Using social media is a massive net negative for most people. It doesn’t have to be.
Daily Habits: Aug 2023 (it’s time for a comeback!)
If you’ve been following my updates, you’ll know that things started to slip in June and July. There were reasons for that (getting a puppy, being sick etc.), but at some point I need to man up and stop the slide and bounce back.
Awesome things I’ve recently listening to, read and watched
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. In fact, I wasn’t sure I’d do another. However, I’ve stumbled across some fantastic pieces of content lately, and felt it was well worth sharing them.
Seven Common Mistakes That Can Lead to Injury (The Uncommon Life Podcast – E4)
I don’t claim to be an expert on anything. But, if there’s something I have a ton of experience in, it’s getting injured. 😂
f you’re training hard or playing sports, it’s almost inevitable that you’ll run into getting injured at some point – especially as you get older. Luis and I (Rich is on holiday!) cover what we feel are seven of the most common mistakes that can lead to injury. And we also share some tips and tricks that have helped us reduce the risk of getting injured ourselves.
The Uncommon Life Podcast – E3 (Where to start when making health a bigger priority in your life)
We made it to episode 3! We have a new intro, improved the sound quality (yeah, Rich got a mic!) AND we managed to keep it under an hour. Win.
I’m rarely present and in the moment (are any of us?)
Sometimes you have to be at the right place in your life to properly hear advice. It’s why people read books a second and third time. You get something different each time, because you’re in a different place in your life. It’s why someone can give you advice many times, over many years – and then one time it just clicks and you immediately make a change.
Daily Habits: July 2023 (am I on shaky ground?)
In June, my 6.5 hours sleep and 10K steps habits slipped below 80% (blame it on the puppy!).
I was hoping to tighten these up and get back to all eight habits at 80% or over for July. Let’s see how I did!
The Uncommon Life Podcast – Episode 2
We’re back with another episode of The Uncommon Life Podcast! In episode two, Rich, Luis and myself talk about each of our journeys towards being in the best shape, and best health of our lives. We at least hope that you can relate to some of our journeys – and that you find them useful for charting your own.
Two Years Sober
Well, it arrived. I’m now two years sober! As with most big changes, they usually happen in phases. These phases are very hard to predict up front, because one usually helps to shape the following one. Only looking back now, can I connect the dots and see how the journey came together.
I started a Podcast – The Uncommon Life
This has been a fun project to bring together.
Over the last few months I’ve been having more conversations with Rich and Luis on everything health, training, nutrition and discipline. So, taking this conversation into a podcast felt very natural.
