Like she said, I think it's really a case by case, but if I gave big, the big rocks, I think it comes down to a couple things.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
It's definitely, um, as I look at it objectively, genetics play a, a part of this But I, I think lifestyle is, too.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
So when you look at genetics and lifestyle, it comes down to when I assess or even someone can self-assess, is look at your current potential of where you are realistically and not comparing yourself to others, 'cause that's where a lot of people just get burnt out or they give up or like, "I'm so discouraged." And, and know that when you're always comparing yourself to others, you lose the fun part.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
You know, I think I'll be able to pull that off since we're on number two, and it, it's gonna kind of, in a way, I think the key word that Matt hit on is camaraderie.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
'Cause when you think about fun, you can have fun by yourself, but it's actually more enjoyable in a group setting, what you can do with a training partner or family, whatever the case might be.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
So I wanna really, really, really encourage everyone that is listening to this podcast to really reevaluate fun and sign up for some type of yoga class.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
Now, there's a wide variety of yoga classes, and I can tell you my short story.

Kurt MaddenGUEST
As I'm swimming in a place here in San Diego, a friend reached out to me multiple times like, "This would really, really be beneficial." I'm like, "Yeah, I get it." I was kind of in denial, and it's like, well, I'm thinking, "Why would I do that?" 'Cause I would be swimming, biking, and running.
