Why Gideon Akande Is Working out for 365 Days Straight
I'm the kind of friend that keeps up with people through their posts. And this year, it's been pretty hard to miss what my friend AND yours Gideon Akande is up to: he committed to doing 365 consecutive days of movement. He's calling it Project 365, and it's a lot less daunting than you might think.On this week's episode of the podcast, I asked Gideon to share the rules of his challenge - he didn't love the word "rules," but shared the guidelines nonetheless. Basically, he can do anything for exercise at any time of the day as long as it's "concentrated exercise" for a minimum of 15 minutes. So taking a walk for exercise versus taking a walk to commute and counting the multi-task.At first, I was worried about his recovery. "He'll burn out!" I thought. But on a closer look, he's doing this in a safe and strategic way. (It's almost like he's a personal trainer or something).So we talk about WHY he started and I found it completely relatable. As a new dad, he found himself moving less. And because movement is a big part of his life as a three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion, trainer, and national winner of the Men’s Health Next Top Trainer competition.He lives for movement and wanted to make sure he was walking the walk.I loved this entire conversation, but my favorite part was hearing what Gideon has learned in more than six months of this challenge. I won't spoil it for you, but the key word is JOY.Resources: * Gideon Akande on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/getfitwithgiddy/)* Get a 7-day trial of the get Fit with Giddy app (https://my.playbookapp.io/gideon-akande/checkout)* Body Bar Pilates (https://bodybarpilates.com/)* Gideon’s favorite Nigerian Foods: Iyan (https://afrifoodnetwork.com/recipes/swallow-recipes/pounded-yam/) and Efo Riro (https://simshomekitchen.com/efo-riro/)* Restore Hyper Wellness (https://www.restore.com/)* According to Live Sciences (https://www.livescience.com/should-you-work-out-every-day#:~:text=Working%20out%20every%20day%20is,lead%20to%20injuries%20and%20burnout.), you can work out every day IF you’re strategic.* Train moment (https://www.trainmoment.com/)* Lululemon Experiential (https://shop.lululemon.com/stores/us/chicago/lincoln-park/spaces/yoga-studio) (where you can find Gideon on the schedule)* Rise nation (https://rise-nation.com/chicago/)* Swish house (https://www.swishhouse.com/)* Communities: Movement (https://www.instagram.com/move__men__t/)* Northern Lights visible in Chicago this Wednesday July 12 (https://www.npr.org/2023/07/09/1186525577/northern-lights-aurora-borealis-2023)
