Thanks for highlighting the role of exercise diversification in motivation (link in bio). Everyone knows what to do, the key is finding ways to stay consistent. In my view, the holy grail of fitness is compliance! Finding ways to stay motivated over a lifetime is a key factor in healthy longevity.

In PUSH, I highlight the medical value of exercise and movement for healthy longevity. A fantastic new review article in Cell Metabolism reviews the current evidence for movement as a disease modifying agent across several factors: lifespan (how long we live), healthspan (how long we live healthily), and the effect of lifelong activity on both chronic and reversible disease.

In summary, if we’re able to commit to a lifetime of movement, we’re able to maximize our health. So... get off your a # # and move every day, build muscles 3 times per week, and don’t let anything stand in your way!

Thank you Business Insider for the kind profile about the role of activity in my life, both as a sports medicine physician and as a person trying to push myself and my community ahead each and every day. This kind article (link in bio) illustrates how I try to live the concept of PUSH in little ways, week to week and year to year. In my view, the key to healthy longevity, both in mind and body, is about consistency. Motivation is a combination of the drive from within and the structures one creates around themselves to keep pushing ahead.

To succeed, everyone can learn to lower their cost to act, a behavioral economics term that means making the desired path easier.

I hope you find these insights helpful as you push yourself in all ways, big and small.

It was a pleasure to teach a Bad Bunny themed IronStrength class to our amazing HOLA ERG at HSS last week. HOLA is an ERG that celebrates hispanic culture, an essential part of the strong fabric of community that keeps HSS going every day.
We used squats, lunges, burpees, and other gentle forms of enthusiastic movement to encourage community (Dios mio💥).
I look forward to doing it again!
Stay fuerte💪🏻

My newest piece, out today in the Atlantic (link in bio) looks at the field of “longevity”.

My take is that we’ve done an amazing job, through sanitation, vaccines, antibiotics, and general knowledge, in extending lifespan over the past 100 + years - a triumph of longevity.

In today’s world, there is a misuse of the concept of longevity, it amounts to a shakedown for $$ in many cases, with little science and a lot of marketing.

I’d be honored if you’ll read the article and let me know your thoughts! I’m all about healthy longevity (health span), we can do so much to influence our health through effective prevention.
