You could work on getting your joint health better, but if your joints are just straight up strong, that's amazing." [Nick, 12:21] "There are the benefits of yoga and Pilates of mobility, flexibility, joint health and all that stuff, but the mindfulness you get [with those modalities], you don't really get that with strength training." [Nick, 16:32] "If you have one thing that is the most important to accomplish for the day, you set your intention, and accomplish it, whether or not you do the 16 other things on your checklist, it doesn't really matter because you know this was the one thing that you needed to do today, and it really does kind of reframe that moment of success for you."
