🏃♂️ An ironman is a 2.4-mile swim, then a 112 mile bicycle ride and a 26.22 mile run completed in that order, a total of 140.6 miles. For perspective, that distance is like running around a basketball court 2,566 times...Chris did 10 of those in his life.
🤯 Thankfully for us, he tweeted every fitness tip he could think of so we don't have to summarize them for you. Enjoy.
Weekly Newsletter Nuggets:
You will stick with cardio if you find a version you enjoy.
Fitness is mental. Talk positively about yourself and believe in your future success.
Find a workout partner to build accountability and discipline. Self motivation will often fail you...
You can never outwork a bad diet.
Compete only against the person in the mirror not the person who has already been in the gym for 10 years.
👟The thread is 50 points long, we picked a handful of the most widely applicable ones. Feel free to check out the rest in the post above!

🤔 Would you agree that the majority of the success in a job comes from your ability to deal with people? This book teaches you just that.
Since its release in 1936, How to Win Friends and Influence People has sold more than 30 million copies. For a book that's 87 years old...every bit of advice is timeless.
Carnegie teaches you techniques on how to handle people, how to communicate more effectively, and persuasion tactics. Here are a few of Carnegie's points in the book:
Give honest and sincere appreciation.
Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Use people's name in a conversation.
While we can go on about Dale Carnegie's book, we'll be practicing our listening and want to hear from you. (reply and say hello, our inbox is feeling very lonely)
See you next week.
With love,
