The cost of laziness is the life you could have lived.
If you suffer from lethargy, read this.
The Jeff Bezos protocol for unlimited energy:
At 59, Jeff Bezos’ physique is almost as impressive as his net worth, standing at $142 billion.
He evolved from a geek to a movie star persona. Now in the best shape of his life, his transformation has caught everyone’s attention.
So what’s the secret to his boundless energy?
Bezos' transformation isn't just about vanity.
He is obsessed with:
• Longevity
• Anti-aging
Because he believes the best way to enjoy enormous wealth is to live longer.
Bezos has even invested in several "rejuvenation" clinics.
Bezos' sleep routine serves as the foundation for his drive and vitality.
He makes it a point to sleep for 8 hours each day.
But why does such a seemingly busy person sleep for 1/3 of his day?
Not getting enough sleep can impact all crucial functions and systems of your body:
• Immune System
• Nervous System
• Cardiovascular System
It also leads to anxiety and depression.
Research shows that heart attacks increase by 24% in spring and decrease by 21% in autumn.
Any idea why?
The hour lost and gained in sleep due to Daylight Savings is the reason for this fluctuation.
So think twice before messing with your sleep.
Bezos' morning routine sets the tone for a balanced day.
He "putters" by:
• Enjoying coffee
• Washing the dishes
• Reading the newspaper
• Having breakfast with his kids
The secret to life is finding joy in the mundane.
This time to ‘Do Nothing’ helps him establish harmony between work and rest.
Research says it:
• Reduces stress
• Renews energy
• Enhances creativity
Dedicate intentional time each morning to nurture inner peace and focus.
Take care of your body so it works for you. Not against you.
Bezos finds time to go to the gym regularly.
“It’s difficult, but I tell myself - I’ll feel horrible if I don’t go”, says Bezos who thinks his workouts make him alert.
Bezos believes in mixing up his training regimen for optimal results.
He combines outdoor sports like paddle boarding and rowing with regular strength sessions.
Adding novelty to your fitness regimen is the boost that keeps you coming back for more.
Before launching into a full-scale strength training program, Bezos nailed down the basics:
• Lunges
• Push-ups
• Bodyweight squats
Mastering form is the foundation for future gains.
Once Bezos perfected his technique, he introduced weights and progressive overload.
A routine combining heavy resistance and metabolic stress maximizes muscle growth. This is the exact method Bezos used to sculpt his impressive physique.
Consistency is the key to evolution.
The secret behind Bezos' stacked upper body? Pull-ups.
"The pulling action on a bar is the best thing you can do for your abs and core," - Bezos’ trainer.
Being consistent with the most basic workouts can be a catalyst for the most profound physical changes.
At Amazon, Bezos would skip the elevator and run up 14 flights of stairs.
His assistant claimed he never broke a sweat and had boundless energy. "He's like a puppy. He would do laps and was never tired," she recalled.
The key is to incorporate movement into your daily routine.
Bezos also embarks on unusual adventures.
• Went to space
• Climbed wind turbines
• Rode a horse for 50 miles
• Retrieved Apollo 13 pieces from the ocean
It doesn’t have to be farfetched, but embrace the unconventional to keep your physical and mental faculties thriving.
Bezos also enjoys more traditional activities like kayaking and tennis.
Incorporating play and friendly competition can make fitness more enjoyable, and adds that dynamic edge to your daily routine.
Engage in activities that are fun and have the potential for self-improvement.
Bezos' path to fitness wasn't always smooth sailing.
His relationship with food was, at times, a rocky one. He never read nutrition labels and chose taste over health.
His weakness? Entire cans of Pillsbury biscuits drenched in butter.
Through dedication, Bezos transformed his relationship with food.
Though he still treats himself at times, his meals are primarily healthy. Fatty fish like tuna, salmon, and trout are staples in his diet.
They deliver a potent combination of lean protein and essential omega-3s.
Bezos' boundless energy and impressive physique at 59 are a testament to his commitment to health and fitness.
By mixing up training, prioritizing sleep, eating clean, and cultivating balance, he is defying age-related decline.
The groundwork for all happiness is good health.
