Learn all you can, and make it happen!

• Most of us adhere to a “go harder to get fitter” mantra at the gym. Progress is judged in sweat or by fitness-tracker metrics and the number of reps we manage to clock up in an hour. But what’s the hurry? Taking your foot off the gas, it turns out, may lead to better results. ~The Times

Muscle is one of the greatest metabolic assets you have. ~Elie Jarrouge MD
• It’s Not Just How Much You Exercise – It’s How Many Kinds: As a medical school professor, I’ve watched the “150 minutes a week” message become almost religious.

recognize as food… stay away from these ~Michael Pollan
