Friends, this site is about self-improvement.
Listed below are the resources that have helped me on my journey.
I will never link anything here that I have not personally used and enjoyed. That is a promise.
Fitness:
- Every person who is serious about getting fit should have an Ab wheel. It’s cheap, and really a lot better than any Bull-Flex BS out there for getting a thick, strong mid section.
- Foam roller and lacrosse ball– For those who work out a lot and/or deal with muscle tightness issues, I have two recommendations. Number one is a good foam roller, which if used correctly can alleviate tightness in large muscle groups. For the hard to reach places I suggest a good lacrosse ball set.
- P90X – I have done P90X for 5+ years. The workouts are intuitive, diverse, and effective. Personal advice- convert the DVD’s to audio (after you’ve learned the movements) and add them to your MP3 player. Then you can do the workouts that do not require weights in a park, trail, or even your own backyard if you want.
- Body of a Spartan by Victor Pride – Written by a self made man who cuts through the BS and gives the straight truth about total body development. The book is mainly dedicated to the male audience, though I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve their physique and develop strength.
Books:
- Total Recall by Arnold Schwarzenegger. – A book written by a true man’s man, who also happens to be one of my greatest inspirations. Within this book Arnold shares important lessons on achieving success and dealing with challenges in life. I always value the words of someone who has walked their own walk and achieved their goals, and Arnold is absolutely that type of person.
- Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl– I referred to Mr. Frankl in The Trinity of Happiness. His views on happiness have helped immensely on my road to optimism. To say that I highly recommend this read is an understatement.
