    First time I hear a TED speaker greeting the audience at the beginning instead of just starting to speak.



  4. @jackmcguire7871 on September 5, 2024 at 6:49 pm

    Everyone: focusing on the talk at hand

    Only me: pondering the fact that he had to check the mobile screen when he was trying to say his own name 01:25

    Excelent



  6. @boostedmaniac on September 5, 2024 at 6:50 pm

    Everyone has time. Just check how much screen time you have on your phone and spend just 30 mins of that per day exercising.

    It makes a good slogan but everyone doesn’t really have the same 24 hours every day in practice; a massive chunk of it is taken up by commuting, childcare, having to work long hours etc. and simply having to rest for being physically exhausted from everything. Having actual free time for self-development after official work hours is lucky and much rarer than influencers seem to think.

    My wife is a PT and has pestered me for years to do cardio and gym work outs and for years I’ve declined. To encourage me she bought me a Smart Watch, which I use to ensure that my heartbeat never exceeds 70 bpm. I simply hate getting hot, sweaty, out of breath or my heart beating increasing…it just gets me down. Thankfully she has given up and now leaves me to do what I want or don’t want to do.

    Some of the people out in the real world pushing fitness are extremely impressive in my opinion. Some cite academic studies and research and seem to know their craft and sports extremely well. Bobby Knight famously wrote that everyone has the will to win but few have the will to prepare to win. But there is another category – those who don’t have a clue. But for me, sports and exercise were calling out to me for years. I would go to the gym and shoot baskets or work out with weights but nobody was around to encourage this. I knew the secret to exercise but it was the Army that showed me that secret. And this was working out every morning and starting my day out the right way with some sport and exercise. I won’t question Army methodology because it is probably tested and works, but it drives a person insane to be labeled a criminal and threatened with Leavenworth when you miss a hair shaving in the morning. And after a run or a 10 mile hike being threatened with Prison for stinking is something I accepted as part of training … but… And there was a lot that the Army did not teach me and maybe they could not teach me. But making it a daily habit was a key that unlocked years of physical activity and general well-being. I was raised to embrace the "other world". I was encouraged out to seek out the spiritual world as a child. But it seems to me that seeking out a better world should never exclude me from embracing the living present. We should be mindful of the world around us and all "today" has to offer. As to impressing the girls, I hate to admit that this has never happened. But maybe I am more healthy as a result of learning about Fitness. Thank you. It bothered me a few years ago when someone mentioned the cost of their Prescriptions and Medication. I don’t know if the Power of Fitness could reduce those expenses but it might be something for people to consider. I don’t believe you can necessarily buy happiness. But your talk and advice seems excellent.

    Do we have to do the 30 mins straight or will three 10 mins work?



  34. @denniperez8028 on September 5, 2024 at 7:41 pm

    So, the point is to inhale and exhale no matter the exercise?



  35. @nanrig on September 5, 2024 at 7:42 pm
