AGE IS A NUMBER, AGING IS A CHOICE. The other day the hubs & I did a snorkel tour at the Molokini Crater in Maui. Before we jumped in the water to snorkel at the crater, the staff member leading the snorkel group went through the rules. One rule was that we all had to wear a flotation device - either☝🏽a life jacket that you inflated yourself as needed, recommended for strong swimmers who wanted to dive down, or✌🏽a floaty inner tube thing you wore around your waist for less strong swimmers or those who couldn’t be bothered w/ putting forth the effort to do a little swimming while snorkeling. My honest opinion about Option No.✌🏽: . Has our society really arrived at this level of laziness? Altho it gets better w/ practice, snorkeling is not hard & swimming or rather floating on the surface of the water while wearing flippers is even less challenging. Swimming is a survival skill. If you don’t know how to swim, I don’t care how old you are, LEARN, b/c one day it will save your life. Practice to be a good & even great swimmer. You don’t have to be Michael Phelps, but put the effort into being a better swimmer. It will add years to your life because it will increase your physical fitness, add to the number of water activities you can enjoy & save your life if you get in water over your head. Learning how to swim is investing in your HEALTH EQUITY (see my post from 1/15) & practicing to be a better swimmer & practicing to hold your breath & dive under & explore while snorkeling is DOING THE EXTRA (see my post from 1/16). Both investing in your HEALTH EQUITY & DOING THE EXTRA add longevity & vitality to your life. It’s not just about adding years to your life, but making those additional years QUALITY YEARS. Aging is a choice & you have a choice in how you age. You have a choice in how your genes express themselves based upon how much sleep you get, how you manage stress, how healthy & active you are & the food & drink you choose to put in your mouth. My 45-Day Hormone Reset is your first step in DOING THE EXTRA to invest in your HEALTH EQUITY so you can CHOOSE HOW YOU AGE. 💥Enrollment is open! Link in bio to sign up👆🏽 . 📸: @islanddreamproductions
DO THE EXTRA. It’s Day 11 of vacation. I’m a little bit softer than I like to be, but that’s standard as I come to the end of vacation. While on vacation I follow more of a 75/25 or 80/20 rule vs. a 90/10 or 95/5 rule when it comes to nutrition. We cook the majority of our meals with an occasional meal out - e.g. over this vacation so far we’ve only eaten 5 meals out, 2 lunches, 2 happy hours, 1 dinner, plus a cinnamon roll & slice of pie. Maybe that sounds boring to you but I’d rather eat like I usually do 75-80% of the time while I’m on vacation so that I can enjoy my nightly Moscow Mule, chips & guacamole & cheese along with a meal out, a dessert, & a cinnamon roll here & there. This allows me to enjoy the things I indulge in on vacation but also physically feel good, not be overly bloated & sick to my stomach & still fit into my clothes. Plus it aligns with optimizing hormone balance & positive gene expression. I follow this rule because it’s my LIFESTYLE. It’s my normal daily life ritual to operate like this when it comes to nutrition & exercise even while on vacation. In addition, while on vacation I ALWAYS exercise. Whether it’s a run, a hike, or a lift sesh. Swimming & snorkeling is a bonus. During this vacation, most mornings the hubs & I headed to @theblockmaui for class. Today in class we finished with a 300-type workout (swipe left👈🏽to see). After I finished the 50 gorilla rows I asked the instructor @victorandrade1129 if it was 50 each arm or 50 total? He replied, “It’s 50 total but if you want to do extra you can do 50 each arm.” . I replied, “I did extra in class yesterday” (which I did btw) “so I’ll stick to the minimum.” Except the pull-ups. I did sets of 5 reps instead of 3 reps. Usually I like to do THE EXTRA because it’s the extra that makes us better & stronger & it’s what sets us apart from the ordinary. So do THE EXTRA & be EXTRAORDINARY. Do you do the extra or are you content being ordinary with the minimum👇🏽? . Today is the THE LAST DAY to get on the list for 20% off of my Hormone Reset. Do the extra & sign up👆🏽. Link in bio👆🏽. . #dotheextra #beextraordinary #fitover40 #pullups
DO YOU VALUE HEALTH EQUITY AS MUCH AS FINANCIAL EQUITY? So many people build financial equity over the years leading up to retirement, but, when retirement age comes, their bank accounts may be financially sound, but they lack health & are physically bankrupt. If you don’t have health equity, in that you’re not healthy & physically capable, then what good is financial equity? You might as well use that financial equity to check yourself into assisted living rather than use it to do the things you previously imagined doing during retirement such as traveling, learning new skills & hobbies & playing w/ your grandchildren. You may have all the money in the world to retire comfortably to do whatever you want, but you can’t really do whatever you want & enjoy it if you are unhealthy & physically unfit. Similarly, people have no problem spending $30+/wk on their morning SBux coffee-dessert concoction, but then gawk when they hear the cost of a $100/mo gym membership or paying $100 out of pocket every 6wks for a visit w/ a private functional medicine specialist; both which improve overall health, vitality, longevity & physical function. Paying for a gym membership, personal trainer, exercise program, nutrition plan, or functional medicine specialist are all investments in HEALTH EQUITY. Investing in all of these things early on will give you not only longevity, but also, a better quality of life for longer. That way you can actually enjoy your financial equity when you retire because you are not physically bankrupt. My 45-Day Hormone Reset is an essential step to help you to build HEALTH EQUITY. You will learn, . 👉🏽The foods & daily rituals that optimize hormone balance & positive gene expression . 👉🏽How 1 Brazil nut a day increases glutathione (an antioxidant) production & supports thyroid function . 👉🏽How Vitamin C helps to support your adrenals & is essential to cortisol production . 👉🏽How your adrenals govern hormone balance for many o/ hormones from thyroid to sex hormones. So if your cortisol is out of whack, then it’s very likely that o/ hormones are also out of whack . & SO MUCH MORE! Link in bio👆🏽to get the deets & a 20% discount-ends TMW!

I Did Not Wake Up Like This

I Did Not Wake Up Like This. A few weeks ago during the Iron Body Garage Gang training sesh, the ladies asked me what weight do I usually use when I do get-ups. My answer: “24kg* (53lbs)” – *When I’m training singles. Followed up by: “I did not wake up like this.” It took YEARS for me to build strength to easily do get-ups with 24kg. Strength takes time; AND it takes YEARS to build… Read More
