs, for example, where one might mistakingly think "Muslim = oppression of females"). Fantasies that some anonymous person in different corner of the World can pick up or get attention of some girl from internet, from other distant corner of the World seems to me like total waste of time (except when masturbating - I think), because it is more effective to be knight in your neighbourhood and pick up girl from similar level of Abi looks (subjective topic - there should be some statistically unimportant group of people, for whom Abi is absolute top choice in terms of looks). And by the way, I might look like some white knight, but I have girlfriend, that has similar look, but I can touch her, I can kiss her, and I will fall asleep while holding hands in some short time. And for sure she will tell me "I love you", which cannot be said about Abi. :] Cheers Earthling!

This thing here! It's the answer for my last nights trips around hospitals for some serious painkillers. I couldn't sleep until I got some strong dose of Ketonal at 4:30 in the morning... It's bookmarked and when I come home from todays obligatory meeting, I'm doing this from A to Z. Thank you, Abi!

Wait... No comments? At least one thing needs to be said: Abi, thank you for all your care and work you share with us - riders. I have gained very helpful knowledge and am discovering some new ways of moving and caring about my health.
