With 2014 wrapping up soon, I’ll be devoting this week to the best content of the year, based on traffic volume at EricCressey.com. I’ll kick it off today with my five most popular articles from the past year.

1. 5 Things I’ve Learned About Mobility Training – This article only just ran about three weeks ago, but it still was the biggest hit of the year. Given the popularity, I suppose I should have written it a long time ago!

2. Why We’re Losing Athleticism – This was my favorite article that I wrote in 2014, and was especially popular among parents.

3. Should You Wear Olympic Lifting Shoes? – What started as a Q&A ended up being a lengthy post that kicked off a great discussion.

4. 6 Reasons Anterior Core Stability Exercises are Essential – We all know core control is incredibly important, but who knew an article about why would be a hit, too?

5. The 10 Laws of Meatball Mastery – If you like meatballs, this article is for you. And, if you don’t like meatballs, this article is still for you, as you’ll surely find a recipe you like – and hopefully a lot more clarity for how to truly enjoy life.

I’ll be back soon with another “Best of 2014” feature. Up next, the top videos of the year!
