| Bonus: WorkLife with Adam Grant Posted: 15 Apr 2021 06:15 AM PDT  Today, I'm excited to share a special episode of WorkLife with Adam Grant, a podcast from the TED Audio Collective. Everyone's career will hit some turbulence at some point. The past year has left us all reacting to dramatic change. Instead of pushing harder against the headwinds, we're sometimes better off tilting our rudder and charting a new course. In this episode, you'll hear from people who have taken unusual steps to battle uncertainty, rethought their approach to finding and landing a job, and reached out for help in unexpected places. You'll also hear from an expert on recessions who forecasts the future by looking to the past. Click the red audio player above to listen to the episode. And if you like what you hear, subscribe to WorkLife anywhere you get your podcasts. Keep reading on Quick and Dirty Tips |

Anything that keeps your body moving while also allowing you to get ready for your next set will do. Check out Get-Fit Guy's Hate Burpees? Here's How to Love Challenging Exercises to learn more about embracing exercises we all love to hate. The great thing about active recovery is that it maximizes your workout time and actually makes your recovery time more effective by flushing metabolic byproducts out of your muscles quicker and keeping your momentum up. Like the old saying goes: a meat-sack in motion stays in motion. Or something like that. Like the old saying goes: a meat-sack in motion stays in motion. Or something like that. Measuring recoveryThe key here is to make sure you are truly recovering between your hard sets. That means the movement you choose to do needs to be easy enough that your heart rate can come down and your body can flush the lactate from your muscles. In the video, I use an arm monitor and the iFit interface on my bike to keep an eye on my heart rate so I can see when I am back into my MAF heart rate zone.
The heart rate formula I use and mention in the video is... Keep reading on Quick and Dirty Tips |
