Physical Intelligence - Day 16

Attended my last session of my Agile Methodologies class, which means I can get back to my Monday Toastmasters class, it also maybe the last class I enroll this term.  I was planning to follow this up with a course on Big Data.  While this does not run on a Monday, the 90 day Physical Intelligence program does not fit with additional night classes.  So it may be a wise move not to enrol on the Big Data course and focus this freed time to physical intelligence.

I checked out talks about Big Data and fitness and the chief discussion is dominated by people who are selling stuff or who are running businesses that sell fitness.  Then I thought if I have a home gym, it might be interesting to listen to the perspective of fitness technologists :

Much of what is considered personal fitness metrics seem to have a rather narcissistic feel, in that the data it generates would be more interesting to those people who are obsessed about their own body data.  This is what I see in the Quantified Self movement, which can go to extreme lengths of personal fitness metrics but this guy from PBS sort of made sense of the QS movement, though what he says about it is only in the first 7 minutes of the video.

Today I was smart about squeezing gym between my regular activities and going to college.  Ironically I felt very sleepy and was just about to retire when I realized I had not logged today's physical intelligence journal.  The best way to counter procrastination is to get ahead of the game and not wait for life's game to come to me.

A year ago I was so enthusiastic about road-running but the enthusiasm did not last, it gave way to runners foot and knee injuries.  I consequently learned that pounding a concrete pavement with ordinary running shoes is not something I ended up enjoying, though I was so enthusiastic about this activity before I had the chance to run.
