A few years ago, my wife Karin said “you look like you’ve put on weight?” which was something I’d noticed myself and I hadn’t been doing enough exercise or working out.
I’d just listened to an episode on the Paul Chek (legend) podcast where Paul interviewed his mentor Tom Campanaro, the founder of the Total Gym.
It sounded like a well priced, versatile piece of kit, so I bought one on my Business account.
A day later, Karin asked me with alarm “what is the $3000 debit for?” I told her “you called me fat, so I’ve bought a home gym.”
For the past three years, I’ve worked out on my Total Gym twice a week, once on my own and once with Karin first thing in the morning. I love that I can work out in my underwear was listening to Bitcoin Podcasts. It’s also great working out with Karin and it’s really improved her upper body strength.
Our two daughters get to see their parents exercising regularly which is a great life lesson for them.
I’m in better physical shape than any 54-year-old I know, and intent to remain that way for the rest of my days.
No one ever regrets being fit and strong, able to physically cope with the challenges life throws at us, and the personal satisfaction of being in good shape.
There’s a correlation between leg strength and longevity. When elderly people who don’t have good leg strength trip and are unable to arrest their fall, they break a hip or fracture their pelvis, into hospital they go, and they leave in a coffin.
I highly recommend the Book Younger Next Year which I heard about from Larry Leppard.
