Your mile time might matter more than your blood pressure, body weight, or your blood sugar.

A recent study found that cardiovascular fitness is a better predictor of mortality risk than traditional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol or Type 2 Diabetes

Injuries suck and everyone deals with them.

Most people prolong an injury by not doing the hard work on the front end to get it to resolve as quickly as possible.

Steal my squat warmup

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

I just spent 20 minutes sipping hot water and thinking “This is not my best americano.”

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

Of course when you try to start running or join rec league basketball out of nowhere you have some issues.

It’s not “all that wear and tear.” You just aren’t prepared.

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

You played sports in highschool, maybe even college.

You got out of shape because work and life got in the way.

You are 35 and start running to get back in shape.

You go to the doc because your knees hurt.

“It’s all that wear and tear.”

SMH 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

Your life at 35 probably doesn’t look anything like that.

You go to work, sit at a desk, try to play with your kids, and if you are a top 10 percenter maybe you even lift some weights.

How to sleep in 2024:

1. Charge your phone in the kitchen.
2. Turn the air down (colder than you think).
3. Make sure your room is dark.
4. Allow yourself 30 min - 1 hour to either talk to your spouse or read with only low lighting and no phones prior to bed.
5. Yes you can ⬆️

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

Working out first thing is superior to anytime later in the day.

It’s also my least favorite time to workout.

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

I think having kids is the fastest way to nose dive your fitness goals.

It is also the most fulfilling and meaningful thing I’ve ever done.

I am definitely not recommending you don’t have kids for the sake of fitness, but you definitely have to change your strategy!

If I see another “worst exercises for your ______” post I’ll lose it.

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

We know too much at this point about the benefits of strength training not to be trying to get loved ones, clients, anyone who trusts us to start lifting.

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

This stemmed from a book I went through with my men’s group over the past couple of months.

All of the habits were good but this combo of 2 habits is something I don’t think I will ever let go.

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

One habit that has dramatically impacted my family, business and personal wellbeing:

- I put my phone on its charger in my kitchen before bed (ideally 30 min-1 hour before)

- I don’t look at it again until I have finished my morning Bible reading and quiet time.

Getting really excited about hitting a 6 week bodybuilding program in the same day I am telling people I am going to enter the lottery for the Leadville 100 (miles long) mountain bike race. I guess I’m trying to be the king of getting ok at everything.

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

Just realized I will get to cold plunge in the dark more starting tomorrow. Woohoo

[Blake Bohanan @blakebohanan]

I just learn more and more how much I don’t know. And how simple a lot of the stuff I didn’t know is. It’s a weird thing.
