I just got on the floor and did the stretch. I want to try the shoes.

Thank you Mark!!!!!!
I sprint on the beach, and have never heard of these five fingers. I just ordered a pair.
I used the nike free model for a while but they did not last and did not feel right somehow.
So went back to barefoot. My cut up feet thank you in advance.
T.
Fun to watch video! I normally do about 5 to 6 sprints like that as well.
I’ve been using the five fingers for about 2 months. My feet must have changed size. My feet seem wider now as my existing shoes don’t fit anymore. Also, walking gate changed (walk on balls of feet). I have worn them around town and people really stare…even in San Francisco. People at work always ask me to wear them.
I love the foot-wear! Also, looking good Mark!!
Would someone be so kind as to put up a link where the shoes can be purchased. Thank you.

Thank you Sara.
Ole Grok sure never had six-pack abs walking the plains!!
Lookin good, Mark!
I’ve practiced that squat lots of times on my visits to Thailand; however, it had more to do with the type of plumbing facilities in my wife’s rural village rather than relaxing.
I live about 10 minutes from the beach but I normally only go to practice with my sand wedge. This sounds like a healthier option.
Thanks everyone. Try it out if you can (no beach necessary).
Woo-hoo, watching you sprint on the sand is much sexier than the Baywatch opening credits. You are so right about those squats. Maybe it’s ’cause I’m a heterosexual gal, but I much prefer to watch your abs ripple than see silicone bags bob up and down.
While living in Korea, I’d see senior citizens down on their haunches while waiting for a bus or just relaxing in a park. I wasn’t much of a squatter, but I did spent a lot of time sitting down and getting up off the floor.
great stuff. i can’t remember where i read it but there was a statement that went something like this “one reason why adults get fat is when they were kids they would run and when they became adults the started to jog.” that statement alone got me out sprinting again.
i wish i had a beach to run on. that looked like fun with those shoes. some advice though. try to relax when you sprint. a lot of people get tight and strained in their shoulders, neck, and face. it slow them down and causes undo stress on those muscles. keep your elbows down and let your cheeks bounce.
Am I crazy, or have you mentioned having grown children? Surely you are not old enough!!
That is a great video Mark. Great body too - it is obvious you practise what you preach.
I’ve posted the video on my hillfit.com pages to demonstrate what interval training looks like:

These videos are great - please keep posting!
[…] of your fitness level: the wide-legged squat. I vlogged about this last week, so check out my beach sprint video to see how to do it. This very natural stretch is practiced all over the world by many cultures. […]
I loved this video so much I posted the link to this site on my blog. The stretch is so simple and so true (I can’t do it by the way). Great stuff, keep it coming!
