Got Gold?

Golds gym membership key fob
Flashback to the days before Anytime Fitness opened within walking distance. Golds was a 25-mile roundtrip drive (and sometimes a 25-mile bicycle ride).

Haven’t been inside a gym since Spring 2020.

Covid proved an opportunity to create a gym-less gym workout. Done from anywhere, anytime.

Haves and wants, body

Three people making their beds in a mountain chalet
You rent the linens. But you make your own bed at Granite Park Chalet. August 2024 (two months ago already).

Physical vibrancy has three big buckets:

  1. Movement
  2. Rest
  3. Nutrition

We need those three.

Yes, and…

Personally, i want these seven:

  1. Endurance
  2. Strength
  3. Rest
  4. Nutrition
  5. Flexibility
  6. Core
  7. Motivation

Got shovel?

Rake, left. Post-hole digger, right. Where’s your shovel?

Looking forward to giving my upper body (whole body to be accurate) a break from nine months of digging, planting, raking, pruning, carrying, and shopping (for plants).

The results are stunning, in my opinion.

Technically, my opinion (and Cheryl’s) is all that matters. Cheryl and i are on the same wavelength.

We took some ‘risks’ to create something we never thought we’d need or want to do.

The exercise has been amazing, challenging, and fun.

Ready to break it up with ‘hiking like we mean it’.

Physical road trip

Biking on a mountain road
Continental Divide. All uphill.

A road trip is a state change.

You go from doing things you normally do in a familiar place, to doing things you don’t normally do in an unfamiliar place.

Why?

Because change is stimulating.

Convenient processes

40-second video: Heading to the sidewalk, eventually. This round trip effort will be 18 miles.
41-second video: Side trip to point out a remarkably close massage option. Today’s biking netted 18 miles roundtrip.

The reasons structure and processes are important are simple:

  • Time is valuable
  • Results are valuable
  • Maximize results, minimize effort
