@chrisboettcher9 Why run less?

@sam_sebe_samsa I spent years in my 20s running at least 4-5 days a week with minimal resistance training. I'm in the best shape of my life now because of the shift towards a more balanced approach with weight training.

@chrisboettcher9 @WigglesCEO (37) spend times with people from all different age groups.

@Am_I_Nutz @WigglesCEO Love that addition.

@chrisboettcher9 College is necessary for careers in Engineering Medical Other It’s not necessary for many other careers…

@chrisboettcher9 When a person who hasn’t hit their true peak has wisdom, knowledge, and the will to teach, they’re in a position to build a legacy. They’re also going to lap the field. They’re not only teaching younger people, they’re teaching older, wiser people too.
