Fitness Wisdom: How To Live Longer, Taking Breaks, Breakfasts
Apr 03, 2024Fitness Wisdom
Hi friend,
What should you do when life gets crazy busy and you don't have as much energy and time to invest in training as you'd like to?
Sometimes, you must do what you must—strike while the iron is hot.
However, you should never quit exercising altogether. You should REDUCE exercising to allow for more mental and physical resources to be allocated to your work.
It's a mistake to stop exercising altogether when life gets crazy busy because exercising provides a break from the barrage of problems to solve and tasks to complete.
Challenging yourself physically focuses your mind into stillness, into the present moment.
You never get great ideas when you're stressed out.
You solve problems and develop breakthrough ideas when you're calm but engaged.
Another reason why you should never stop exercising is that it is incredibly easy to maintain your current gains.
All you need to do is lift weights vigorously once or twice, 30-45 minutes per time, and do 30 minutes of cardiovascular training per week, for a total of 1.5 to 2 hours per week.
There are 168 hours in a week.
When are you seriously so busy that you can't afford 1.5 to 2 hours out of 168 for the health and maintenance of your biggest asset—your mind and body?
Never.
Stop.
Exercising.

Want to live longer?
Train your cardiovascular fitness. Now. The sooner you get on top of that, the better.
Nothing will reduce your life quality like having a poorly functioning cardiovascular system. Imagine what your life would be like if folding your clothes or doing your groceries would demand a near-maximal effort.
Sounds like dramatic doom and gloom?
Unfortunately, this is a reality for many people. This paper explored the connection between cardiovascular fitness and age-related frailty.
The authors concluded that the prescription of a comprehensive exercise regimen, tailored to progressively include strength, balance, mobility, and endurance training, must shift from a casual recommendation to a central intervention in combating frailty.
And the sooner you get started, the better.
The higher you raise the roof of your fitness levels when you're younger, the higher you'll stay as you get older.
You'll enjoy the freedom you've worked for so hard your entire life while your age peers demand you reveal your secrets.
