I like intensity when I train.\\xa0Lifting heavy,\\xa0running sprints, playing\\xa0Ultimate Frisbee. I keep it brief, and the foundation is always a lot of slow movement throughout the day\\u2014easy runs, long\\xa0walks\\xa0or\\xa0hikes, rarely\\xa0sitting\\u2014but I go hard when I \\u201cwork out.\\u201d

What if you were to go slow, on purpose?

Entire schools of physical culture are founded upon slow, deliberate movements. They squash momentum and lambast rapidity. They\\u2019re difficult in a different way. They require patience and fortitude.

Take yoga.
