Why I Switched Back to a Training Notebook
More is Less For years, I tracked workouts the same way most people do today. Apps. Phones. Digital logs. Spreadsheets. On paper, it sounds like an improvement. Your workout history is always available. Progress is easy to track. Everything is organized and searchable. But something unexpected happened when I switched back to a simple notebook […]

It’s usually blamed on age, responsibilities, or both. Easy to believe, right? Weren’t we all leaner and […]
Do I Even Need “Functional Fitness” Training?
No… just no. Stop Let’s define fitness first, then function, and talk about both. Fitness, as a general term, is actually pretty boring. Your yearly physical can tell you more than your trainer ever will: blood pressure, resting heart rate, exertional heart rate, body fat, stress levels, certain labs like cholesterol.
