Meeting with an inspiring personality

Earlier today I was at a show with Chris MacDonald. I never had the pleasure to experience him "live". My only reference was the shows he did on Danish Television. To my great pleasure a lot of his views on training and diets are the same as mine! However his approach is based on a little deeper scientific facts than mine. I will for now concentrate on the two issues I know something about (input), diet and physical activity (output).

I would strongly recommend you to read more about Chris MacDonald on his own blog.

Todays free "output" advice: 
#1 Use the stairs. 
It's is VERY difficult to change habits. In order to succeed - do it slowly and only one thing at a time, else you might get frustrated and easily drop back to what you used to do. 

Use the stairs - (NOT escalators). In the airport, avoid the automatic pavements. For the last 4 years I've been working full time as an Export Manager in a Danish Company. My work has required a lot of flying, in Europe, USA and Asia. 

Another principle of mine is when travelling in subways or with busses, I always try to keep my balance without holding on to anything. It improves my balance, I think it's great fun, and use a little more energy (output) than instead of just holding on to the rail. If you can't avoid escalators or automatic pavements - walk them instead of standing them!
