This week on the Balanced Warrior Podcast, Chris shares with Coach Mike his path to recovery after double knee replacement surgery.  Just three weeks prior to his surgery, he was standing on to of the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro, and then he was relearning how to walk.  Where most people in need of knee replacement do one at a time, Chris opted to get them both done at the same time so he would only have one surgery, one recovery, and one rehab.  Also, if it was a difficult recovery on one leg, he couldn't chicken out on the second one.  He knew it was going to be difficult, but he also knew the pain was going to be temporary and day by day he was going to improve.  For anyone who is hell-bent on keeping their passions alive as their body ages, or facing a hardship that needs to be overcome, this is the podcast for you.  Why, because no matter what obstacle is in front of you, it is having the right mindset that gets you through.  Some key takeaways are… It was necessary to mentally prepare prior to surgery Put a positive spin on whatever challenge you face It's all training Time is the greatest healer If something compromises your quality of life, just get it done We all should train for longevity  Strength and flexibility training becomes more important as we age If you enjoyed this podcast, please don't be shy and share it with anyone who would benefit from its content.  Visit empoweredmastery.com for more information, or contact us at [email protected] should you have any questions about Balanced Warrior and Empowered Mastery.
