Oh man you can actually see it go. Made me sick from my stomach to my knees.

Shore up the weaknesses.
I am trying to do just that, although I confess I kneed more self-knowledge.
3 weakness for me
1 right ankle stability and felxibility
2 ring finger on right hand prone to injury involving grip
3 right wrist fexibility
very small and petty list, but I don't want it to grow larger.

people take their health and non injuries for granted; don't, that can change in an instant.
