Psychology says the people who stay genuinely fit deep into their 60s and 70s aren't the ones with the best genetics, the most discipline, or the strictest routines, they're the ones who quietly decided a long time ago that moving their body... There’s a version of fitness that burns itself out. You’ve seen it. The January gym crowd. The person who loses 15kg before a wedding and finds 20 again after it. The five-week streak that collapses the moment life gets complicated. And then there’s a different version. The 68-year-old who wal...

Group fitness classes aren’t just about exercise, Mikala Jamison wrote in 2024. https://theatln.tc/z5fhRvrd

When Jamison was teaching indoor cycling, she was the nicest version of herself: “warm, welcoming, and encouraging to the point of profound corniness, despite my usual caustic tendencies,” she writes. People that met in her class started dating; strangers went out for coffee. “These experiences have convinced me that group fitness classes are the best place to make friends as an adult,” she continues, “an idea supported by research that suggests that the glow of exercise’s feel-good chemicals has interpersonal benefits.”

Once, friendships were born in what the sociologist Ray Oldenburg called “third places”: physical spaces that aren’t a home or a workplace, don’t charge (much) for entry, and exist in large part to foster conversation. Group classes don’t quite fit in that definition—they can cost money, and their primary activities are “sweating, grunting, and skipping a few reps when the instructor isn’t looking,” Jamison writes. “But they fulfill many conditions that social-psychology research has repeatedly shown to help forge meaningful connections between strangers: proximity (being in the same place), ritual (at the same time, over and over), accumulation (for many hours), and shared experiences or interests (because you do and like the same things)”—a less awkward way to find people with similar interests than at work or at a party.

Even if you don’t find your next best friend at Zumba class, getting into a fitness habit might help you step out of your comfort zone and make more friends in other spaces.

“A room full of grown adults flailing, shouting, and running miles without ever going anywhere is a fundamentally ridiculous prospect,” Jamison continues. “Ridiculous things, however, play a crucial role in connecting with others: They make us laugh.”

Want to Be More Successful? Neuroscience Says Exercise Can Make You Smarter, More Focused, Less Stressed, and a Lot Happier And, surprisingly enough, a better leader.

This is the schedule and it should stay this way for a l-o-n-g time 😊

Today’s Tip:
An easy way to cut down on calories is to pick a time ( say 6 pm) and stop eating.

Try eating a normal breakfast (try to reduce bready carbs if you can);
have a heathy lunch (1 pm ish);
Plan a light dinner between 5 and 6 PM and then shut down the kitchen. ⏲️🍗

 If you’re able to to do this, you’ve essentially given your body at least 12 hours to decrease blood sugar.

Of course, the benefits will be greater if the foods you select to eat during the day are healthy and your caloric intake is not over the top. 🥰
