Banzo's sword and metric fixations
Are you a victim of your metrics? Are you constantly trying to better your metrics, just to feel frustrated and unaccomplished? I have been there, it is awful. In this post I present to you a set of principles that will help you use metrics to serve you and not the other way around.
Breakfast on the Road
The road can be a tough spot when it comes to good nutrition. However there are always options. The road is an excellent opportunity to apply the principles: do what you can with what you have where you are.
Eating in the car
My job as a fitness coach is to help people create the habits necessary to achieve their goals. Most of the time those habits go very much against traditional cultural practices, sometimes they go against my trainee’s very identity. This means there can be a great deal of resistance involved in changing habits. When I ask people to eat veggies for breakfast they usually look at me as if I were completely insane.

You probably have a friend who has told you that "a calorie is not a calorie". Most likely, you also have another friend informing you that calories are the only thing that matters. Maybe you think your emotional well-being is ultimately dependant on being in a caloric deficit because that is the only way you will feel amazing like you did when you were 25, and you were twenty pounds lighter. Maybe calories in a label is that magic number that makes you feel either guilty or guilt-free after eating food. Yup, calories, what a unit measure!

So is napping recovery? Is stretching better than rolling? What do you mean I should not be sore. No pain, no gain, dude! Of course I want to sleep better and longer, but then at what time do I work out if I am effing sleeping 8 hours? Should I ice or not? Should I run on my recovery days or should I do yoga? Why is Francine talking to me about floating chambers, and why is Henrick massaging himself weirdly with that percussion drill.
