Therefor, exercise with tai-chi and will be must suitable. Since it is use the inner power. However, control our eating habit and do normal activities could be better.

I bought my protein and have been feeling great, it's totally worth it. I already see my old self coming back after being and eating healthier... Actually I setup my "Physical Workout Setting" in my living room (lol). It is a lot easier to watch TV and lift weights and run on the treadmill, because I previously had my weights in the garage and it was hard to get dedicated - especially in the AZ heat.

Like you, I've been on a journey to reclaim my body and energy following childbirth (at 41) and then a serious car accident (at 43). It's been a journey of experimenting with many healing/exercise modalities, so I'm very excited to read the series as you work through the Freedom Formula. Exercise is not my area of expertise, however, here's a couple of modalities that I discovered through personal research & experience that are nice compliments, albeit woo-woo leaning, to those you've suggested for Phase 2 with qualified therapists: - Cranial-sacral therapy - Guided imagery for healing - Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), and it's cousin: - Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) As for self-treatment, I also found active-isolated stretching to be a very effective technique. Thanks again, and looking forward to learning more through this series. Jonathan, thank you so much for – what appears to me – broaching this topic comprehensively for us 40+ less-than-Olympians.

Very inspiring project. It's always hard to balance work and self-care. For me it's always been a struggle. Perhaps this "balancing" effort is really the meta-work that creates sustainability and longevity. BTW, I'm curious if you have come across the work of Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who wrote what I think is *the* seminal book on nutrition and diet, Eat to Live. Really enjoy your blog... Great topic.

Too bad many of us only have time for a few of these steps. Sometimes the world of investment, philanthropy, and innovation is a little too hectic to squeeze personal fitness in. Inspiring post.

Since getting laid off in December, I rediscovered the gym and have lost 25 pounds so far. I am now a certified Zumba instructor working on getting group & personal fitness certified while completing prerequisites for physical therapy school. Fitness is one of my passions and I'm excited to read your recommendations and follow your progress! Cheers! I’m really looking forward to this series!

I sense that you are after something comprehensive here and I would like to suggest that you zero in more from the 'overview" perspective to some more nitty-gritty, down to details information. Forgive me if I say too much, but you are starting way back from the subject rather than walking the reader through it. Theory comes out of experience. If you put theory first the reader has to --- wait. BTW I love your blog! This is not very specific.

I know enough to realize I don't really know squat. That being said, exercise details would be nice ... diet is more about doing more of what I know I should do. I’m 48, soft and out of shape BAD.
