"I needed an exercise program that could be done at home and on my schedule"

Before 10x 
Just a bit of background. I am an active 80+ year young man in great health. I have always practiced knowing that my immune system was strong and that I am grateful for my excellent health (I take no Rx medication). I had become somewhat inactive due to the pandemic and did not have an active exercise program. I had just started the “slow five” program by Ben Greenfield and then couldn’t go to the gym. 

Doing 10x now!! 
I have just finished week 9 Day 61 of 10x and I feel great. 
My wife said she can already see a difference in my muscle tone and how I look. I not only know that I am stronger but I already have more energy. I really like pushing myself to the point of failure and then taking a but if a breather and adding a few more reps. 
The instructional videos are excellent and I would recommend the program highly. The fact that I can do the daily routine at a time of my own choosing and at home is a plus for me. 

The reason I joined this quest was that I needed an exercise program that could be done at home and on my schedule. It was easy to acquire the basic equipment that I needed from Amazon and I appreciate the “how to do it at home videos.” 

I am hoping to achieve three things from 10x. 
- First - continuance. I am establishing a habit for a program that I can easily continue once the quest is finished. 
- Second - longevity. I have a vision of adding many years to my life expectancy and have a goal of a healthy active life well beyond 111 years! I believe 10x will support and help me achieve this goal. 
- Third - lifestyle. I love to hike, backpack, kayak and enjoy being active especially in nature, and 10x will allow me to continue to enjoy the lifestyle I love! 
I will be excited to see the full results when I have completed the quest. I will be adding to my story at that time.

I do plan to continue the program and look forward to whatever guidance is available from Mindvalley and from the tribe. If you haven’t signed up, do it today! You will be grateful that you did.
