In a move that is simultaneously hilarious and baffling, Sony’s marketing army and Vice Magazine have teamed up to release LittleBigVice.

The promotional magazine is essentially a parody of Vice itself with LittleBigPlanet’s iconic Sackboy taking the place of the magazine’s legion of hipsters, cultural deities and adorably precocious, barely legal underoo models.

Knowing the Vice folks as I do I’ve been assured that this is a carefully planned stab at fiscally beneficial irony. Either that, or even my generation’s professed antipathy toward blatant marketing exercises is far from enough to ward off the adorable advances of Sony’s newest mascot.

Knee pain doesn’t just go away. It’s a reminder every time you’re putting one foot in front of the other. The single leg lunge is a good way to judge the health of your knee joint. If you feel any pain during the test, immediately stop. A good point of caution is to have a chair nearby for balance if you need it. The test is a lunge forward where your back knee touches all the way to ground.

If you can only bend just a few inches, then use the chair. That’s fine. The goal is for the back knee to touch the floor. Just start with a big step forward, make sure that knee touches the ground, and then return standing. What does this test gauge? The point of pain. The drills in the new Tony Horton 10 Minute Trainer address these issues to gain knee stability and regain those hip and ankle muscles that support the knee.
