228 - How even you can save your own life
Manage episode 509004899 series 3437758
Summary:
- The "Drop Dead Years" and Their Impact: Men entering their 50s face increased mortality risk due to factors like heart disease and brain health. Without proper diet and exercise, early death becomes more likely. Women face different challenges, often related to appearance and hormonal changes like menopause.
- Fitness Resources at Zero Cost: Several free options exist for those wanting to improve their health. CrossFit Garage's website offers free at-home workout options that require minimal equipment. Additionally, there are PDF resources with 30-day workout plans available at crossfitgarage.com/free.
- Using Technology for Fitness: Andy and his brother Charles are developing GarageFitness Online, an AI-driven programming tool that customizes workouts based on individual goals (strength, cardio, skills). The platform is currently free in alpha stage and includes features like food logging through photos.
- Personal Training Options: Several coaches at CrossFit Garage offer specialized training services. Coach Josiah focuses on custom meal plans and personalized programming, Coach Jennifer specializes in women's health including menopause support, Coach Matt specializes in rehabilitation and strength building, and Coach Jamie offers both fitness coaching and counseling services.
- Setting Motivational Goals: Having a future event that's challenging yet achievable creates motivation. Examples include adventure races, bike packing competitions, or a half marathon - something with "the illusion of failure and death but not real failure and death."
- Finding a Local CrossFit Gym: Andy recommends using CrossFit.com's gym finder map feature to locate one of the approximately 10,000 affiliates worldwide. These gyms typically cost around $200/month but provide coaching and community support worth the investment.
- The Importance of Taking Action: With so many available resources (free, online, in-person), the only real obstacle is taking action. Statistics show that half of people will die before age 73, but improving fitness and nutrition can extend life expectancy significantly.
On this podcast you will receive actionable tips on Building a Firm Foundation for Life in Fitness, Food, Finance
I believe in building a firm foundation for life through functional fitness, farm-fresh nutrition, and sound financial practices. Join us in creating a healthy and resilient future!
We are happy, humble, helpful people that want to be healthy and fit now, as well as in their 90's. I talk about how to live that good life now and later with heavy slant towards fitness and nutrition. I will even get into mindset, goals, raising chickens, raising kids, bitcoin, rental property, entrepreneurialism
