One Step at a Time
10,000 steps a day; it’s been my goal for over five years using Garmin. But long before that, I was already making huge numbers of steps in a day - they just weren’t recorded. I would wake up in the middle of the night to pace growing up, as it was the only time I really had to myself. I wrote all about that here. I never grew out of it, though now I am able to freely walk about the house at any hour.

Traveling the World Without Leaving My Basement
Last week I completed my 12th tour of different parts of Egypt. I have walked approximately 14 miles through the desert. I have toured Giza, including the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx. I have walked to the Bent Pyramid of Dahshur, and the Pyramid of Sakkara. I have walked through Luxor, Egypt, visiting the Karnak Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and have gone inside the Tomb of King Tut. I have walked the streets of Cairo, visiting the Al Moaz Street Bazaar and Tahrir Square. I have loved every minute of these tours, thanks to my tour guide - the entertaining, informative, highly educated Egyptian Egyptologist, archeologist, and Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker, Ramy Romany. It did not hurt that he allowed his sense of humor to occasionally intersperse his serious explanations. He REALLY hates camels. I am laughing as I write this, recalling how he kept his distance from one of the huge beasts while giving me facts about their legendary spitting, mean tempers, and foul odors.

After 40, Bobby Maximus talks about training every single day.
When you reach the age of 40, the world tells you that you can no longer accomplish certain things, such as recuperate from exercises as quickly.

What Happens If You Don't Stretch After Working Out?
Putting on your spandex, let alone working out, might be difficult on certain days. If you're pushed for time or have a million other things to do, you may finish your jog, bike, or weight training exercise and head straight to the shower. Stretching, on the other hand, is an important element of a good workout program, and neglecting it might have negative implications beyond feeling stiff the next day.
