The only podcast that combines fitness and programming and does it in less time than it takes to finish your workout. Robert: Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Get Up and CODE. On today's episode, I'm very happy to let you guys know that I have a guest and that I also wanted to share an idea that I came up with in order to present you with the fitness information that we all need to hear. Let me get started with that. I've been thinking on how to deliver this information to you guys, and I just didn’t want to just give you the obvious because we're all smart. We all know that we got to eat better. We got to drink more water, sleep longer, exercise. So I came up with the idea of a challenge and I'm calling this challenge The Refactoring Your Body Challenge. This is where I'm going to be taking an IT professional and get him or her ready for the fitness stage or to look their best. I will take someone under my wing. I will teach, train and inspire this individual. The idea is to bring awareness to the advantages of being fit. Without further ado, let me introduce my guest for today's show. His name is Carlos Navarro. He's actually my younger brother, someone that I respect. As I said, he's also a software developer. I guess we took after our mother. She was a programmer back in the punch card era. Just to give you some quick trivia about that era that back then, a normal or a minute typing error generally necessitated the repunching of an entire card. If you could just imagine that. Now, we're so spoiled with the IDEs and the IntelliSense that is just—I can't even imagine how it used to be back then for those programmers. These programmers then, they also wrote older code in special forms called coding sheets that then they would have to hand off to a keypunch operator in order for that individual to convert them into punched cards. Let me go ahead and introduce Carlos Navarro. How are you feeling, Carlos? Carlos: I'm feeling actually great today. Robert: What brought you here besides my cooking? Carlos: Well, I drove my vehicle and it's not too far from my house, but you always have to make a little joke here and there. Reality it’s the idea of refactoring my body because we always want to fix our code, improve our code and make it more efficient but we never think about our bodies that way. Our bodies are machines that we have to take care of to be able to produce good code and really focus on our task. Basically,
