#012 – Slight Detour

by //

I went full circle on diet. Normal diet, to vegetarian, to vegan, to whole food plant based, back to a normal diet.

Bodyweight training has gotten more intense lately to the point where I’ve decided to shift some goals. For the next phase, I’m planning to focus on strength training. I see the importance of it as a foundation to all my future pursuits as well. It’s exciting to see a goal so clearly. To see the finish line so clearly that I have to remind myself to feel and experience the journey. After all the journey is where the high is really at.

This episode I go through my full circle of diet, my re-feeding experience, the shift in mindset & goals, and the overall update for the week.

#011 – Cardio Love

by //

Building endurance, time to fall in love with cardio.

I’m starting to see cardio as a foundation of health & fitness. The natural steroid. When obtained rates of progress increased, recovery periods shorter, natural endurance longer.

This episode I go through my thought process on the importance of endurance. It seems much more than merely burning calories.
