Your Monday Without a #
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Mondays of each month bring you new Ways to shake your thang, increase your flexibility, balance and strength, respectively. So what happens when the month has a 5th Monday? We invent a sport.
Stairway to Rainbows
Quite a stairway. 328 stairs. Quite a rainbow. If the sun's shining, it'll be there for you. Right at the base of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River. Amazing you can get to a place like this on your own two feet. The only way you can get there.

Let's start the week loose. Comfortable. Flexible. Because flexible muscles make everything easier and less tiring. Today's Way'll relax and stretch your lower back muscles. Make them feel and function better.
The Walk That Ate Madrid
A half-day Walk in one of the great walking cities of Europe. A few more hours to Eat great stuff in one of the world's great food capitals. Eleven miles. Eighteen kilometers. More than 1,000 calories burned. What a Way to sightsee.
Your Monday #34: Push! Up!

The Walk That Ate Denver
A wonderful and weird Walk. Wonderful because it's a great walking and eating city. Weird because it's the Mile High City, so you may feel like you're taking a high elevation hike when you're strolling the sidewalks with direct views of the Rocky Mountains.
Your Monday #33: Hamstrung
A 2-minute exercise to strengthen the muscles you use to balance yourself and stay on your feet - while you stretch and strengthen your hamstrings. Pretty great for just two minutes.
Glaciers: Get ’em while they’re frozen

Your Monday #32: Labor Day Dip
