Is your physical performance excellent?

(Reusing this photo): One dump truck load. Countless wheelbarrow loads. Seemingly infinite shovel fulls. A single human. Ps. Already made a significant dent in this pile which doesn’t show up well in the photo.

10+ miles ain’t nothin’

Apple Watch fitness app screenshot
Leisurely 5-mile Monday morning walk together. Then bike 3 miles round-trip to the eye doctor. Then walk another 5 miles in the yard doing yard work.

Spend as much time outside as you can.

dad

Outside for 13 hours today. In the shade from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

Not once did i need to go inside to cool off with the AC.

Worst case physically

Two guys at the base of a palm tree
Shirt soaked in sweat. Love it. Squatting like this was humankind’s first portable chair. Tree guy (Karl) is teaching simply by allowing me to observe. Sun is setting. Been outside since sunrise.

Worst case physically for most people is they are fast-tracking to a chronic health condition(s).

dad

This morning i read Chris Brogan’s once-a-week post he emails every Sunday.

Chris’s post today is about metrics and asking the right question(s).

Chris said a phrase that caught my attention. In this phrase he is specifically talking about body weight.

His (seemingly) insightful question is simple…

Am I gaining weight or losing weight?

An easy metric to calibrate. You are or you aren’t.

Immediately (instantaneously) i asked, Do you even know what your ideal body weight is?

Because if you do, the most insightful question you can ask (every morning, week, month) is this…

Yes or no, am i at my ideal body weight?

Countless times.
Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Even more often with Guests around.

Onstage is anywhere Guests can see you. Backstage is anywhere Guests cannot see you.

dad

Simple concepts work because they are easy to remember and easy to do. The easier something is to do, the quicker you make it a habit. Habits make or break you.

Biked home 13 miles after the bi-annual appointment. If my math is good, that’s 26 miles before lunch.

You may not be consistently active yet. But you can and hopefully will be.
