challenges

life is full of challenges and just when you think that you’ve gotten past one, it isn’t long before another appears.  It’s not unlike climbing high mountains, where getting to the top is only the first half of the struggle and then the real danger begins as you climb down.  However, if you stay focused and connected to what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and share your experiences, you’ll stand a much better chance of emerging stronger and wiser than before. 
pain avoidance
I believe that the true danger lies in our instinct to make the pain go away as fast as possible, to isolate ourselves, use drugs, alcohol or toxic food, and ultimately to disconnect from those we love.  In doing this we lose our focus and forget our strengths.  I know this only too well personally.  rather than turning away from our pain and fears, I believe you need to embrace and understand them and so you can discard them or dismiss them more readily.  this process is constant and probably life long but it is worth it as the alternative is suffering. 
goal
my goal is to help you through this hopefully by offering inspirational, and practical advice on how to overcome some of life’s challenges and give you the physical stamina, skills and methodology to excel at what you love… or to help you find out what that may be. -

To that end, over the next few weeks I will be posting a variety of how to content and exercise examples to help fuel your mind and body with ideas on how to move better.  In addition, I will be offering intelligent exercise sequences for sale via a new online store.  the purpose of the store is to provide you with the information and tools for you to train better and address specific functional needs that you may have.  I look forward to bringing you new content and information and hope you will participate in further discussion.
