Why I workout like Warren Buffett.⁣
⁣
In investor , book, The Philosophy of Money, he points out that Warren Buffett amassed most of his wealth after his mid 60’s. That’s 70 (of his total 90) billion Buffet earned after the age of 60.⁣
While we all think of him as a genius investor, Housel reminds that Buffet has been investing for 75+ years.⁣
⁣
Buffett’s annual return of 22% certainly isn’t normal (market average 8-12%). However, Jim Simons of hedge fund Renaissance Tech has a return of 66% annually but he has 72% LESS money than Buffett.⁣
⁣
I don’t get how that’s possible?⁣
Simons 66% returns have only been going on for 33 years compared to Buffetts; 22% returns over 75 years. That’s compounding interest at play aka consistency over a long time yields amazeballs returns.⁣
⁣
What does that have to do with fitness, Tina?⁣
⁣
As with investing, the lifetime returns of physical fitness isn’t about our hardest workouts or extreme performances.⁣
⁣
Longevity & physical fitness are about the pretty good workouts whose level you can sustain mentally & physically on a consistent basis for a long time.⁣
⁣
Where exercise differs than investing is that we can ALL be the Warren Buffett for our bodies by simply being consistent in our exercise efforts over a lifetime. ⁣
⁣
Not HARD AF, just pretty good often.⁣
⁣
How do you feel about being your body’s Buffett with me?⁣

‘Twas 2 days after Christmas and already I’m seeing all these post-holiday detox and cleanses cropping up again all over the TV, social media and the radio and I’m here to suggest to you to save your money on these products and protect your mental well being.

Listen, a calorie deficit will (very likely) have you lose weight. The start of any calorie deficit, especially a hyper restrictive one after a weekend of enjoying carbs and alcohol and not enough water will *most* likely end up in a drop in (water) weight - this can be 3-5 or more pounds depending on the human and their body.

This does not mean that shake or cleanse “meal” plan was a magic bullet to a sustainable weight loss.

Why do you think folks need to keep doing them over and over again - 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you are looking for health, then dropping weight isn’t necessarily the key factor; it’s the habits and behaviors that we integrate into our lives, with consistency that will support our immune systems, hearts, lungs, brains, movement patterns and more.

So, in 2022, instead of perpetuating the diet cycle leaving us frustrated and dissatisfied let’smove. Let’s rest. Let’s enjoy nutrient dense foods. Let’s enjoy less nutrient dense foods. Lets let go of obsessive food monitoring and tracking. Let’s be more mindful. Let’s meditate. Let’s laugh. Let’s talk kindly to ourselves. Let’s spend time doing things we love. Let’s focus on quality over quantity.

Let’s reframe what health means

In we do not put an emphasis on weight loss or physique change to allow us space to redirect our energy on movement and nutrition that fills us up, not shrinks us down.

If you’re looking for a strength training community that’s different from what you’re used to, we have spots available at each of our membership levels to meet your needs in 2022 and beyond.

Use link in bio to schedule a 15 minute Q and A chat with us or try a first month of the Straight Up Strong membership (programming, coaching and live group sessions!) for $49!

See you in January (or any month because strength training is for everybody all times of the year!!)
