  • How To Refocus on What’s Vital in Your Training

    How To Re-Focus on What’s Vital in Your Training

    It’s easy to get overwhelmed when stepping your foot in a gym: rows of machines to choose from, there’s kettlebells, barbells, dumbbells, bands, benches, suspension trainers, balls, walls, chin up bars and the mysterious “thing” that looks like a medieval torture device, once reserved for the witches. Quite frankly, the list reads like the inventory of your local hardware store. 

    You yearn clarity because it shaves time off your training while improving your results, so you can spend time on other, perhaps more pressing tasks. Such as finding your favorite left sock that’s been missing since Saturday. (more…)

  • Dusting Off Your Compass

    Unhappiness comes from striving and being something that goes against your principles and values. Living a life that other people hold to high standard, doesn’t do much for you. (more…)

  • How to Create Process Goals

    How to Create Process Goals

    A lot of us think we need to know all the answers before starting. Or that the goal we choose now is going to last for an eternity, as if our interest are the same now and in 5 years time. So we paint these grand, and sometimes scary goals that requires enormous amounts of work. Focusing on process goals is a great way to achieve larger goals that might seem too intimidating at first.  (more…)

  • 66 Unconventional Ways for Exceptional Fat Loss, Fitness and Health

    66 unconventional ways for exceptional fat loss, fitness and health

     

    Search the Internet for how to lose fat and you are bound to get about million hits with everything from how to time your macros to which way to hold a fork when eating an egg.

    Some of the points in this post are more philosophical and some are more practical. I first wrote hundred points but came to conclusion that the last thing we need is another post on the best protein sources and whether boiled potato has better nutritional value than a grilled sweet potato.

    My reason for this post is to help you to build your own principles and rules to follow. From now on I want you to be indifferent and ignore the latest and craziest fitness trends that come and go. Learn to sit on your principles and watch the fools do the running.  Find what’s right for you. Let’s begin.

  • What Are You Prepared to Give Up?

    What Are You Prepared to Give Up-

    I know you love goal setting; everyone does. You’ve got grand goals you want to reach, peaks to climb, distances to run, weights to lift, money to make and names to take. Everyone loves the thought of reaching goals, and you are no different. But how much thought have you put into how hard you will have to work for this goal? What things will you have to give up in order to reach it? How much hardship will you have to go through? (more…)

  • Retrospect and Re-Focus

    Retrospect and Re-Focus

    I wrote a long post on reviewing the past year but changed things around a bit after reading Nate Green’s post on retrospect last week.

    A wrap up of the past year is a nice way to look at what worked, what went wrong, what did you learn and what do you have to get better at in 2016. It’s also true that once something is made public it’s easier to stick to it as there’s all that accountability and stuff. Let’s begin.
    Warning: this is a long one. (more…)

  • Align Your Goals with Your Values

    It’s crucial to base your fitness goals in the values that mean something to you. Finding your “why” is important when setting up goals but it is as important (if not more importarter – I can say that, it’s my blog) to discover or revisit your values before just putting empty words on a piece of paper.

    When you base your goals on what the society, your family, your friends, co-workers or SpongeBob (imagine walking around wearing square pants because he said so) considers to be right  but ignore what you really believe in, you will end up pushing water uphill. You will feel like you are failing at everything because you are trying to get somewhere where you really don’t want to get to.

  • How To Have Success With Your Fitness Program In 2015

    Confession: I personally don’t like New Years resolutions. To me it doesn’t FullSizeRender (1)matter whether it is the 1st of January or 24th of October; if you want to change something just do it NOW instead of waiting around for the calendar to tick over. After all it’s just a calendar, what difference does it make?
