A few weeks ago, a friend asked me why I was so passionate about fitness. As I started to answer, I realized I needed to share my own journey with exercise. Here is that story. I was fifteen when my body first failed me. I was chasing my younger cousin on the beach and felt an unprecedented level of physical exhaustion. Instead of the normal voice claiming tiredness, I heard a primal scream from my body. As if my cells were yelling: "we can't do this". I had always been an active and energetic kid.

Hey friend 👋, Welcome to the 69th edition of the Kaizen Newsletter ⛩, a weekly newsletter where I share my thoughts, new ideas I learn and make weird connections between self-improvement, productivity, product, tech, sports, anime. This week, I continue trying the audio newsletter format, and hopefully made it better than last time. Last week, I recorded at 3 AM, which is why my voice was so low. This week, I’m still recording pretty late, but hopefully, it’s a small improvement from last week.
