There is plenty of evidence showing the biological impact of a sedentary lifestyle. Now, not everyone needs to be a power lifter going for north of 300lbs on the major lifts. But there is also a preponderance of evidence showing the benefits to at least some level of strength training over the entirety of an individual's life, in most cases even exceeding that of cardio work.2015 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 1:25 pm
Never. Because with all things in life based on a system (the body is based on a biological system), more can go wrong than right. As Charlie Munger would say, "invert, always invert." In this regard, all I want to know is the date of my major injury so I don't show up that day.
In goal setting, always ask, "and then what?" You're a powerlifter and you throw your back out. Or, you're an eighty year old who engaged in powerlifting when younger. What do you think the likely impact your prior actions will have had on your biology?
In this case, inaction will cause more to go wrong than go right.
To stretch it to investing, simply setting and forgetting your portfolio will likely cause more to go wrong than go right. Occasional re balancing, adjusting asset allocation based on age/changing risk tolerance, and continuously lowering costs are more healthy ways to invest then neglect.
