Sledding-Quading at Tamihi Creek in Chilliwack BC Canada

I was able to get out a few days ago with a bunch of my buddies and get some quading in at one of our favorite spot, Tamihi Creek in Chilliwack BC Canada. I was the first one of us to get a quad, a used 2007 Polaris Sportsman 500 EFI HO. And now three of my buddies all have brand new Polaris Sportsman's, two have the new 570 and one has a 400. To be honest they are a great bike for the money!

Well on this day, it had been snowing pretty much everywhere so it was expected to be riding in snow most of the time. It did restrict us a bit as to where we could ride since the higher we got up the mountain the deeper the snow got and once the snow starts to hit the undercarriage, it's pretty much game over on a quad, that's where you really need a sled (Snow Mobile). Most of the day it felt like we where ridding sleds as it was very slippery and you had to really be on top of the steering to keep the quads on the trails.

We did have to take it pretty easy and there where no major incidents other than when I ejected myself form my quad when it slid into a deep whole. Of course I found the only downed tree around to land on...

Fitness for Kids - Get Fit Over 40 Video Requests

This was kind of a different Get Fit Over 40 Video Request since it was in regards to "Fitness for Kids", and isn't this a fitness for people over 40 resource? Well the truth of the matter is that fitness and health is not as age related as some might think. The fundamentals of fitness an health are really all the same, the only difference is that as we get older, our lifestyles change a bit (time restrictions and reordering of priorities) and there can be physical limitations that will change some aspects of how we do fitness.

With that said I received this email Video Request:

"Hey there Mike,

It's the same kid (suppafx) who commented about the “videos for kids” on your Fitbit giveaway. This is something I would really love to see specially dedicated to our age group (13-15). I have never seemed to find videos for kids like me. (I’m a 14 year old guy). Most videos on YouTube usually talk about all this weight losing stuff but THERE IS A BUT, which is that they are dedicated to adults (protein shakes, this supplement, tough exercises). Let me tell you a little about my self and why I want to lose weight.

• I tend to eat for a hobby and not for hunger.
• My name is Gurnoor by the way.
• My choices are bad (pizza).
• I weight 170 pounds and I am 5’9’'.
• I am in high school so time is kind of tight (but recently I started my phys'ed course in high school)

I hope you make a video talking about weightless for teens like me and it would truly help make a positive change in my life. Thank you for your time and how your giving back to your viewers (giveaway)

-Gurnoor Sandhu"
