Comment on How do I get in shape? Excercise Hack for Entrepreneursparent

Intense exercise. I usually come close to puking when I lift. Keep moving and breathing hard.

I go to a track and do various kinds of intervals. Sprint 50m, walk 50m for example. It doesn't even take 20 minutes and if you do it right you should be quite sore the next day.

Fitness comes from pushing your tolerance, NOT from investing a lot of time. You should be pushing yourself hard enough that working out the next day will not feel like an option.

Excellent and oft-overlooked point. Yudkowsky's recent advice that a 'strong' effort leads to mediocre results, and that to actually progress you must strive as your life were at stake, fits fitness perfectly. Once you've picked off the low-hanging fruit by starting a regular exercise routine, you'll only get in really good shape by putting in a life-or-death effort.

Another couple of quick questions: have you noticed notable improvements with your methodology? Or is it more of a keep in shape type thing? Could you email me whenever you have a chance. Thanks man.

Excellent. I just moved close to Tuft's where there's a track. I'll try it out - thank you.
