Not bad as a first launch. I would just say that your own picture is too low res and does not provide enough info about your background. A video demonstrating a session so we could see the environment would also be useful. Good luck.

Of course, of course

Agreed. Most changes to diet or programming will have a modicum of negative impact until the individual builds some adaptation to it.

Interesting how you note that intense exercise can decrease productivity, which is rational, but that you engage in it anyway due to the additional benefits it provides. So there is a balancing act between performance out of the gym (so to speak) and performance in the gym.

What are your considerations when making balancing decisions? Time is obviously a factor. High intensity requires less time (but perhaps more output from certain energy systems). Steady state cardio requires more time but taxes an energy system that is built to recover more quickly. Does your work day impact the exercise selection(s) for that day?

Mental health is definitely affected. Low impact may be energy conserving too so negative outcomes are reduce.

Interesting. What type of work do you do? And is the gym focused on strength training (I assume not to failure most days?)?

Sounds like intensity is your go-to. In general, what kind of business are you in? What are your high level responsibilities?

[–] lawdog_awaken@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Anything helps. Light resistance, as in calisthenics?

And I bet a young god does better work in the office as well. How have you seen exercise over the last two years improve your professional performance/capacity? And what exercise modalities do you typically utilize?

What do you do to break the inactivity? What types of exercise do you find beneficial for those with entrepreneur-type responsibilities?

[–] lawdog_awaken@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For sure. You can’t work at a high level if you’re ill or worse. How much should an entrepreneur prioritize it? What types of exercise should be prioritized, if any?

[–] lawdog_awaken@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I don’t disagree. What is your exercise regimen?

 

But for myself, and many of my entrepreneur peers, we’re like “Man, I hope this is it. I can’t really handle any more adventurous challenges, business or otherwise.”

I take for granted that the life of an entrepreneur is filled with risk taking, fast-paced decision making, day-to-day all-in execution, make-or-break meetings, limitless creative demands, and other edge-of-the-cliff professional activities.

This reality makes life seem so dynamic and ever-changing. Mix that in with a robust personal life/schedule and you’re sometimes hanging on by the seat of your pants (so to speak).

How can anyone stand living any other way?

My hats off to you business makers and dream chasers. I’d love to hear how you juggle your hectic work and home lives and the perspective that keeps you motivated everyday.

Gives you flexibility to adapt to evolving work schedule though. And you can do it anywhere. Have you ever missed days, say due to work travel? What happens to mindset or work perception?

 

Or, in the alternative, are there any entrepreneurs who believe that physical exercise results in a net negative (in terms of productivity) in light of all the other things (running ops, admin, payroll, employee retention programs, etc.) you have to do?

For those who believe that your exercise program clearly results in increased productivity/performance, what type of exercise are you engaging in (cardio/steady state, strength training/high intensity, strength training/volume hypertrophy, HIIT, functional fitness, sport specific, etc.)?
