If you are like me, sometimes you need a bit of a boost to get things rolling. For example, it usually take me about 2-4 weeks to get back into a solid routine if something has caused me to stop whatever it was I was doing.

You have probably heard it a million times: No pain, no gain. While some pain is not good (muscle strain or tear, broken bones, tendonitis, etc.), some pain is a sign that you are doing things right.

Well I recently came across a company that makes dehydrated meals for a very specific diet and I was very impressed by the nutrition potential so I decided to look into it further. Continue Reading…
Rest is one of the absolute most important parts off any training program. Without rest, your body cannot recover; without sleep, your body cannot truly rest. You need 8-9 hours of sleep per night to maintain proper recovery and hormone balance. However, if it were possible to make the most of your body’s natural recovery processes while you sleep, there would be no reason to not take full advantage of it. Wilderness Athlete’s Nighttime optimizer is intended to do exactly that.
