5 Lessons from Peloton instructor Denis Morton: 1. When opportunity arises, grab it • After finding yoga and doing it daily for 16 months... • Denis had the opportunity to become an instructor • But there was just one catch...

2. Progress is not linear (aka "you gotta kiss a lot of frogs") • The laundry list of jobs Denis had before Peloton is long & varied • Telemarketer, massage therapist & land surveyor to name just a few • But he finally broke into fitness in a DVD (!) called Yoga for Athletes

3. A body in motion stays in motion To make progress toward our fitness goals, we need to keep moving. • Progress compounds • Long-term gains are a function of putting in the daily effort • Avoid long, extended breaks in your training if you can

4. STRETCH! (especially if you're over 40!) An underappreciated part of making fitness gains is simply staying IN the game. That means avoiding injury through: • Proper form • Adequate rest time • And course, STRETCHING! Shout-out to @hannahcorbinnyc #didyoustretchtho

5. Always Bet on Yourself Finally, Denis had me ready to bust through a brick wall with this one. • Most of us accept false limits • When in reality, our potential is much greater than we think • When given the chance to bet on yourself, "Roll the dice."
