What do you tell someone who's never going to run an ultramarathon but wants to make a change?
@KenRideout_'s answer wasn't what I expected. He didn't talk about training plans. He reframed the whole thing around obligation — specifically, to whom you owe it.
His argument is direct: your health isn't competing with your family responsibilities. It is your family responsibility. If you're making avoidable choices that degrade your health, and those choices eventually put a burden on the people around you — that's not a private matter. A parent is never going to be happier than their saddest child. And a child is rarely going to be at peace knowing their parent is struggling with something that didn't have to happen.
That reframe carries more weight than the usual "you can't pour from an empty cup" language — which feels like permission. This feels like accountability.
The actual starting point he recommends is humble: a one-mile walk. Then an hour walk. Maybe add a ruck. That's it. The goal isn't suffering for suffering's sake — it's the feeling on the other side of doing something hard.
And that feeling, Ken argues, is available to anyone, every day. You just have to finish first.
Hip mobility is essential for healthy and pain-free movement. And it might even predict how long you'll live.
What does that look like?
According to Dr. Kelly Starrett (@thereadystate), you should be able to squat with your hip crease below your knee, stand on one leg and pull the other knee up past 90 degrees, and lower yourself to the floor and stand back up without using your hands or dropping a knee.
These are just basic signs that your hips, balance, coordination, and strength are in a pretty good place.
Lower sit-and-rise scores have been associated with substantially higher all-cause mortality. This means basic movement capacity tells you a lot. If getting down to the floor and back up feels hard, or you can’t hit a simple squat position, it's probably a sign you’re missing some combination of hip function, strength, balance, or coordination.
Kelly outlines these and other essential mobility assessments in the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast. See below for links.
Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.
People need to understand:
when you ask AI to “verify,” it only works once information is publicly confirmed or enough sources corroborate it.
In true open source situations, events are unfolding in real time….often before mainstream media or AI systems can catch up, so any “confirmation” will lag by minutes or even longer.
Accuracy is super important to us, and we work hard to balance lightning fast reporting with clear labels when something is still unfolding and unconfirmed.
Keep watching the feed and checking back, because the answer Grok gives you can change completely 20 minutes later.
The National Communication Centre (NCC) confirmed that the air defence systems of the Bahrain Defence Force have responded with high efficiency and full operational readiness to a fresh wave of hostile Iranian ballistic missiles and drones targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain, successfully intercepting and destroying them.
The Centre stated that limited debris resulting from the destruction operations was reported across a number of areas. The authorities immediately deployed specialist teams and initiated field procedures to ensure site safety and address any resulting impact.
The NCC affirmed that these attacks constitute a violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and national security, stressing that the safety of citizens and residents remains an absolute priority. Full readiness continues around the clock to confront any threats affecting the security and stability of the nation.
🚫Iran’s IRGC claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles. LIE.
✅The Lincoln was not hit. The missiles launched didn’t even come close. The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM’s relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime.
@mynbc15 We have our US troops at risk and fighting for our country and freedom. The past 36 hours are changing our history and you are writing about this?? Please stop your bs reporting and be a real news source!!
A statement by the Bahrain Defence Forces (BDF) confirms that no injuries or deaths have occurred as a result of Iran’s missile attacks, thanks to its national missile defence systems.
“The situation is calm and under control, thank God, and no injuries or loss of life occurred as a result of the hostile missile attack,” read the statement.
“Procedures to secure the site of the attack are ongoing, to protect citizens and residents of the area.”
@loganjrankin Reading this late, but what good timing. I run a pm co. with 500 units and have put everything into my staff and like you don’t have a # to reach. Just providing excellent mgmt services for my team, my owners and my renters.
@CoachDanGo Your timing for this is spot-on! Love how you keep things so simple and doable. No tricks, no gimmicks, just get up everyday and get it done. No need to worry about all the extra noise. Thank you!
@diptripflipfan@pepemoonboy My company manages 450 properties in So. Alabama and we only have had 5 evictions since 2010. A good pm company is really worth it.
