While training one of my clients one day, I asked her why getting a pull-up was more important than a chin-up for her. Her reason was simple: "if I'm hanging from a ledge and can't do a pull-up to save my life, I'd be mad at myself for dying that way." That stuck with me for awhile. And even more so recently, I had an email come in, as well as a conversation with my wife, about why I do what I do. Why do I track calories every day? Even though, I could eyeball it or follow simple rules to stay in maintenance. Why do I train five days a week? Why do I constantly try and better myself? It all has to do with values. This is a bit of an update from a former post and early podcast episode. But it's not just about ME. I had an email come in from a listener and we chatted about why this---training, nutrition, and dedication---lifestyle is important to us. In this episode I cover: - 80/20 Principle
- You're not alone
- Finding your why
- Our relationships with food
- You may be someone's inspiration
- Watching my wife's grandmother scuttle across the floor
- Bizarro Episode
- Your body is a temple
- Preparing for the unknown
