Paul Lyngso

Paul dives into part two of his decision-making framework, applying it specifically to fitness. Whether your goals center on longevity, aesthetics, or performance, Paul breaks down how to clarify your goals and get focused on what you want to achieve—be it building muscle, improving endurance, or boosting athletic performance.

Putting his decision-making framework into practice, Paul explains the importance of defining your personal “rules of engagement,” emphasizing how aligning fitness activities with your values, preferences, and available resources makes them more enjoyable and sustainable. He also outlines how to set clear parameters and KPIs (key performance indicators) to measure progress and know when it’s time to adjust your strategy.

Drawing from his own experience, Paul shares how he overcame his aversion to running by using more effective motivations like races (and history podcasts!) to make his running program gratifying and fun.
