Today we are trying to decode the psychological falsehoods that we often tell ourselves prior to starting something new. This self talk can happen before starting a new workout, a new job, or attend a new class at a gym.

Welcome! Today we are discussing Part 2 of How Build Self-Reliance. These steps (#6-10) include packing a "To Go Bag" containing survival items, food, back up fleece, water, etc; observing and absorbing nature; building skills tangential to your career; performing regular physical challenges; and spending time outdoors. 

I believe this is a very important topic to address, since functional strength has been diminished, as we enter another year of working from home, excessive sitting, and limited gym accessibility. 

In this episode, I discuss strength training progressions that everyone can do to stretch tight muscle groups, and strengthen underactive muscle groups. The chief among these progressions include push up holds, bodyweight squats, planks, lunges, supine rows, prone shoulder Y-T-Ws.
