“Paleo” Is Nothing New
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Evolution, Health & Wellness, Perspective on May 6, 2013
Many people consider the Paleo diet and lifestyle a fad and a somewhat new fantasy about imitating a cavemen-like existence, trying to live more like our “healthier” ancestors before technology, industry and mass food production.

Last night was a long night. Got to bed late (10:30) and then shortly after 11 the power in our neighborhood went out. Not usually a problem if you’re sleeping unless it happens to scare two of your young kids who won’t go back to sleep (thankfully the baby slept through all the commotion! he’s […]
Dabbling in CrossFit
Posted by Kyle Knapp in Fitness, Perspective on June 5, 2012

Move Naturally & Connect My new favorite piece of exercise equipment… The Tree I have always liked the tree in my front yard. Perfect little branches for swinging on, doing pull ups or just climbing.

Move Naturally, Connect & Enjoy Yesterday I went to the park to do some sprinting and gymnastics work. I ended up running through the sprinklers.
