Mount Iron is a popular yet accessible hike of about 4.5 km that shows panoramic 360 degree views over lake Wanaka and the surrounding town and mountains. It is an impressive, yet rocky knoll that rises above the surrounding area.
It is a relatively easy walk for most people albeit with some very steep sections. Named for it's iron like shape, it's a glacier-carved knoll with stunning views.
There were many other people along the walk too. I overheard some conversations that were pretty extreme that seemed to mirror scrolling through social media. No sugar, no rest days, extreme diets etc. Super strict and crazy routines that claim to be the secret to longevity or high performance.
Just like our walk last week, it is impossible to live your life with absolutes. Every high performing athlete I have worked with eats candy, potato chips and drinks alcohol occasionally. Every banker, tycoon, high performing person in their field is flexible with their routines.
Reason? Being too pedantic and/ or neurotic gets in they way of performance.
So remember to be flexible, thank yourself and not listen to the nay sayers nor follow those crazy and strict routines.
Happy New Year!
