APPENDIX
The Roberts Definition of Age Reverse.
Obviously I will age, my cells will pack up and I will die. This can not be stopped.
However your fitness age is something completely different. This is quantified by brain functioning, metabolism, cardio health, hormone levels etc
I am 31 years old. So my body is unfortunately on the decline. A lot of the problems of fitness age, can actually all be slowed – by the very things I am doing at the minute = weight training, yoga and cardio. One instance, as a 31 year old man my testosterone levels will decrease by around 4% a year until they are all gone, which has some various and obvious side effects….poor little Robbo!!! However, weight lifting increases testosterone levels, as your body has to start producing more to help build muscle. In fact most areas associated with declining fitness age, can in fact be slowed and actually improved. So as in my opinion as an above average fitness aged 31 year old, can I slow time – i.e. when I am 40 year old man, could I have a fitness age of a 35 year old. I believe I can, so have therefore slowed time! But can you go further than that? As a 40 year old man, could I have a better fitness age than I do now? Again, Yes I believe I can. Meaning – I have reversed time. There is no reason as a 40 year old for example I couldn’t have a fitness age of 30 or below….. Hence age reverse is possible with warped logic….. But it will take dedication and hard work. Not always my best attributes.
The reason why I blog is all down to author Tim Ferriss. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to make goals public. So that people are aware if you achieve or fail, which is a powerful motivator.
~~Tim Ferriss ~~ The Four Hour Body ~~ Review ~~
“How do you manage the self-discipline to bear down on learning a skill? Ferriss suggests you begin by treating your new regime as a trial (vowing permanence can be discouraging)--- give it 2 weeks or 5 serious sessions. By that point early rewards from the discipline will keep you going. You have to measure to detect the rewards ("What gets measured gets managed"--Peter Drucker), and score-keeping lets you make your progress a competitive game with others---which becomes its own motivation. Make public bets about your specific goals, where you'll pay painfully if you fail. "Loss aversion" is a surprisingly powerful incentive.”
I will tweet daily regarding my diet and mental and physical workouts. Then every Friday, I will do a summary blog. Regarding weekly goals, and my progress to my Mid and Long term goals. These are personal goals only, and will not include career goals. As Joey Barton the philosopher has found out Twitter/blogs can get you into a lot of trouble in your Job. Plus I find it distasteful.
This blog is called Robbo Reverse. This is about how I can improve my body and mind, aka Age Reversing. I am 31 and I intend to improve and indeed better that age for years to come…..confused ????
