BodyDay 86
Heavy and steady
Today's talk · preview
Day 86. Heavy things, then still things.
On Day 68 you stood on one foot. On Day 73 you carried something heavy for a full minute. Today you do both, back to back, because they belong together.
Here's why. Carrying makes you strong enough to hold the load. Balance keeps you steady when the ground isn't flat. A curb. A wet step. A kid tugging your arm while your hands are full. Strength without balance gets you hurt. Balance without strength doesn't carry much. Together, they keep you on your feet for years.
the rest is in the app
