Ep 38: Exercise is a privilege, not a right
Http://www.OptimizedSelf.ninja
If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me an exercise related question I would be writing this from the helicopter taking off from a giant yacht on the way to my private island. Unfortunately though most people ask them prematurely and out of context of their holistic wellbeing, much like a infant trying to do cartwheels before the can even crawl or stand proficiently…let alone even walk. But it’s not their fault. The have been indoctrinated by all the misinformation, marketing and social memes put forth by society to believe that exercise is the most, or in some cases only means by which they can improve themselves…which is - to put it eloquently, complete and utter BULLSHIT!
Exercise is (and rightfully so, should be) a part of life. BUT it is not your whole life. Exercise is a privilege, not a right. So join me inside today’s Episode and learn when the right time is to introduce exercise into the equation and how to best benefit from it.
