Friday Jan 17, 2020
As the saying goes, “Nothing changes if you change nothing.” If you want to finally quit the grueling grind, jump off the struggle bus, and enjoy all the juicy mental and physical benefits of exercise, you’ll have to learn how to like it.

1) Go Goalless
2) Reject "No Pain, No Gain"
3) Know Your "Type"
4) Try New Things
5) Attend to the Atmosphere
6) Bust up Binary Thinking
7) Manage Intensity Better
8) Monitor What Matters
9) Add Goals

Latest Review (Audible):
"A little gem"
I'm a hard sell when it comes to books. If it doesn't grab me, I'm out. But the questions it asks at the start caught my attention. It never let go. After a refreshing analysis of fitness culture, it soon breaks into how to overcome the barriers we face, not by exercising better willpower, but by building a fitness routine based on something really personal... how you actually want fitness to feel.

42 [Interview] Ray Zahab: No Finish Lines
Friday Nov 01, 2019
Friday Nov 01, 2019
The adage is true, "Every Journey Starts with a Single Step", even if you're a professional explorer. Ray Zahab's transformation has included many, dodging rattle snakes and polar bears in the process. This ex-smoker has piled up over 15,000 KM of expeditions on foot in the most inhospitable corners of the planet; the Sahara, the South Pole, Death Valley, and Baffin Island (to name a few). But as he says he still "puts on his pants one leg at a time like everyone else". Tune in to hear about his evolution, one that Ray says "has no finish lines".
