Play Hurts. Deal With it.

A lot of slow for a bit of fast...

When it comes to "longevity" in fitness, here's the ugly truth:

‍

Active hobbies of all kinds - from gardening to parkour - hurt.

‍

They deplete our strength, wear and tear on our joints, and are, by nature, somewhat unpredictable.  

‍

That's what makes them FUN.

‍

But fun has a price and the faster you play, the higher the cost.

‍

To keep playing quickly as you age, you have to accept that it damages your body and prepare accordingly.

‍

If I could go back and help 20-year old Sean understand this, I would give him this practical advice:

‍

"Prepare to play in a 10 to 1 ratio."

‍

This means for every minute I move dynamically, I would have to sink at least 10 minutes into slow, joint-focused mobility:

‍

‍

This undoubtedly would have resulted in better performance and fewer injuries....

‍

...but I still would've gotten hurt.  Because play always hurts.  

‍

The COST, however, could have been much lower.

‍

The sooner YOU accept this and apply the 10 to 1 rule, the better you'll feel and the longer you'll play.

‍

You're not BROKEN.  You just need to MOVE BETTER.
