Granted Back then, nearly 50% of private sector this is non-government jobs such as construction, freight, logistics, retail required at least moderate intensity physical activity. Currently, less than 20% of jobs demand this level of activity. The average work week is now longer too. Full-time e...

...this previous Monday, lots of cool stuff happening, lots of great connections, lots of great comments, great feedback. It's been a heck of a week and on top of that, it's been my 47th birthday.

This is the full version: where it came from, what it actually involves, and the promises it refuses to make. FIG. 01 The work is small and repeated. That is the whole trick. Every man in this wo...
