Ego lifting is more prevalent than people think. We often attribute it to someone lifting weights who is just trying to show off, as opposed to the everyday exercise enthusiast. However, the latter is the culprit significantly more often.

There is a misconception that if you’re not always lifting the heaviest or moving the fastest you’ve done, then you’re not getting any benefit, and that’s crazy! It is IMPERATIVE that you always achieve the fullest range of motion (ROM) assigned to the movement while maintaining the most beneficial body position.

This shows up in squats, lunges, pushups, overhead presses, 1/2 kneeling positions, rows, etc. If you can think of an exercise right now, I guarantee you it is often executed as ego lifting.

You don’t NEED that! You just need your consistency, and you want to keep moving. You got this.

Measure health by what your body can do and what’s happening inside it, not simply by what it looks like.

Body weight and BMI can provide information, but they don’t tell the whole story. Someone in a smaller body can have poor metabolic health, while someone with a higher BMI can have excellent blood work, strong cardiovascular fitness, healthy habits, and plenty of strength.

Health is bigger than a number on the scale.

Look deeper: blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, body composition, sleep quality, daily movement, nutrition, and mental/social well-being.
Measure health by what your body can do and what’s happening inside it—not simply by what it looks like.

What should you pay attention to, you ask? 

1) Blood pressure
2) Blood glucose / HbA1c
3) Blood lipids // triglycerides, HDL, LDL/non-HDL; ApoB when appropriate
4) Cardiorespiratory fitness  // VO₂ max or another practical aerobic-fitness measure
5) Muscular strength
6) Resting heart rate / cardiovascular response
7) Sleep quality & quantity
8) Daily physical activity & sedentary time
9) Nutrition, stress, and overall well-being
10) Body composition & waist circumference // rather than weight alone

How do you make the most of your step ups? 🍑🍑🍑

Do: Step ups often. They’re an amazing exercise with a great ROI that plays directly into health and longevity. They can be done with an outside workload, fast, or plyometrically—so many choices! However, master the simple things, first.

- Make sure that the surface height is appropriate for your physical body and current strength level.
- Work on staying upright through and avoid leaning.
- Do all you can to emphasize the eccentric phase (coming down) to maximize benefits.

Don’t: rush through, and don’t just “deal with” a box or step height that isn’t appropriate for you or be married to a rep range. You could set out to complete a set of 10 but if you see any of these faults creeping in make sure you hold yourself accountable and stop while your form is still on point.

Asking your body to work unilaterally invokes an incredible training response. However, it requires an immense amount of control and kinesthetic awareness. Sometimes doing this ‘correctly’ may be slightly ahead of where you may be in your physical response…

Do: Allow yourself to ghost. You’re teaching your body to stay structurally sound on your non-loaded side. The limb’s movement creates an opportunity to further understand kinesthetically where that limb is in space and ensure the muscles responsible for alignment are stimulated. Slowly strip away repetitions using this non-loaded side to be able to nail these transitional competencies.

Don’t: Feel like this is cheating. By ghosting you’re allowing your brain and muscles to understand and learn these movement patterns correctly and this will ensure long term allignment, stability and gains.
