Let’s dive in! 🥑 Health🏋️♀️ Push-Ups, Pull-Ups, and Greasing the GrooveStill, it’s essential for health and longevity to build and maintain lean muscle mass, so I want to talk about simple ways to do this. If you want to go all-in on strength training, you can refer to previous episodes of the newsletter (and upcoming ones, as it will be a recurring theme), but if not, here’s what I think could help. In short: greasing the groove style push-ups and pull-ups. “Greasing the Groove” is a method popularized by Russian fitness instructor Pavel Tsatsouline. The idea is to spread a large volume of specific exercises throughout the day to minimize the recovery time needed. For example: if you get a pull-up bar at home, you’d do a set of 50-80% of your max each time you pass under the bar. This article All that to say, you don’t need to devote hours of your day to the gym to get going and build/maintain your muscle mass to stay strong while you age. “I don’t have the time” isn’t a worthy excuse 😉 @ContraInvest 🌱 Wellness📱 The Case Against Social MediaThe conversation was excellent, and I particularly liked the part about Instagram. Haidt explains that not all social media are created equal in their impact on kids’ mental health. Instagram is the particularly harmful one, and he recommends parents prevent kids as much as possible from using Instagram. I haven’t read all the research about this and can only talk from personal experience and observing people around me: I fully agree with Haidt's statement regarding how bad Instagram is for young girls. I highly recommend checking the entire episode. For more, pair it with:
🧠 Better Thinking👎 I Wish You Bad LuckThe idea that setbacks can be blessings in disguise isn’t just to make you or anyone that just had a setback feel better. It’s 100% true but it depends on how you perceive that specific setback. I really liked this speech from Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court John Roberts.
