Don’t be lazy
Always take the stairs. Hit the gym or exercise at least 4 to 5 days a week. Post here for daily accountability.

I’ve been slowly padding up the human suit as lifts up tic. Feeling strong but less elastic. It’s wild what missing the sauna for a few days felt like haha . Do you guys have any favorite mobility exercises you’re tossing in the mix?

Picollo Giro
Going for a little ride tomorrow. I’m attempting to ride to and around DFW airport from my house in Keller, Tx. It won’t be the longest ride I’ve done, but certainly Herculean based on where my health and fitness have been for the last 6 months. Cycling is fun for me and low impact. Any other Cyclists in the Ascentic? If so, I’d love to see your rides and hear your feedback on how to improve. Here’s some specs on mine: Pre-ride meal: Tuna fish and cheese. (Night before) Departure time: 5:30AM Target distance: 35mi Playlist: Cameron Herold and Latin music. Biggest fear: getting hit by a car Biggest strength: packing like it’s stage 15 of the Tour de France I’ll update my ride consumption and metrics. I really don’t want to bonk - it’d be embarrassing to have to call my wife to come pick me up. Open to all feedback before and after - it’d be awesome to learn from your experience!

I’m more of a runner but ride a bit. Throwback shoot with the steed while fundraising for the Pan-Mass. Captained Team BadBlood for my bud Kev here. He kicked cancers ass a couple times now with most recent marrow transplant being the cure. He rode it himself the following year because he’s the shit! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻✊🏻✊🏻 Keep pedaling bud, make it hurt.

75 Medium
Only took me two months… but finally found some folks to run a 75 “Medium” training program with as a group. Really excited to start today and see where we’re at in mid August. Some interesting parameters I hadn’t thought about were drinking 100 Oz of water each day and adding quiet/meditative time (10 minutes). We’re tracking it on google sheets and having progress calls. What are some things that help you with your fitness that might not be obvious or common but help with your overall growth? Would love to add them to the mix since we’re starting today!

Like anything, a community to keep you accountable plus your role in doing the same makes it fun and sustainable. Pending the other objectives and for the sake of data I like a smart watch to monitor activities and sleep to at least get started. Also, a smart scale can document progress and overall longterm trends. both are very affordable these days. These quick and aggressive training programs are interesting to me (I do a similar reset in October) but I’d stress doing whatever you can to make it enjoyable enough ensuring you continue afterwards. Maybe there’s a future challenge you put on the board so there’s something this initiates training for? I could suggest picking ann event now and registering. Curious to the other things on the list?

Infinite Jest Megathread
"Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care. What you wish to sing of as tragic love is an attachment not carefully chosen. Die for one person? This is a craziness. Persons change, leave, die, become ill. They leave, lie, go mad, have sickness, betray you, die. Your nation outlives you. A cause outlives you." This is water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCbGM4mqEVw&t=5s Character map is attached

What is financial freedom?
I have a definition that I like. It keeps me grounded and prevents me from the hedonic treadmill "Financial freedom is being able to earn the average American income passively or with full autonomy" That number is currently $5,300 per month in gross income

Towards the end of The Gambler, John Goodman gives the best definition one could ask for. Essentially one has their financial independence once they’re operating within a position of “F*** YOU!” ✊🏻🤘🏻✊🏻🤘🏻

@Alexander Felice 100% The choice to expose yourself to potential massive upside without focusing on associated risk or just existing doing whatever you please without needing profitability at all. It’s a lovely idea and I love that “f*** you” money doesn’t necessarily need to be a whole hell of a lot.
