Hi, I’m Matt. Welcome to Steady Beats: a newsletter about building the middle-aged life you want in small and steady beats. It was a wild week as we evaluated applications to join the Student Success Team for Write of Passage Cohort 10, which kicks off April 17. Guides, Mentors, Leads, and Editors will support our students, and nearly twice as many people from the community applied to work with us this time compared to Cohort 9.
Hey Matt - Have you ever read "Younger Next Year." It came out in 2004 so I'm not sure how much of the data and research still hold up, but it made quite an impression on me when the author made the argument that once you hit 50 doing an hour of cardio every day is now your new job. And you just don't miss a day, just like you don't randomly decide you're not going to work. I think actually the program allows for a day off a week, but I took the data seriously, because there is a huge decrease in heart problems for those who stay regular with cardio exercise. I get on a spin bike I have at an elevating desk when I don't have the time to get outside, so I'm set up to get my heart rate up every day.
Great issue, Matt. I didn’t know about (sugarless) coffee’s anti-inflammatory properties. Thank you!
