Consistency is greater than Intensity
That's my mantra for 2023. I've reached a new chapter in life. I'm married. My kids are grown and living their own lives. My career is meaningful but not consuming me 24 hours a day. I have time to pursue excellence. My pursuit of excellence has led me to activities I never enjoyed before. I never enjoyed low intensity cardio. I never enjoyed treadmills. I never enjoyed group workouts / cardio classes. I never wanted a TV in my garage gym. All of those things are part of my daily routine now. I am lifting 6sixdays a week (Legs, Push, Pull, Legs, Push, Pull). I am doing 30 minute group workouts from Beachbody On Demand six days a week (Pilates, bootcamp, yoga). I am doing 30 minutes of steady state treadmill walking every night. None of this alone is particularly interesting. What is interesting to me is that by lowering my intensity I am able to get in 3 exercise sessions six days a week and still have time for big outdoor adventures...
