Quotes

“I’ve always preferred to train in extremes, if that makes sense. I would not choose to lay around outside on a 110-degree day but I wouldn’t mind going for a hike or a walk, because once I get moving I find that cooling.” (8:57) 

“If you have a floor you have a built-in training program to maintain the capacity and the function of your knees, hips, ankles, and spines, it’s just that we never take it all the way.” (16:35) 

“It's not an aversion to comfort, it's simply trying to change the geometry of my household, it's really that simple. I want the places for my butt to rest to be different than the places that my butt has been resting for the past 40 years.” (34:07)
