How to not get old.

//A Thread//

A simplistic guide on preventing old age, even in your later years. Image
Obviously we're all getting older AGE wise.

That doesn't mean you have to feel old.

Age is an indicator of how many years you've lived.

It's not as important as how you feel and move.
An extreme example but you get the idea:

This man, 62 years old, broke the world record for the longest plank.

8 hours and 15 mins. Image
1. Avoid the extra weight

It's correlated with an increased chance of disease and a decline in health.

2. Stay Strong

Consistently do resistance training at least twice a week.

You don't need to be a bodybuilder, you just need to maintain muscle mass. Image
3. Avoid sugar (White Death)

It's been shown to cause a decline in health sooner and also leads to all kinds of diseases.

4. Spend more time outdoors

More time spent outdoors in nature vs indoors watching TV.

Beaches, parks, hikes, sunsets, etc... Image
5. Stay Flexible

Tight muscles and body leads to stiffness throughout the day and generally a more sedentary lifestyle.

Avoid it by being active, walking daily, and stretching. Image
6. Keep your mind SHARP

Less passive activities (Watching TV).

More Active (Reading).

Constantly pick up new hobbies and get better at them

By doing this you are rewiring your brain and adding new pathways. Image
Hobbies you can pick up today and be good at by this time next year:

-Martial Arts
-Ping Pong
-Archery
-Chess
-Rock Climbing
-Basketball
-Writing
-Yoga
-Journaling
-Biking
-Running Image
7. Enjoy life

Laugh more.

Spend more time with family.

Stop working so much.

Make time for things that are important.

You'll almost always regret not doing these things.

The old and grump guys are grumpy for a reason. Regret. Image
What's the point?

If you build your empire wisely.

And keep your family and friends close.

Imagine sitting back and lighting a cigar.

As you watch everything you ever dreamed of, manifested in front of you.

Passing it all on to your children and children's children. Image
If not that's not called winning at life.

I don't know what is.

So take care of your self.

It's a long game ahead.

If you play it wisely, there is a big chance you can also win at the game of life.

Common Productivity Mistakes You Might be Making

>>> Thread <<<

Apply these to significantly improve productivity.

#6 alone will turn you into a machine.
1. Over-Planning

A man without a plan will almost always get nowhere.



But while you do want to narrow it down as specific as possible.



People often get too caught up at this stage and spend the majority of their time trying to perfect the plan.
Which ultimately leads to them not doing any of the work.



Pick one skill, one destination, and go.



Optimize as needed.

There is no such thing as perfect, it does not exist.

5 simple steps to help you achieve your fitness goals 👇
It’s January 1st and while this is an amazing time to start setting new goals and getting things back on track in your life.



A lot of people keep making the same mistake year after year.
They make all these grand goals in their head, go all out for 3 days, and ultimately fall off and go right back to where they were.



The problem is they lack planning and rely on motivation, which will almost always fail.

Why you keep having pain in the same areas over and over.

//Thread//

The Injury Cycle:

Quick thread on the 6 steps: #4 is the one you all know and hate.
Everyone has that one spot that bothers them.

It seems to go away at times, but the next thing you know it's right back and worst than before.

This is due to a process called the injury cycle.
1. Tissue Trauma

This doesn't have to be hard trauma.

It can result from overtraining or straining your muscle.

Which usually leads to microtears in the muscle belly.
