How To Become Jason Bourne

In the words of Monty Python: And now for something completely different (I may have said that before – my apologies). Do you reckon Jason Bourne lacks mojo? I don’t think so! This fun article from Nerd Fitness teaches how to become Jason Bourne. They’ve broken down what it takes to become an International spy (without being an assassin – that’s just not cool). Not so strangely enough, first and foremost is physical fitness. For maximum mojo, we need to be in a peak state of fitness – there’s no way around that I’m afraid. The cool thing is that it can – and is – fun, to get into great shape.

“At this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking.”

Before we get into ANY other aspect of Jason Bourne’s life, we must first start with his physical fitness. Here’s a man who has been trained to operate at a peak physical level, prepared for any and every situation thrown his way.

Whether he’s scaling walls to chase down attackers, using parkour to efficiently move across rooftops, or relying on incredible grip strength to successfully climb down the side of a building, Jason is built for efficiency.

On top of that, Jason is probably the most antifragile character ever created.  The more chaotic the environment around him, the more he thrives.

If you want to become Jason, you must train like the man: functional movement, efficiency, speed, and muscular endurance.  Because he’s always on the run, Jason must be able to train anywhere and everywhere, and be prepared for anything.

Take a strength training routine (like the Playground Workout) and complete it every other day. On off days, spend time doing interval training, sprints, and parkour practice.

The strength training (with an emphasis on pull ups and push ups) will build muscles required to hoist yourself over any obstacle, while the sprinting and parkour will allow you to evade capture or chase down your target.

The topic of fitness is an interesting one. A lot of us make up excuses about not having time for exercise – where it really is the life force of being in a peak state so we can perform in the best way both mentally and physically. Which highly successful entrepreneurs do you know who don’t prioritise their health? I can’t think of one – sure there will be exceptions, but for the most part, they value their state of mind and to be in a peak state, we need to regularly move our bodies and work our vital organs, bones and skeletal system. Whatever we don’t use, weakens!
