You just take a back road, right?

You just take another back road.

The back road might be rowing.

Rowing is going to still work the shoulder joint through extension.

It's still going to provide some of those joint benefits.

It's still going to provide the capsular benefits.

It might not be stimulating the delts that way, but there's other exercises you could do for the delts that won't do that.

So our job is to figure out how we can always have something we can do so that the option is not or the alternative is not nothing.

Because that's when things really start to go wrong, when you opt for nothing.

And that's when the aging process starts to really accelerate to the point of even just the functional aging, how you feel.

And the quality of your life will sink if you don't continue to figure out ways to do that.

So I always felt my mission or my goal was to empower people with these options and these alternatives of how do you do these things.

Because again, if someone came to me as a PT and my bag of tricks contained one, two, and three, and they couldn't do any of them, then what do I do?

I have to have options four and five there too.

And I think that's always been my strength is to figure out not just to have option four and five on reserve, but then also have six, seven, eight, nine, and 10 in case I needed those too.

And if I could provide people with that information, then they know how to dip into those at the right time to keep going, keep training.

Cardio is like the right foot to the left foot.

It's very important for the overall...

picture of health if you're if you're avoiding cardio and conditioning entirely you're not as healthy as you think you are i don't do as much cardio as i should it's always my big confession that i don't and the reason why is simply because i have to choose based on time limitation and for me

with priorities being to spend some time with my family and my boys and how much can I actually get done with work and my workout time, I always will take a step in the direction of strength training and weight training.
