It's vacation time and then back to reality

Greetings! Just got back from the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was a great family trip, and I needed to get away from it all. I'm not into the market so to speak but I did hit the lotto for weather. Every day was between 75-80 and sunny with a light breeze and no humidity to speak of. The pictures we took were fantastic, can't wait to get them all developed!

When mingling around in public places like Mount Rushmore, you really do see a lot of different people and shapes. When I look at the older people there, I often ask myself, how will I feel in 30 years? Will I be able to move well? Will I even be on the planet? I plan on saying "yes" to both of those questions. As it is and always will be, the ability to MOVE will be paramount for a full, enriched life. I saw many, many old people who could just barely move at all. They were struggling at every step and every hill with a grade. I'll admit I was huffing at times! But it's not relegated to just the old folk. The GAIT of some middle aged people was so horrendous that there is no way they will be enjoying life 20 years from now. They will be in constant pain, guaranteed. It is sad.

But of course, in a very short while the Gym Movement protocol will be spreading throughout the land. And they will have a chance to redeem themselves as the body is AMAZINGLY resilient. How do I know? Because I am living it. Case in point, I did joint mobility every day I was on vacation and it tested well. However, on the 4th day in I got a quick workout with my 20K kettlebell, doing 100 single arm swings in 3.5 minutes. My mobility after that? FANTASTIC! What does this mean? It means that corrective exercise is WAAAY better than simple small joint mobility sessions. Case closed, there is no more. And it happens every single time I work out. So plan on listening to your body and reaching your peak potential.
