The Antidote to Stress

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 need a Neuroscientist to prescribe a lifestyle that would probably be obvious to our grandparents? This is the question that continues to haunt me. If you have questions, comments, or a potential guest suggestion please send a note to info@wildgym.com or send us a DM to @wildgymco on Instagram. Let's keep the conversation going.

Standard vs Wild Lifestyle

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 healthier it will take massive effort to continue to improve your health. At this point, the focus can start to shift towards maintenance.  In this episode: The gold standard of any practice is repeatability. Why unprocessed foods can help a ton to reduce caloric load. Thinking about nutrition and diets as a practice. ...and much more!

Repeatability - the Gold Standard for Any Practice

League of Wildness, 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 into your workout or do you feel your way through it? We often talk about "listening to your body", but knowing that we often aren't honest with ourselves, does this result in gaps in our health/fitness?  When you are out in places like airports, waiting at appointments etc, do you notice things about people and their health patterns? Have you noticed that anything has changed in the last 5-10 years? Do you talk to your kids about fitness and nutrition, or do you mostly set an example? 5. What food do you think is the most underrated in terms of how much you get for your money?   ...and much more!

Habit Energy, Training by Feel, and Being Honest

League of Wildness, We're back with @wilddanvinson and @kimbreimeier. This recording is from a weekly Packmeet in our wild gym League of Wildness private Facebook group. Kim and I have been sending each other a list of topics to marinate on before we record and the discussions have been solid. We continue to LIVE the live comments from the LoW during our discussion - keep em' coming. In this episode: Are stretching and mobility work the same thing?  Why do you think avoiding your phone/device in the morning makes such a big difference?  We talk often about movement and exercise, and the differences between them. It seems like walking, and its sibling, rucking, can offer the perfect balance of both. Is that accurate? How much could we accomplish for our health goals if we just did those 2 things?  What do you think is the biggest factor that keeps people from spending more time outdoors?  When I was a kid, fitness standards were a part of our physical education curriculum. Do you think adults should be aiming for certain fitness goals? What would they look like?  If you were going to "prescribe" 3 stretches and 3 exercises to do daily because they make the biggest difference, what would they be? ...and much more!

Protecting Your Mind, Fitness Standards, and the Best Exercises

An ongoing conversation about health, fitness, mindset and expanding your imagination of what is possible.

League of Wildness, We're back with @wilddanvinson and @kimbreimeier. 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 our health.  We continue to LIVE the live comments from the LoW during our discussion - keep em' coming. In this episode: How do you measure health? What are your top 3 metrics for measuring health? Shouldn't health be the default state? In the wild - most animals are healthy by default?  What are the top 3 obstacles to health you see for yourself and for others? What is your reaction to the idea of 'prescribing' exercise? Shouldn't it be obvious? Best piece of health advice you've received? Worst health advice? ...and much more!

Your Health - Your Responsibility

League of Wildness, We're back with @wilddanvinson and @kimbreimeier. 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 comments from the LoW during our discussion - keep em' coming. In this episode: When did health/fitness become something you had to consciously think about and plan? How much of our modern ailments would be solved by spending more time outside? Why do we have to do so much to counteract the human zoo we've created?

Much of the discussion was inspired by Kelly and Juliet Starrett's new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Built-Move-Essential-Habits-Freely/dp/0593534808/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1LE4OSGRXTLA6&amp;keywords=ready+state&amp;qid=1681314740&amp;sprefix=ready+stat%2Caps%2C114&amp;sr=8-2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Built to Move</a>. 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 comments from the LoW during our discussion - keep em' coming. In this episode: <ul><li>When did health/fitness become something you had to consciously think about and plan?</li> <li>How much of our modern ailments would be solved by spending more time outside?</li> <li>Why do we have to do so much to counteract the human zoo we've created? Why do we need books, app, websites, coaches, etc to tell us to do things that would be more or less 'natural' if we didn't live in a man-made environment?</li> <li>How to reconcile the benefits of modernity with living in a way that doesn't require special programs to fix all the consequences of desk work.</li> <li>What single health/fitness practice has had the biggest impact in the past year?</li> <li>How does the idea that going outside is a somewhat profound solution to many modern ailments strike you?

Learn to Move Better and Be Healthy by Living Wild

League of Wildness, We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson.  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, Erl! In this episode: Why solving for increased productivity will never work. Why the future will never arrive and how accepting our finitude is key to actually enjoying life. What is actually in our control. The problem of choice and why having too many options can lead to anxiety and dissatisfaction. ...and much more!

I don’t care if you buy our products

League of Wildness, We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson.  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" for 2+ hours and other days I'll be at 30-40 minutes. What's important to recognize is that I do something everyday - every rep counts. I also dive into a more nuanced protocol known as "Interval Weight Training". I've been getting into these workouts the past few weeks and they are no joke. They're not something you'd necessarily do year-round, but can be used in 4-6 weeks blocks if you want to crank up the intensity. I encourage you to try the concept out for yourself. It's good to be back on the mic! If you have questions, comments, or a potential guest suggestion please send a note to info@wildgym.com or send us a DM to @wildgymco on Instagram.

Sunshine and Wildness

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 5 heavy single-arm curls (each arm) with my backpack. It was legit! As mentioned in the episode, you don't need to hike up a mountain to do this workout. Load up a backpack and head out into your neighborhood or local park with pocket monkii, MB2, OG monkii bars, or whatever else you have. It's easy to quickly set up, bust out a set of Rows and Curls, then continue on your way. You'd be amazed at how much volume you can do without breaking yourself down following this Microworkout protocol.  Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Authentically Wild

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.

Howdy monkiis, For this episode, I talk more about the monkii-style of time-under-tension training and how I've been using it lately. I'm pretty psyched to explore this modality more deeply and add it to the monkii training ecosystem. I also wanted to talk briefly about an article I just posted about my thoughts on 'natural movement'. I have spent a lot of time living in the wild and it always surprised about how training not in the wild did not translate over nearly as much as I thought it would.

Time-Under-Tension Training and Natural Movement

Mason Gravley

Howdy monkiis, This is an episode I have been waiting literally months to do and I am beyond psyched to introduce the 'Train for Adventure' episode featuring Mason Gravley, host of the Adventure Sports Podcast and Lead Adventurer for Athletic Brewing. Mason has had some epic journeys traveling all across North America by bike and he has endless stories that will make you sweat and then laugh like a Wildman/Wildwoman. What I also really appreciate about Mason's adventure style is that he always tries to have them be more than about him. His trips have raised thousands of dollars for several different charities and I think this often gets overlooked. He's all about making the world a better (and Wilder) place and his actions speak for themselves. His podcast, the Adventure Sports Podcast mentioned above has hundreds of episodes that never cease to get me pumped and help expand my imagination for my next trip. Definitely check it out. If you are enjoying the Live Wild or Die Podcast, we would be eternally grateful if you could leave us a 5-star review wherever you get your podcasts. It helps to grow the monkii family and spread the good word of the Wild. Thank you.

Howdy monkiis, I received a great question from our Director of monkii Ops, monkii Kim about the best time to train. (Great question!) I also think we should do a 'monkii Kim's question of the week/month/etc'. Yes? Yes! Here is an article I found that generally summarizes my thoughts and I agree with: https://time.com/5533388/best-time-to-exercise/ I also talk about the dealing-with-injuries mindset, some monkii Time-Under-Tension training and more.

Best Time to Train? (monkii Time-Under-Tension Training and Dealing with Injuries)

Hey monkiis, Thanks for tuning into this quicky episode. I received some great feedback from a variety of monkiis who tuned into the last episode "Stress and Anxiety", thank you! I am compiling your tips, strategies, and tactics and look forward to sharing them with the monkii family. I've been much more focused on mobility and flexibility in the last few months and cannot overemphasize the importance of this, especially for the long game. I want to be able to be as Wild as I am now in 50 years and to achieve this I have to train smart. We will keep going deeper on this topic. Thanks for tuning in and we monkii Elders would be eternally grateful if you could leave a 5-star review. Thank you! monkii on, -monkii Dan www.monkii.co

Training Recap 1/21/2020, Body-Maintenance and Longevity (Quicky Episode)

Howdy monkiis, This episode was inspired by some recent training, some recent podcasts I've listened to, and a few books I've been reading recently.  I have started to include more isometric training as well as single-arm training specifically into pulling exercises (Rows/Pullups). I feel that this helps to pull the shoulders back and combat the constant rolling forward of the shoulders due to our modern world/phones. I've also been including regular single-arm pull training with Rows and Pullups. It's been a goal of mine for years to be able to do a one-arm Pullup. Maybe 2020 is the year...  I've also been including a regular sauna session after training 2-4 times per week. It feels WILD and I also include stretching in the heat. This significantly improves my range-of-motion and I see a real difference. Try it. I listened to another episode of The Ready State podcast in which they discussed how the mind plays a role in endurance and performance. Alex Hutchinson was the subject-matter-expert and there and a ton of great takeaways for monkiis. Lastly, I am psyched to introduce the monkii Book Club. Basically, I wanted to share some of the books I have read, or, am currently reading. I recently completed Empire of the Summer Moon and am about 1/3 through Sapiens.

Howdy monkiis, This episode was inspired by some recent training, some recent podcasts I've listened to, and a few books I've been reading recently. I have started to include more isometric training as well as single-arm training specifically into pulling exercises (Rows/Pullups). I feel that this helps to pull the shoulders back and combat the constant rolling forward of the shoulders due to our modern world/phones. I've also been including regular single-arm pull training with Rows and Pullups. It's been a goal of mine for years to be able to do a one-arm Pullup. Maybe 2020 is the year... I've also been including a regular sauna session after training 2-4 times per week. It feels WILD and I also include stretching in the heat. This significantly improves my range-of-motion and I see a real difference. Try it. I listened to another episode of The Ready State podcast in which they discussed how the mind plays a role in endurance and performance. Alex Hutchinson was the subject-matter-expert and there and a ton of great takeaways for monkiis. Lastly, I am psyched to introduce the monkii Book Club. Basically, I wanted to share some of the books I have read, or, am currently reading. I recently completed Empire of the Summer Moon and am about 1/3 through Sapiens. I cannot recommend these books enough and they actually have quite a bit of crossover so reading them back to back is encouraged.

Isometrics, Heat Therapy, Neural Plasticity, and the monkii Book Club

Hey monkiis, This episode was inspired by an episode of The Ready State hosted by Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett. Their guest was an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Nick DiNubile who discussed the current state of musculoskeletal health as well as what we can do to make sure that we do not have to go see people like him. They really emphasize the concept of preventive body maintenance as well as taking personal responsibility for our health and wellness. Western medicine is GREAT as curing diseases and fixing broken bones. However, it's not so great and promoting health, fitness, and wellness. Thanks for tuning in and if you haven't already, we monkii Elders would be eternally grateful if you could leave us a 5-star review.
