13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by @AmyMorinLCSW
Increase your mental strength to get more out of life.
“Learning from each mistake requires self-awareness and humility, but it can be one of the biggest keys to reaching your full potential.”
Once a Runner by John Parker
The quest of a champion.
“Running to him was real; the way he did it was the realest thing he knew. It was all joy and woe, hard as diamond; it made him weary beyond comprehension. But it also made him free.”
Touching the Void by Joe Simpson
When death becomes more and more likely, the will to survive keeps you going.
“Life can deal you an amazing hand. Do you play it steady, bluff like crazy, or go all in?”
The most ignored part of your strength training routine:
The groin.
Here’s a simple 6-part routine to help you bulletproof it before it breaks:
Isometric Adductor Squeeze
• Sit or lie down with your legs bent (feet flat on the ground)
• Use a ball, pillow or rolled up towel between your knees
• Squeeze knees together and hold for time
Start with 3 reps of 15 seconds.
Weighted Butterly
• Use something to prop butt up (easier)
• Bend knees and bring the bottoms of feet together
• Weight on knees to gently push knees down
First, try it unweighted using your hands to push down your knees.
