This is a snapshot of my story and why I’m here today serving my veteran and first-responder community to the best of my ability with all the knowledge I’ve acquired over a fruitful yet painful career in the Canadian Infantry. I proudly served my country during the Afghan War on Operation Athena between November 2010 and July 2011. During that deployment, my back herniated, and my whole life changed. Why does this matter? It led me down a course of self-study and reflection, and I realized I had to figure out why I got injured in order to be able to fix myself. Helping to prevent injury or help rehab a fellow warrior is deeply important to me. This is why this book exists. In this book, I’ve compiled some of the best mobility exercises that I used to get myself out of my crippled state in my bed to being able to compete in the CrossFit Open, Spartan Races, and triathlons. I give full credit to the mobility god, Kelly Starrett of Mobility WOD and his incredible book, The Supple Leopard. If you find this book informative and helpful, then I highly recommend that you get a copy of his book because it’s a lifesaver.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction Winner of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature New York Times Bestseller Los Angeles Times Bestseller Named One of the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek, The Denver Post, BuzzFeed, Kirkus Reviews, and Publishers Weekly Named a "Must-Read" by Flavorwire and New York Magazine's "Vulture" Blog A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality—the black Chinese restaurant. Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens—on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles—the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: "I'd die in the same bedroom I'd grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that've been there since '68 quake." Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that's left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral. Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident—the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins—he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.
