- I won't be doing any more thru-hiking content. Thanks to all of you who joined my channel for this specifically but I'm done. I'll still be doing hiking, skiing, climbing and mountaineering stuff. But I'm done with thru-hiking and this is why.

huge respect to those who are ruthless with protecting their time and passions. good on you brother
Couldn't help but think of you Kraig, when he was talking about how difficult it is to be in the moment and also film.
I cant't understand this need for the general population to go into crazy levels of specialization: Rock climbers, Hikers, through hikers, Sunday hikers, mountaineers, traditional alpinists, speed alpinists, trail runners, bushcrafters, mountain bikers and the list goes on...
If you find beauty in nature and moving, go to nature and move. There is no need to give yourself a specific label.
Yeah, but those things are an activity, not a label.
@@johan.ohgren exactly... I wouldn't say "I'm a classical mountaineer and trail runner and trad climber and etc. etc.". Just "climber" or "hiker" is enough. I barely know anyone who does only one discipline anyway.
Yeah, I was on a 566 mile hike this summer - first time I've done anything like that. I met a couple of hikers on my very last day as it turned out, who embodied the whole idea of being out there without a label: they were excited to be on the trail (they had actually just started on the day I was ending) and in our discussions I realized they were gung ho and encouraging of everyone - day hikers, weekenders, through hikers, anyone out enjoying the outdoors in any capacity. It was refreshing after some people I met (very rare, but they do exist) who think that if you're not doing it their way (and quite literally for some that meant not only going end-to-end, but going in the same direction as them) then you shouldn't be allowed on the trail.
@@johan.ohgren If it is just an activity that's amazing!
But if I name my self trail runner for example, this means that I wanna belong now to a group of people who are very fast on the mountain. So, it is quite possible that as I run and feel the need to stop and embrace the landscape, I am not going to do it, because I am competing with some imaginary numbers in my watch. Because these numbers give me the passport to calling my self a trail runner. Because this is what makes me part of a community. Because this is how I acquire self worth.
The difference between activity and label is usually subtle.
@@edessajayd Sounds like you need to hang out with better people man. There are those types in every hobby not just outdoors ones.
Massive respect. You always stood out to me as one of the most straightforward and bullshitless people in the outdoorsy youtube world and you only just confirmed that for me. Keep it up and have fun!
agreed. I watch a ton of other videos when I search by subject. this is the only one out of probanly 50 i visit, that I am subscribed to
Totally get this. Thru-hiking is kind of like the graduate school of backpacking. You learn a ton about gear and how to carry it most efficiently, about how your body handles physical challenges, and most importantly, understanding the overwhelming importance of the mental game to success. Just like graduate school some will get their PhD and want to stay in academia. Those are the few that want to make it their life. The rest of us will take what we learn and move on to other pursuits and adventures. Kudos for being true to yourself.
That’s a pretty good analogy! Thru hiking has been a steep learning curve for sure
I love that you are setting boundaries and reasonable expectations for yourself. I'm over 50, and I started watching your channel to work on increasing strength and improving techniques. I was significantly overweight, and I have some muscoskeletal issues with my feet, knees and hips. Over the past 20 months, I've lost a great deal of weight and really improved my hiking skills. What probably seems like a light jaunt for a lot of younger, stronger hikers is something that maxes out my abilities. For example, I went from going about 1 mi and 300 ft at the start of my hiking progress to being able to go >10 mi and >1500 ft. These are pretty small stats compared to your thru hiking ventures. I'm quite proud of what I've done, though.
I guess my point is, is that I never anticipate doing a thru hiking project. I've gained a significant amount of knowledge from you and I've greatly increased my strength and endurance as well as technique at an age when many people are scaling back on physical activity. I'm really grateful for the content you make, and owe some of my happiness and success to the work you do here. Thanks!
dude!!! go get em, tiger!
I'm almost 50 and have a whole host of back issues. a through hike is my dream, but i don't know that it will ever definitely happen. but you have inspired me. seriously. I mean, girl... look at you! you're going TEN TIMES AS FAR. plus, just starting is awesome. that first ten feet can be harder and take longer than any of the others for a lot of us. I hope it's not condescensing to say I'm super proud of you
People aren't scaling back on physical activity!
Never been interested in through hiking. However, what I am interested in, is hiking to the top of a mountain, and take in the view. So, in that way your channel has been an inspiration. All the information you have provided about training and stretching have been great, and although I don’t get to do all the training I’d like, it’s still very useful. I look forward to whatever content you would like to share in the future. All the best from Norway 🇳🇴.
As a thru hiker might say “hike your own hike”. I have always felt your best content was the physical stuff which probably reflects your passions. I’m too old to start mountaineering so won’t be watching that but will continue to check out the physical and mental preparation material. You’re spot on with that.
Stoked for you! I think you’ll do great. Your videos are already really engaging! I wish I had that athleticism to climb and ski in the mountains like that! 😂
Cheers Dan. Likewise. Also... what makes you think you don't have the athleticism? If you wanna do it, you have 2 legs, for sure you could do it. Same goes for anyone reading this, don't let the elite appearance of these things hold you back, its easier than you think.
Let's get Dan into mountaineering!
@@youreaphagatron in his jeans!
@@RoyceKitts LOLOLOL
I mean, I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it; I have 2 legs, sure, but I also have 6 spinal fractures + a spinal cord injury. Just trying to get into short-distance day-hiking is kind of the peak of my realistic ambition, given that on my bad days, I straight-up have to use a wheelchair.
BUT Dan should definitely do it! As should anyone else who's able-bodied & interested.
Go for it, guys.
This is only the second video of yours I have watched. The first was the "What they don't tell you about barefoot shoes." That's not really my interest but I left with a feeling of "I like this guy, I'll subscribe." Then I watched this video. The backpacking/outdoors and especially recently the fitness mobility is a big interest of mine and I now had a feeling of "Wow, I really like this guy. I don't care whatever his content is about, I think I'll enjoy whatever content he is creating." So with that said, you've got another subscriber and I am looking forward to watching your prior and future videos, whatever they are about. You do you.
I wish you the best of luck Chase. You reached the thruhike summit, what's left are experience, knowledge and memories. Now it is time to move to another challenge, another summit. Good luck 🤙
I deeply appreciate what I've learned from you in the last 2 years, and I love seeing your passions evolve. I'm 66 now, working daily to find ways to maintain a level of flexibility and fitness and mobility... your videos, the time and care you put into them, have been a source of inspiration and motivation. When you start up a team of Old Dudes still doing it, within the limitations age has imposed upon their bodies... THAT's the Team I will beg to join.
I'll let you know what I think about thru hiking...
Planning AT March thru September 2022...a 65 yrs old bday gift to myself...
Your videos have inspired physical awareness and have enjoyed every video...
Will be fun to see where you go from here
Respect for your decision. It's easy to fall into a routine of trying to live up to the expectations of others. But it's a different level to trust your guts and move on. Really enjoy your videos and your style. Learnt heaps from elements and your morning routine is a game changer. Will definitely stick around. 👍
Good for you, looking forward to the next chapters to come.
Thank you for giving your time to us too!
As a yet to be thru-hiker and film-maker, I found this be incredibly helpful and even inspiring. Basically, do what you love to do, create what you love to create and don't worry so much what people are expecting of you.
Totally understand. Started making videos about countryside walks I was doing with my partner and after a few realised we weren't enjoying the hikes nearly as much, instead thinking about the narrative, have we got this shot, how are batteries on the mics, etc etc. I love watching the videos back, but there is definitely quite a high cost involved in turning your relaxation/happy place/spiritual moments into content. Good luck with the new direction man.
I used to get numb feet whenever I would walk 1km, now thanks to your exercises, I can do 26km in 5hrs, which might not be a lot for some, but it's a huge achievement for me. Thanks man, your content changed my life. Currently training to hike and scramble up Mt Olympus in Greece next July.
Don't compare yourself to others. Only compare yourself to who you were yesterday and try to be better tomorrow than you are today.
Happy hiking.
Kudos! Glad to see you continue evolving and being authentic. I see you as more than only a thru hiker and actually have been surprised in recent months that you’ve been sticking to that ouvre. There’s plenty of other channels out there already doing that, and personally that doesn’t hit the mark for me. I like your focus on the body and conditioning…use it for whatever pursuit you’d like! Also, good idea to work on your skiing, I think it needs it 😀
Cheers man. Yeah I agree with the skiing! Here’s to a big winter hopefully
Yeah the world def doesnt need anymore fuckin Darwins 😂
You've done a great job articulating my fears with making hiking videos. Hope it works for the best!
"I learned what I needed to and I'm ready to move on" - I always loved your teachings about preparing the body for the hike most, so I'm really excited for you! Can't wait to see what you'll learn (and teach) next 🙂
Just found this vid, never seen any of your other stuff. I thought i'd give my view on thru-hiking. I've gone full circle from thru-hiker to landscape photographer where i was based for years in one area and I've now gone back to thru-hiking - well that's the plan if we get through Covid. I'm 50 years old now, I've been incredibly fortunate to work very infrequently in my life. I got into thru-hiking and loved it, but one day I realised that when you have only so much food to get you from A-B you kind of feel like you cannot stop. If you get to a beautiful location you have to keep moving. In a way it's almost like being on a bus tour where you're only allowed off the bus for 15 minutes at at time and everything is rushed. I certainly felt like that while hiking the PCT and CDT. It's a bit easier in Europe because there's usually more opportunities to buy food. I decided to slow down and so I got into landscape photography. I literally spent three years in one mountain range. I've come to realise that nobody gives a damn about your photography because everyone thinks everyone fakes pictures. I also realised that unless you live in a mansion you're unlikely to want more than a half dozen photographs. For this reason I want to get back into thru-hiking. I plan to hike more European hikes including the Red and Purple trails of the Via Alpina. I'd also like to do the GR11. There's also a few more bicycle tours left in me. I think I'll be a vagabond for life. At the end of the day we're all incredibly lucky to have these options open to us.
I have been watching your channel for about 3 years and will continue to watch. I have appreciated, and learned a lot, watching your journey. Life is a journey. I believe that if we let our life journey stagnate we can then get depressed and then just spiral down physically, emotionally and mentally. You talk about keeping our joints healthy with good mobility so that we can age long and well doing what we want to be able to do in the mountains. I believe that keeping our life journey moving forward, learning and doing new things, is what helps us to age well mentally and emotionally. I am about to turn 61 and am using a lot of your mobility exercises to keep my joints healthy. My husband and I retire in a year and our goal is to thru-hike and bikepack and just keep moving and adventuring outside. Have you heard of the TRX? I have been using the TRX in conjunction with a lot of your mobility exercises. I feel it allows me full body movement with the resistance of my body. Anyway, keep up the great journey! I have shared your channel with a lot of people.
Mad Respect for You MASTER🙌 To say I am done and actually doing something about it proves how MENTALLY & EMOTIONALLY STRONG you truly are. I do LIGHT hiking locally here in BAJA CALIFORNIA MEXICO and stumbled upon your channel when I was looking for hiking exercises. I look forward to learning MORE from your future endeavors as I have from your past. Godspeed Amigo🙏
Such a good point about you don’t want to be living for the trail and dreaming of the future or past. I feel that so much that in the mean time I don’t do anything to excite myself between days, I need to find joy again in day hikes and mountain days! Great video speaking truths!
Well, I've never hiked for months straight, but my heart aches 24/7 for the trail 😅.
But it's true that documenting everything has to be painful. When I hike I just want NOT TO look at my electronics...
I say YES for a few pictures, but GOD NO if I were asked to make a movie.
This is my opinion so far on the topic 😉
Awesome pivot! Keep following your heart and sharing what you learn.
Life version of “hike your own hike”, respect. I found your channel to help me prep my body for hiking. Thank you
Your videos are awesome and informative. I started watching because I love spending time on the trails in various ways as well. Some overlap with what you do and some don't, but I love learning from and talking to anyone else who enjoys the trails and the mountains no matter how that is, because it makes me feel an automatic connection, and we can learn A LOT from people who enjoy the wilderness differently than we do.
I also appreciate that this wasn't a stupid click bait title saying you quit, but then nothing is actually changing. Seems like that's pretty popular now. Just an honest update.
Looking forward to the future content!
What a hoot seeing all that old footage of you with short hair! That was your look back when I first met you. Seriously though, I love watching your videos, they are engaging, I appreciate the content from a photographers point of view, and I also learn from them. I'm excited to see where you head next... changing tack seems to be a common thread in a few of my adventurous creative friends. It's natural progression, it's how we grow and evolve, it's how we keep our creativity and stoke alive.
Looking forward to all the climbing and mountaineering stuff. You rock, Chase!
I started hillwalking then mountaineering and now do more section hiking. I don't think I have the time for through hiking. Luckily I learnt the skills for the mountains when I was young and have never wanted or needed a guided tour.
Your plans are great. Get people prepped and teach them skills they can use. Best of luck for the future
I started following you because of your knee videos. As a day hiker it's helped me so much. It used to be that my knees would hurt after a 4-5 mile hike, but now I can hike up to 8-10 miles without any knee pain. I look forward to try to start backpacking next year. That said, I'm interested in anything that's related to exploring the outdoors, whether it's skiing, rock climbing, or something else. So whatever content you make, I'll still be here for it
Good for you!!! I love your videos. I have learned so much fron them!! And you've inspired me to test myself through the medium of hiking long distances. Thank you!! At the same time, it is very brave to keep reinventing yourself when you are already successful at something. Thank you for being a leader and inspiring everyone to take the next challenge and keep growing!!
Full respect for your decision. Still hope to see the HRR doc one day. Lot’s of succes with your business!!
Good on ya!! Do what you love and are passionate about. I’ll keep watching. Your videos helped me a lot with IT band recovery. Following your advice made a huge difference and my next multi day hike went well with no problems whatsoever. Thank you very much!!
I appreciate this update! I think you are so good at sharing how to train to prevent injury so I’m glad that is still part of your plan. I think you need to do what is interesting to you!
What an insightful talk, what you are experiencing feels like a natural progress, maybe (quit) is a harsh word you have just turned a page and started a new chapter of your life, your channel's materials is quite valuable and useful to hiking/ mountaineering enthusiast.
Wish you all the best with your upcoming plans
Hello mate. I finished the GR11 three weeks ago with the weather chasing me to the finish. (Great to see Refugio de Llauset again. Same stew 😆) I'm pushing 50 and had never done more than a few days hike at a time before. I genuinely don't think I could have done it without resources such as, and especially, your channel. Want to thank you very much, and wish you all the best in your coming endeavours. Cheers man!
Thank you. Your balanced perspective is very important to prepare people. 99% of all social media content is clickbait
Great honesty, when you’ve got time I would love to see your HPR route, good luck with your future adventures 👍
I hope it's a clickbait, this guy literally inspired me to quit job for the Mountains.
probably clickbait. amount of hiking content wont change. just no more thru hikes for him
Hey Thanks always great videos appreciate all that you have shared brother and god bless
You can still live your dream just because someone’s had theirs and moved on!
Good luck in your next endeavors Chase. You inspired me so much and for that I am thankful/grateful! It's your life, make yourself happy & no regrets!
I just want to thank you for creating inspiring content and wish you all the best
Thanks for the information shared and good luck on the future!!
i appreciate what you're doing, and look forward to more relatable content - as a short trip solo day-hiker on low-use forested trails, who tends to pack heavy, your videos have been lovely to watch but not necessarily relatable, with the distinct exception of the strengthening and stretching stuff, which i really appreciate!
keep making things you like and enjoy producing!
Very excited to see your future content which focuses on preparing the body for hikes! This is what made me start following you. Good luck on your future projects. You’ve helped me unbelievably. 😁
I was initially disappointed at the video caption as I loved your thru-hiking content, but now just excited to see your other adventures in the mountains. Have fun!
Wishing you all the best in your next adventure,,, I have learned a lot from your experience and wisdom and will continue to follow your journey. Thanks!
Ahh, another honest Aussie. Our path is often windy, smooth, a bit rough, but so worth it. After 7 pilgrimages in Spain and Portugal, 4000klms, many great memories, I am planning 3 more in April, May 2022. Afterall, I'm only
68 y o. Go well.....love
Congratulations, I love when people make decisions that works best for them.
My partner and I are preparing for the West Coast Trail in Canada. 7 days - when you said your longest thru hike was 7 days at the beginning of the video it gave me a chuckle. We are utilizing some of your work out videos to prepare and get out bodies prepared.
Cheers 🍻
Wishing the best for you in all your endeavors!
Thank you so much for your videos that you have made sharing your knowledge. I am very grateful!
Exciting times! All the best Chase. I'm sure your content will be as amazing as it has been, if not more :)
Enjoy the process! I've been waiting for skiing videos for the last couple years.. can't wait!
Thank you for the valuable contribution you have made to helping so many of us prepare for our outdoor adventures. Good luck with your own upcoming adventures. I hope you will continue to share your knowledge and wisdom about preparing the body for all the activities that we enjoy. Your desire to be in the moment and not just live for the next thru-hike is one that I share and find admirable.
Love your perspective & excited to see your future journey. It sounds great and your content on preparing to be in the Mts is fantastic! 👏
Ahh dude I'm so stoked for you! I always wondered if recording everything didn't take away from the experience.. can't wait to see what you get up to next. I started to follow you bc I'd like to get into long distance hiking but wasn't sure where to start planning gear etc. I'm happy that the videos you made on those topics will always still he available (they are a bloody gold mine) and have no doubt that what you'll do next be just a captivating to follow! 🤗
Awesome! very excited to see the different videos you will make as I used to love hiking and am now getting more into climbing and Mountaineering too! Keep up the great content :)
Enjoy your journey 🏃♀️🌅🏃♀️
I have loved watching your videos. I’m 65 and love the mountains. But the downhills are tough on knees. Look forward to watching more videos on strengthening my body. You are truly inspiring!
Awesome man! I'm stoked to along for the journey... I love Trail running ATM and you have inspired me to get out in my local NZ mountains and I'm loving it! looking forward to some new and different content.
Looking forward to see where your new direction takes you. Good luck, man!
Good for you! When something turns from "fun" to "chore", it's time to stop doing it!
Your exercise advice (and winning personality) is what sets you apart, and I look forward to many more great videos from you!
The problem with that is that people won't give me a lot of money for just doing things that are fun.
Which is really obvious when you think about it for a second.
Best of luck, Chase. I always enjoy your videos and insight and look forward to learning more from you regarding conditioning.
That's brilliant mate thanks for your time and consideration I'll keep on keeping on
More power to you on your journey in life, we all have trails in life that intertwine and occasionally meet up momentarily. You've inspired, taught, and challenged yourself and others. I'm glad I found you, but honestly not sad that you'll be doing something else. Keep doing what brings you joy is the key to lifes happiness!!!
Great content - really enjoyed watching - truly inspirational to the end. Good luck with your next projects/adventures...
Thanks for all the past content, helped me and a few other people I know. Still excited to see some of your mountaineering and climbing content.
You have help me a lot. You got me out there. You really gave me good knees Thanks you a lot ❤️
Excellent news! I've never through hiked but always found your content useful. Esp the exercises. It'll be great to see content around the variety of outdoors things you decide to do. Even if your content pivots more and more towards experience of coaching, it's going to be good.
I feel like I'm in a similar spot. Used to love multi-day hikes in my younger years but as we get older, time seems to become more and more valuable. Doing anything in the outdoors I feel is good for the soul, no need to classify it. Thanks for the work and effort you put into this great content. All the best!
You do you. Never thought of you as just a thru hiker. You are so much more than that. Thanks for everything you have provided in the past and I will follow any of your future videos.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congratulations on your new adventures.
That took guts. Good luck on your journey and you have a loyal sun here. Happy Non Thru-Hiking 🥾- Julia from the UK 🇬🇧
Just found your channel.
100% with you.
I love making my video's for my CZcams channel on the Bibbulmun Track, & showing everyone what is out there and what to look out for.
Once I finish my sectional end to end North to South, I would love to do a thru hike South to North just for me.
You have to follow your hearth.
All the best
Clive
Wishing you continued success. So happy for you. I’ve enjoyed your content and I know I will enjoy your new content.
It's not easy to make those decisions, I love your content and I am super excited to see what you'll come up with next!
Love your authenticity. Disappointed to not be getting any more hiking vids, but completely respect where you’re at. 🙏🏽
I appreciate your perspective, have been watching your training videos and am looking forward to more. At 58, I’m not aspiring to be a new mountaineer, but I love the outdoors, skiing, hiking, backpacking, and yes, some sort of through hike is on my list. I wish to get my body into the best shape I can to be able to continue to do the things I love. I’m sure there are many older folks just like me. Think about that as you prep your training videos. We’re a huge audience, not necessary huge vloggers. I understand why you want to move on. Experienced this. Check. Conquered that. Check. Now onto the next. I have done the same throughout my life, for better or worse as I find I haven’t stayed around a job or project, 5 years tops, long enough, basically out of boredom, once I’ve learned what is to be learned from it. I don’t have the nest egg, or stuff or retirement savings from a decades long career, but I have the experiences and the memories and that is my true wealth.
I have a good knee thanks to you! You’ve no idea how serious I am. Thanks and look after yourself. Respect 👍👍👍
Honest with yourself and others. Cool. I look forward to seeing your new content. Best to keep it fresh for both yourself and the viewers I reckon.
Really enjoyed your thru hiking videos, but it's so cool to see you being authentic and folowing your passion. Nothing better than this!
Good luck, I can't wait to see upcoming videos 👊
love your channel it helped me through a knee injury. It was you're and a few other creators that helped me start again at 1/2 my block walking, the injury was so bad that's all I could do. I still can't go more than 5km yet but my determination is good. I'm hoping to get out for snow shoeing this winter. Thank you. Love your content in all it's forms.
Love this video Chase. Truly authentic, and appreciate your passion for being outdoors...and just being. Valued the bit about how sometimes the effort to record the hike took away from simply being present. A lesson that can be used for many aspects of life! Beautiful. Kudos to you!
Huge respect man!, keep doing you! X
Looking forward to seeing the mountaineering stuff
Strangely enough, this is the first video of yours I've seen :) But good for you. You don't have to keep doing the same thing over and over, why would you? While something excites and thrills you, do that. But there will come a time to move on. All the best for your future activities. Now I can explore all your other videos! :)
Definitely gonna miss that content, your GR11 series is so inspiring, but you do what you gotta do, won't stop watching your videos :D
I admire and respect the life that you have created. Love the videos.
Happy to have found you
Lori 🇨🇦
My girlfriend, daughter (8yo) and me just started camping and hiking here in Germany as one of the most sustainable forms of vacation and so I found your videos when I went down the CZcams research rabbithole :)
Seems like i found you just in the right moment!
Now I am really looking forward to your expertise and experience in a much more holistic context!
good for you...best insight was the difference between capturing vs being present and experiencing...looking forward to more variety of your mountain activities and corresponding training, especially skimo
It's really refreshing to hear someone speak so sincerely and speak so uninhibited on the internet. It's a shame you've lost that passion, but I'm so happy it's because you're transitioning and moving forward to better things. I aspire to be as intune and focused as you seem to be right now. You know what you want and you are willing to take the steps to take it. Big hats off, because a lot of us struggle. I hope going forward you find as much (if not more by the sounds) enjoyment from your upcoming projects and I'm really excited to watch you smash it :D
Looking forward to the content you're going to release! Doing my first thru hike coming summer (GR11) but completely feel you with regard to other mountain stuff. I am also climbing, skiing and looking forward to some day exploring alpinism. The mountains have so much to offer!
Niiiice!
Totally understand your decision. Looking forward to the future content, which sounds reallly useful for my hikes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Kia ora Chase, thanks for your openness and honesty in sharing where you're at and how this affects your channel content going forward. Cheers to you for acknowledging what you're excited about doing, and not, and listening to yourself.
You have a wealth of knowledge about strengthening the body for outdoor adventures and I continue to look forward to all that you have to share.
Thank you.
I admire your bravery to change gears. After all we only have one life to live… You have to do what makes you happy and fulfilled. Excited for your future!
Super honest conversation about life. The trail takes in so many different directions. Good for you in know thyself. Have a blast out there.
I have so much respect for you. Thank you for teaching me and thank you for being true to yourself ❤️
I just found your channel and I’m super excited to see some of your tips for getting my body prepared better for my hikes. Maybe you could do one for us older hiking and knee pain? I look forward to going through your channel today and watching other footage! Have a great weekend
First yes continue to follow, second life does change and our ideas of what is exciting to us changes as well that’s part of life. Thank you for putting this out there helping others to understand you did a great job and you’ll continue to do a great job in your other endeavors. I’ve done backpacking trips before, turning 60 at the end of January 2 days later I will be putting my first steps on the Appalachian trail hope to do a full through hike. I have start another channel for that called AlongATrail and as you stated and other people have stated to me do not be a slave to CZcams and recording content, they have said enjoy the Adventure. Again thank you for all your content
Thank you for sharing! #respect 💯 🙏🏽
I am so grateful for the wealth of information you are sharing on your channel which I just found I have been very frustrated dealing with my personal trainers
