Chinese drone maker @DJIGlobal shared a breathtaking video of its DJI Mavic 3 Pro flying over Mount Everest on Weibo yesterday. The drone ascended 3,500 meters from the base camp to the summit of the highest mountain in the world.
Honestly…. It drives me a mad!
I’ve said it before and will say it again - V8 / V10 on sustainable fuels, ditch the batteries and hybrid, make the cars smaller and should be able to make them a 120 kilos lighter!
Here’s what aging is:
You loose muscle mass
You loose mobility
Here’s how you slow it down/stop it/reverse it:
Lift weights
Challenge your mobility
No magic tricks, just people choosing to be feeble or capable ⚡️
The world expects us to play a role, and it wants us to look the part. Woman. Man. Mother. Wife. Breadwinner. Boss. Grandparent. Champion.
But the barbell — or the goal posts; the mountaintop; the finish line; even the top of your basement stairs — doesn’t care about your costume. All that matters is what you can do.
Like “move things from A to B and run fast and lift heavy,” says newly crowned Fittest Woman on Earth @laurahorvaht 🇭🇺. She earned the title with feats of strength and speed; technique and control; power and perseverance.
We all face scrutiny and stereotypes. We’ve all tried and failed at some point or another to fit into a mold we weren’t made for.
Maybe that’s why so many of us are drawn to sport. To physical conquest.
Barbells don’t un-lift themselves because you look like you shouldn’t be able to handle their weight. Miles aren’t discounted because you don’t “look like a runner.”
On the field and in the @CrossFit gym — and ultimately, in life — work is what matters.
And as Horvath says (and proved last week), “It’s amazing what our bodies can do if you put the work in.”
