Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.Stop Wasting Time - Approaching Tech with IntentionHey monkiis, I had an idea come to me this morning while considering how much time I waste scrolling mindlessly on my phone seeking a hit of dopamine. The tendency is to categorize things as either good or bad while upon deeper consideration there are many facets of life that lie somewhere in the middle. The idea that 'tech is evil' is definitely an idea I've gravitated towards. But maybe I'm just thinking about it in the wrong way. There are certainly aspects of tech that are evil - literally and figuratively, but there is also unlimited...2021-04-0716 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.First Principles of Health and Wellness (Quicky Episode)Hey monkiis, Since becoming a Dad, owning a growing business, and not being 20 years old anymore, I've been taking a much more holistic look at my 'training'. I'm considering all the other inputs besides "what's my workout?" to make sure I'm doing the little things that will lead to long-term results. These are the principles that you need to get dialed to make sure you get the most from your focused training. The 4 first-principles I've distilled out include the following: Sleep Stress Management Nutrition Non-exercise activity If you can be killing it with these principles...2021-03-1718 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.3 Approaches to Microworkouts (Quicky Episode)Hey monkiis, The concept of Microworkouts has been on my mind a lot recently. They are such an effective tool to have in your belt and I think have both health and performance applications. I have distilled my thoughts down to three ways that you can utilize Microworkouts to fit your specific needs. Check them out: My favorite monkii Microworkout device at the moment is Isocore X. 1) Workouts that are less than the standard 1-hour gym workout. I wouldn't put a hard upper or lower limit, but I'd say somewhere around 20-minutes max...2021-03-1021 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.Microworkouts monkii-Style (Quicky Episode)Hey monkiis, This is a follow-up to Episode #89 as well as Episode #65 - Minimalist Approach to Health Gains. I realized last night that I spoke for 45-minutes without giving proper due to the gear that we all hold so dear - our monkii gear! I wanted to share how I've been using pocket monkii and monkii 360 specifically in the context of Microworkouts. I also touch on a more nuanced look at Microworkouts themselves. You can utilize this strategy for both training/performance as well as to simply increase your non-exercise activity. I think it is...2021-02-2413 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.Training Update - February 23rd, 2021Hey monkiis, I just finished up a 5-week training program I had written for myself and wanted to share some reflections. I also wanted to share some solid thoughts shared by the NorCal Wildman monkii Craig. He shared a personal anecdote of his experience getting JACKED using bodyweight training only and also had a really solid hierarchy that he developed around the 'why' for his training. monkii Craig's Training hierarchy: 1. Joy (peace, contentment, equanimity, life balance/satisfaction) 2. Healthspan (time on this planet free from disability) 3. Lifespan (total time alive) 4.

Presented by wild gym.Ash Dykes - Setting World Records, Training for Adventure, and Living Wild.Hey monkiis, I am psyched to welcome 3x world-first record holder and all-around Wildman Ash Dykes (@ash_dykes) to the show.

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.monkii Q&A: monkii Dan's Training HistoryHey monkiis, This episode was inspired by a question from monkii Ernesto in The monkii Wild Facebook Group. He asks, "I do have to ask monkii Dan did you really build your body primarily through bodyweight training? If not what fitness program did you use and what do you practice currently? I know you mentioned being a Wildman firefighter and wilderness ranger, is this where you developed your body? For myself, my goals are to be strong and functional first and foremost but a good-looking body is a plus!" Reflecting back on my...2021-02-051h 09

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.monkii Kim on Barefoot Training, Foraging, Edible Mushrooms and Living WildHey monkiis, This is a very special episode that has been a long time coming.

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.The Ultimate Biohack - Hard Work (Quicky Episode)Hey monkiis, I was listening to another podcast while walking to work the other day and when the host referred to someone as a 'biohacker' it conjured a really negative reaction from me. It was the first time I had this response to hearing that term and I wanted to explore why. I believe the root cause is that the term 'biohack', 'biohacker', 'biohacking' implies a shortcut to something that would otherwise require hard work. As I have grown older and maybe the slightest bit wiser the more I believe that there are no shortcuts - you...2021-02-0215 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.Friluftsliv - The Scandinavian Philosophy of Embracing the Outdoors in Any Weather (Quicky Episode)Hey monkiis, It's been a mild winter here in Colorado, but when a snow event came through this past Monday it felt like we were suddenly at war with the snow. I was walking to work through maybe 1-inch of new snow and was totally fascinated by the amount of energy being put forth to combat the frozen precipitation. A large, tractor-like contraption with a giant brush attached to its front was novel sight and I couldn't wonder about both the economic and environmental (there was salt everywhere) impact of a single-inch of snowfall. This...2021-01-2713 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.New Study says...Bull$#!& (Quicky Episode)Hey monkiis, I've been working on the Body Hardening Manual for the Stoic Kicstarter. It's been a really fun project and I'm stoked to get it out there. Through my research, I've noticed some disturbing trends in the manner in which scientific studies are being reported - whether it be bloggers, magazines, or 'the media'. I found a very drastic dichotomy between how a study talking about the effect of cold showers on health and work was being represented and cited as evidence for improved immune function when the study itself makes no such claim. Now, I...2021-01-2210 min

Presented by wild gym.How to Make a Customized Training Plan (and What My First 5-weeks of Training are Going to Look Like)Hey monkiis, I was writing out a training program for myself and made up a really useful template on the spot that I wanted to share with the monkii family. Basically, I started with three high-level categories: Goals, Principles, and 2021 Events and then reverse-engineered a path to how I would train in congruence with those three categories. My BIG 3 plans for 2021 are 1) a mountain trail run somewhere between 30 and 50 miles, 2) Climbing a Big Wall in Yosemite National Park, and 3) Backcountry Bow Hunting in September. What is so fun above setting these huge goals is that...2021-01-1532 min

Coach Ungar was my strength and conditioning Coach when I was at Georgetown from 2007-2009 and I'll never forget the first meeting him.

He could not wait to get in the weight room and get after it and I was super stoked to have this Wildman around for my senior season.

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.Reflecting on 2020 and Two Challenges for 2021Hey monkiis, I've never been a big New Year's resolution guy. However, I find that reflecting on the previous year is always a good exercise to revisit the joy from the highlights and on a darker note, to look into your own abyss and get an honest starting point from which to move forward. My reflections/highlights from 2020: The birth of my second daughter. Killing my first Elk with a bow. Climbing the Diamond twice (1,000 ft rock wall) on Longs Peak. 'Newborn starts' for mountain adventures. Microworkouts and 'All-Day' Workouts. Taking time off to...2020-12-3138 min

Determining if you are reaching your 'threshold of adaptation' isn't always super easy to figure out and I came up with three strategies that may help. 1. How sore are you after training? Ideally, you aren't sore, or, at most you just kind of 'feel it'. Not that being sore is universally bad, but your goal should not be to be sore every time you train. 2. Are...2020-11-1920 min

He asked, "What are your thoughts on a minimalist approach to health gains? What can be the least you can do and still get a positive change?". Great question! The number one thing to keep in mind is that to achieve results from your training all you need to do is cross your 'threshold of adaptation'. What is also very important to consider is that once you have crossed this threshold, doing extra volume will not produce extra gains. I suspect that...2020-11-1819 min

Live Wild or Die. Presented by wild gym.Training Update - November 13th, 2020Hey monkiis, I've been diligently keeping a training journal since October 19th, 2020. It's been useful for a few reasons. 1) I can easily look back at what I have been doing to help decide what to do today, 2) I can see biases towards and certain exercise or movement, 3) I think about training more so I train more. The third reason might actually be the most important. I've become mildly obsessed with tracking my training and because of that, I'm actually training more.
