League of Wildness, Motivation and Discipline are two very different concepts that I believe often times get confused and/or misused. Motivation is all in your mind and discipline is all in your actions. You are what you did so make sure you are taking action and not just getting excited/motivated to potentially do something. If you have questions, comments, or a potential guest suggestion please...

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" lif...

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...

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...

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.

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 (...

League of Wildness -  It does not have to be complicated to WORK. I do this type of workout ALL the time as a way to build a foundation of fitness.
