Call it motivation, inspiration, or just a swift kick in the ass. David Goggins is one of the people I hear in my head when I need a push. In this video, I tackle 250 air squats in a row, setting a new personal record at 49 years old, improving from my previous best of 200. You can watch the challenge here: David Goggins Air Squats Challenge.

David Goggins, whose resilience and mindset I greatly admire, became known to me through various influences like the Joe Rogan podcast. His extreme endurance feats and mental toughness are what drive me during my workouts in the woods, which include hill sprints, hiking, and pushups—these are my favorite ways to stay active.

The day after these intense leg days, known affectionately as "Day After Legs," I focus on recovery with yoga specifically designed for runners and lifters. I've shared a 30-minute recovery yoga sequence that's beneficial for anyone looking to enhance their flexibility and recovery post-exercise. You can find the yoga sequence here: 20 Yoga Stretches for Runners & Lifters.
