238: Are You Masking or Fixing The Problem?

Just because it’s a fad doesn’t mean we have to line up and follow the pack, you know that right? We are human beings with the power and ability to reason and question the things that go on around us. By “masking” the problem I am referring to putting a bandaid over a knife wound instead of “Fixing” the problem by going and getting the wound stitched so that it heals properly without further negative consequences (infection, etc.). When thinking about our health and daily body functionality are we putting on multiple bandaids (taking pain killers, calling in “sick” to work, etc.) everyday or are we seeking out solutions (making an appointment with a physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, dentist, doctor, naturopath, changing eating habits, tracking our food consumption, etc.) to fix the underlying problems? You know you. Where are you at? What can you do differently? Are you going to? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tim-howie/message

237: Push Through
We all have those days! I had one just yesterday. All I did was walk 6500 steps but it sure felt good to get out of the house and do something active for 30 to 35 minutes. Just do something, going to bed knowing you did something is more positive reinforcement and going to bed realizing you did nothing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tim-howie/message

236: Time Attack
Now, I have mentioned tracking or journalling your workouts and your routines in the past. However, another method to see where you are at, or rather to measure yourself is to add time to a particular exercise. This measures your muscle capacity and endurance. If you are great at pull-ups or think that push-ups are easy time yourself performing 25, 50, 100 reps and see how long it takes you to complete the full 100 or other number you choose. Then test yourself next week or next month and see how things change. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tim-howie/message
235: Avoid The Fad, Fuel Your Mental Health
Stop following the fads guys! There is a lot of crazy info out there and most of it is unsustainable. I teach what I’ve been living for the past 8 years and the way my wife and I live to this day. This episode dials into a game changing strategy I use to avoid gaining weight - just a heads up, it’s nothing earth shattering and you’ll probably think it’s against conventional modern “wisdom” and you’d be right, it is! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tim-howie/message
