A good workout always creates a nice sense of equilibrium when I first arrive in a travel destination.

Greatly helps to reduce jet lag and the impacts of plane travel.

I was feeling a little depressed/anxious, went out for a 2.5 hour walk, and now I’m feeling 10x better.

Walking in the outdoors is potent medicine.

You show what you truly value by what you do consistently, through ups & downs.

What is something you have done consistently for the last decade?

For me, it has been exercise. Many things have come and gone over the last 10 years, but daily exercise has been a constant.

Food / caloric intake is a bigger part of the equation for weight loss.

I don’t need that much - give me coffee, some exercise, maybe a glass of red wine at night - and I’m happy

How soon do you eat before a game / competition / hard workout:

I’ve found that I can completely change my state of mind for the better with as little as a 30-minute moderate-intensity workout.

It seems many people experience the same thing, which I suspect is a primary reason why people stick with their exercise routine.

Anyone else experience this?

I knew there was a reason why coffee & wine are 2 of my favorite beverages.

1-2 glasses of wine, 2 cups of coffee per day shown to have lowest risk of all-cause mortality.

Tea had longevity benefits as well. Alcohol other than wine was detrimental.

Which sport do you think provides the best workout?

Easy way to find your calling.

Ask yourself: “Would I do this for free?”

If not, move on.
