Says on the COVID so it must be true. Mastering the Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance. And it does that. It starts looking in World War II at a bunch of soldiers that went to Crete. And these young fellas are trying to keep up with these old fellas running up and down the hills. So it made the story, made this guy think about it. What was it about these 70 and 80-year-old men that they were so fit and so flexible and so able to just to do life at full throttle as a bunch of old fellas? He talks all about it. I think it's just a brilliant book. I think it's challenging. I think it's nuanced. I I don't think it gets into the hype stuff. I think he's done his research and he talks about the things, practical things that you can do that help with your flexibility, long-term strength, particularly if you're older in life and you just want to be able to get on with it. So, got to do the review or people get ticked off at me. Full brilliant. Natural Born Heroes. Christopher McDowell. Link is in the bio. Cheerio! Drop a comment, tell me what you think.
