Reason 553 to get in shape: your car runs away at 1MPH

Not everyone wants to grow with you, but not everyone has to grow with you. Do it for yourself.

Men, especially my outdoorsmen friends,

Please Please Please give this a listen.

Your health isn't about being as fit as the next guy, or being the strongest guy in the room. It's about being better than you were yesterday.

That takes a little bit of sacrifice. It's going to hurt just a little for a little while... but so will being less healthy than you were yesterday.

Getting healthy is about doing the little hard things over and over again.

One thing that stood out to me from this episode was the quote "I didn't realize how bad I felt until I felt good."

If you're intimidated, reach out to someone. I PROMISE you that no one who truly understands what it takes to be healthy will make fun, or condemn you for asking for help.

PLEASE!!! Get started today. Your friends need you. Your family needs you. YOU need YOU. Show up for them. Show up for yourself.

Trigger Warning:

Getting in shape takes work.

It means lifting weights.
It means increasing your heart rate.
It means pushing yourself.
It means training to failure.
It means eating better.
It means getting enough sleep.
It means being disciplined when motivation disappears.

There is no injection, peptide, GLP-1, or otherwise, that can do those things for you.

I’m not against medications when they are used appropriately and under the guidance of a qualified medical professional... ok maybe a little...

Here's where I think we need to change the conversation:

Being smaller than you used to be isn't the same thing as being more fit than you used to be.

You can wear a smaller size and still be weak, under-muscled, out of breath, and physically incapable of doing the things you want to do.

Shortcut-searchers need not apply, but if you're looking to increase your strength, get more fit, and improve your mental discipline, get at me and let's train!
