#006 – Boxing Wake

by //

If there’s enough desire.. it will happen.

I had an epiphany. I’ve been really reserved practicing boxing on my own with no gym & no coach. The comments & posts online about bad habits and injury stemming from practicing alone is very loud. A video made me realize the worst habit was being reserved and doing nothing about it.

This episode I go through the mental breakthrough. Doing something is always better than nothing.

#005 – The Workout

by //

I was always the fat kid.

I was always the fat kid. I’ve tried a good chunk of diets & exercise methods out there. None of them worked. All were temporary fixes with minimal results. I’ve finally understood what works. It’s not the method. It’s the consistency. The hard work.

This episode I go through building my workout momentum.

#003 – The End Game

by //

The finish line is when I die.

Weightloss & exercise are stops along the journey. This whole health pursuit is a stop along the journey. I have recognized that health is the prerequisite to all my other goals.

In this episode I go through the big picture, building the ultimate foundation. I touch on motivation, goal setting, diet vs lifestyle change, striving for the journey rather than the end result.
