Stats and Stats

Stats and Stats

I heard a “statistic” over the weekend that something like 10% of all the men who are over 7 foot tall in the US play in the NBA

When I looked it up I couldn’t find any real back up for it.

However I did come across a number of other stats, particularly around men’s health.

It started with over 1.9 billion adults being overweight in 2016.

And went rapidly down hill from there...

Particularly for men.

Don’t want to go all bleak, but the stats on everything from heart disease to diabetes are eye opening.

No matter how many times you come across them.

Unfortunately you’re not going to be able to have much impact on your height and ability to become one of the “10% of 7 footers to play in the NBA”, you can do a lot about becoming one of the other stats.

Such as:

1. Deciding to make your health a priority. Don’t become so busy on everything that you burn out or breakdown and can’t do anything. Making your health and fitness a priority will ensure you’re more effective anyway!

2. Set targets and create a plan: Be realistic when you start planning. How many workouts can you commit to each week? What kind of healthy foods will you be able to maintain as part of your nutrition? What times will you train during the week. And no if you’re a dad with 4 kids and a busy job, 7 one hour sessions a week is not likely to happen!

3. Start: Don’t over think the process and procrastinate it to death. Once you have your targets and plan in place, what you need now is action.

4. Assess and adjust - as necessary: To find out if your plan and action is effective you’ll need to track some data, such as your strength in certain exercises/your weight/blood pressure etc. Then assess if necessary and keep going if not.
