In his words, he’s trying to create a “med school for the public.” The collection of videos is available at his YouTube site.

Some of my favorites on the topic of exercise are:

A couple video clips caught my attention this week and I thought I’d share the links here. I’ll bet that, like me, you’ll identify with the spirit of their creators.

The first video clip, Make It Count, is from Casey Neistet. Funded by Nike, the video chronicles a 10-day trip by Casey and his friend, Max.

The second video clip, Exercising Around the World, is from Steve Kamb. You can also check out his nerdfitness blog, where Steve describes the making of his recent 18-month, 120,000-mile journey–exercising all along the way!

Enjoy!
