What Are YOUR Values? (Why I Train Part Deux)

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
