The Second-Wind Workout. And when I teach this to my clients, I use an acronym or just sort of a short form, 2WW, The Second-Wind Workout. Well, what’s that? You’re saying, Robin, you’re getting a little bizarre on us here. I don’t think so. If you look at the science behind exercise, it is a game-changer. So if exercise is so powerful, why would you only do it once a day? And I’ve shared with you the power of doing it first thing in the morning because as you begin your day determines the way you’ll live your day. But why wouldn’t you do a second workout? And it’s sort of like the runner, the marathoner, the ultramarathoner, if you study, and I’ve been reading some amazing books on the ultra marathoners, they will say that we’ve been running, let’s say 40 or 50 miles, and then something happens.
It’s almost spiritual, but it’s definitely neurobiological, where they get a second wind and they sort of tap into something very special. And I want that for you. So what I’m going to say to you, or suggest to you, is scheduled every day and practice it until it becomes a habit and maybe it’s five o’clock or six o’clock or seven o’clock, go for a second wind workout. Maybe it’s a swim. Maybe it’s a nature walk. I love nature walks, but what you’re going to find is you’re going to release more of the BDNF, more of the dopamine, more of the serotonin. You’re going to jump-start your metabolic rate, you’re going to shift your mood. All of a sudden it’s eight o’clock and you’re on fire to read, or to have fun with your family, or to do things that you never had the energy nor the focus to do. Why wouldn’t you?
