Challenging and achievable

We’ve wrapped up another month of our online Movement for Longevity classes. Each person has their own strengths and weaknesses and it takes some trial and error to find what they need. My favorite phrase, “challenging and achievable” describes how to know what’s right for you.

You must challenge yourself as you’re unlikely to make progress if the exercises are easy. On the other hand, progress is unlikely without repeated success. The Goldilocks zone is around 80% success. The successes feel good and reinforce good movement. The occasional failures show that you’re pushing hard enough to expand your comfort zone.

What do you do to push your limits?
