League of Wildness,

I just posted this as my currently favorite quote, "Relentless Forward Progress". It's been a very useful concept for me in 2023 and I hope my experience sparks some thought in yourself.

League of Wildness,

We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson. 

Mr. Money Mustache recently posted an excellent article after he'd consumed 80+ of content from Dr. Andrew Huberman. Pete (aka Mr. Money Mustache) also made an excellent chart comparing and contrasting what he termed the "Default" vs "Science" lifestyles. This inspired me to make a chart comparing the "Standard" vs "Wild" lifestyles.

My #1 question is: why do we ...

League of Wildness,

We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson. 

I saw an article about how consistently diets DO NOT work and it made me consider the importance of longterm repeatability. Specifically, if you are going to pursue something to improve your health and fitness it MUST be consistently repeatable for essentially - the rest of your life. Interestingly - as you get healthier there will come a point where to get even ...

We're back with @wilddanvinson and @kimbreimeier.

In this episode:

• A quote by ultrarunner Courtney Douwalter:  “The best way for me to train right now is no coach, no plan, and really just tuning into those signals – physical, mental, emotional,” she says. “Then every day I can assess myself and see where I’m at for the day." Have you tried this approach and does it work for you? Do you need a plan going in...

This recording is from a weekly Packmeet in our wild gym League of Wildness private Facebook group. Much of the discussion was inspired by listening to Dr. Peter Attia discuss his new book, Outlive. I find it so fascinating in our increasingly modern and complex world how it truly is the most basic elements that provide the biggest levers to pull in regards to ou...

This recording is from a weekly Packmeet in our wild gym League of Wildness private Facebook group. Much of the discussion was inspired by Kelly and Juliet Starrett's new book Built to Move. There are a ton of parallels to what we talk about at wild gym and we really appreciate and respect Kelly's no B.S. approach to health and fitness. We also love the live comm...

League of Wildness,

I was recently recommended the book 4,000 Weeks - Time Management for Mortals by my good friend, the Wildman of the North, Erl. I've read the book twice now and I suspect round #3 is imminent. I believe it is a must-read for every member of the LoW and it's principles will have a dramatic impact on your mental health and ultimately - life satisfaction. Thank you,...

League of Wildness,

I've been getting into a really solid system combining Rucking + Running in addition to more classic strength and conditioning workouts. I added it up and on average - I'm doing 3.28 "workouts" every day. Keep in mind - this is the combination of Yoga/Mobility, classic workouts, Rucking, Running, and good old fashioned static-stretching. 

Some days I'll "workout"...

League of Wildness,

It's good to get back on the mic. We just wrapped up the Wild Day Challenge - a 21 day challenge where we committed to working out OUTSIDE. The energy and enthusiasm was epic and we're psyched to do more. Even if you were not able to participate in the challenge, I'd still encourage you to join the group.

League of Wildness,

I recorded this episode immediately after an awesome workout I did out here in the wild that I wanted to share with you all. The idea was to accumulate 75 Pullups while hiking about 4.5 miles up a mountain. I did this by stopping at different trees along the way and busting out Pullups off of a branch. Afterward, I did an arm finisher where I did 3 sets of 8 Curls with a rock (tempo 31x1) immediately followed by...
