So, tomorrow marks 50 years since the first moon landing.
————— To the flat-earther who paid for that billboard by the Tesco roundabout and who reads these blogs, please don’t reply ————-
That fateful day when Louis Armstrong and Buzz Lightyear (as my actually very intelligent wife famously once said) took those first steps onto the lunar surface.
Amazingly, we’ve only been back five more times and not for 47 years now.
The visions of colonising the moon and other planets seems to have stopped (or at least slowed considerably).
A lot has changed since then.
Much for the better.
Some not so much.
There’s been huge progressions in our understanding of nutrition and exercise.
Both at the most cutting edge level and across society.
But there’s also been an awful lot of confusion.
A lot of conflicting advice.
Stuff that can work if we understand the principles behind it being pushed as magic cure (usually to get you to part with your money).
So………….
I thought it might help to rewind 50 years.
To re-phrase a lot of modern health and fitness talk as it would (or could) have been expressed n 1969.
Modern version on the left – 1969 version on the right:
High intensity interval training (HIIT) – Getting your workout done quicker by working harder with a few rests where needed
Intermittent Fasting – Skipping meals
Fasting – Not eating
Most ‘diet plans’ – Cutting out food groups so you eat less overall
Most ‘supplements’ – Pointless
Sure, there’s a bit more to most of these.
But only a bit more.
None are magic.
They all rely on the ‘principle’ of consuming less calories or using up more for weight loss.
And challenging the body physically to make to make it fitter and healthier.
And all can be suitable for different people for different reasons (logistical, personal preference, hormonal and more).
But they don’t need to be dressed up in fancy modern talk when the 1969 description actually helps you understand why they work much better 🙂
Much love,
Jon ‘Phil Collins’ Hall and Matt ‘Yuri Bear’ Nicholson
