Each week I'll get into the gym and get creative with some workout ideas. I will post these workouts on Instagram in video format, but break them down a little more in depth via these podcast episodes.

Key Takeaways:
- Training solely for strength and performance is often overvalued in western culture.
- Goals such as movement fluidity, rhythm, keeping a beat, and performing an exercise with the least amount of energy possible are very beneficial and should be practiced often.
- Why many programs are missing a skill component, and how learning new skills can help your brain age better.
- How different cultures all over the world view movement and training is drastically different than how we view it in Canada and America. What are we missing on this side of the pond?
- Your mind is a reflection of how you move and train. What can you do with your training to manage stress better, improve your mood and increase stimulant free energy levels?

In this second episode of my Podcast, I discuss the most recent book I have read (I finished it this morning). This book is called Deep Work - Rules For Focussed Success In a Distracted World by Cal Newport.
The book is broken down into two parts.
Part 1: The Idea
- How Deep Work Is Incredibly Valuable
- How Deep Work Will Set You Apart From Everyone Else
- How Deep Work Is The Most Meaningful Thing You Will Ever Do
Part 2: The Rules
1. Work Deeply
2. Embrace Boredom
3. Quit Social Media
4. Drain The Shallows
I discuss what each of these mean and most importantly, how you can apply them into your own life. I talk about my brand new commitment to a "Social Media Sabbath", conveniently abbreviated as SMS along with a technique I used that instantaneously ridded me of depressive thoughts.
All this and more can be found simply by pressing play!
Enjoy the Show.

My Substack Article On This Topic
In our VERY FIRST EPISODE, Randy and Ty chat about Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and why it's one of the best metrics you can track for an overall perspective of your health. We show you how you can use expensive technology to do this as well as a technique that is COMPLETELY FREE! Ty reads one of his latest Substack Articles "Trust Your Truth: The Story of Inner Turmoil And The Relentless Pursuit of Self Love" We also discuss what periodization is and why you NEED to apply this to your training, otherwise you will be the person who trains regularly but hasn't seen results in years.
