Can you be a little more active today?

Head in the sand
Sometimes life overwhelms our health…our job is to mitigate this each time it happens.

What limits does aging have on our ability to remain active?

Told our 15-year old last night, “It’s astonishing to think i can run 8-10 miles with no issues at (almost) 57 years old.”

To me it’s nothing special.

But if i was a much younger me looking at anyone in their late 50’s doing that it would have seemed unreal.

Not sure why it doesn’t seem unreal now.

Under rated benefit of active rest days.

You can tend to other things, like running your business, on your own terms.

Active rest means it’s planned in advance

Last week’s run on International Drive

 

Who’s watching your progress?

Active rest four days a week. Tuesday and Thursdays during the week. Plus the weekends.

Running and strength/core training just three days a week.

Have been doing this since retiring from Disney on Halloween 2014.

Quality versus quantity.

Looks good on paper.

Rest is way under rated.

It’s a strategic advantage.

It’s also more difficult than we think.

Chasing an impossible dream is a healthy alternative

Disney wellness keynote speakers
Feet up, relaxing at Epcot yesterday.

 

Chasing an impossible dream is a healthy alternative to not chasing one. In the spirit of dreaming, excellence, fun, and joy, what would happen if we upped the quality of our wellness goals while lowering the quantity?

Only exercising three times a week.

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are duel workout days. Running and gym. The effort is deliberate and intense. The frequency is low.

This may change everything.

Nationals are in 100 days.
