It seems reasonable when you think about it.
Just try not to die for as long as you can.

“Woohoo, I made it to 100!”
There are whole industries built around this one topic.
“20 min of Exercise, 3 times a week helps to reduce the risk of heart disease.”
“Try this anti-aging routine!”
“Try these brain games, so you don’t lose your mental acuity.”

Even biohacking in the quest for “Longevity”, is really just prolonging death in disguise.
“Do this simple trick to add years to your life.”
“Sacrifice now, so you can have more days on this planet!”

So that you can do, what exactly?
Sit in the stress and anxiety of your job, or kids, or how it seems like the world is falling apart?
Wallow in the depression around how hard and unfair life is?

​If there’s anything I learned from Jeffrey (The Dude) Lebowski, it’s that “Nothing is fucked”.

When most folks fall off the wagon, they think "the god-damned plane has crashed into the mountain!"

When in reality, “Nothing is fucked dude”.

​The word "ADVENTURE" is defined as the following:
"An unusual and exciting, typically hazardous experience or activity."

Climbing Pico De Orizaba was exactly that. Rising 18’491 feet above sea level, it’s the highest peak in Mexico and the 3rd highest in North America. The trail starts at 14K’ and the journey begins at around midnight. 

For an asthmatic kid with three knee surgeries who’s experienced altitude sickness just about every time he’s been over 14,000 this was a bit of an ambitious goal. However, just because the adventure itself may be hazardous, doesn’t mean your training needs to be.

Why did we wait until now to bring up Calories?

Lot’s of reasons. But mainly, because of despite what you might have heard…all calories are not created equal.

“A calorie is a calorie”, a common refrain amongst fitness influencers and new to the industry personal trainers, just doesn’t hold up at a macro level (no pun intended).

“But what about that study where the college professor ate a diet consisting of 100% Twinkies for 30 days and lost weight???”

If protein is the building block of muscle,

What’s the deal with carbs?
“Are they good?”
“Are they bad?”

Think of carbohydrates as fuel for activity
When carbs are ingested, they are converted to sugar.
That sugar is called, Glucose.

“Fat is terrible for you.”
“Fat makes you Fat.”
“Fat causes heart disease.”

Ummm.....No.
This is FAKE NEWS.

There were some extremely flawed studies done 70 years ago that have been disproven countless times since….but we tend to latch onto the first thing we learned, and it’s hard to shake (that’s called “anchoring bias”).

“So, then what do I need to know about Fat?

By Dan Jimenez, Co-owner/Coach

There is one critical macronutrient (Macro) to focus on whether you want Fat Loss, OR Muscle Gain.
And…… it’s NOT Carbs!
It’s like the “magic pill”, or “Pareto’s Principle” where 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts.

Here it is...
