  • My Pandora has the following stations for workouts: Orgy, Justin Timberlake/Timbaland, Nero/Flux Pavillion, Parabola (TOOL), and Pendulum/Dieselboy. Depending on the day, I can either rock out, get down to some beats, or go all out with the D&B. :)

  • My two biggest issues with the jackknife were sweaty shins and poor balance. I try to wear workout pants now because no amount of towel drying will stop the sweat from sliding me right off every time. For the balance though, I have a yoga mat that I do the jackknife on. The mat seems to grip the ball and keep it from…
