Manual labor is a workout. No excuses! | Kevin Brewer...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/06/30

Not all workouts need to be in a gym.The reality is that most people need to work out in a gym because it replaces the human experience.Your body is meant to work. It's meant to be used all day.I've used every single muscle in my body over the last two days and done every motion possible to manipulate items in spaces with narrow margins. Building things, yard work, pushing, pulling, throwing, raking, sweeping, tons of stairs with and without carrying heavy objects...I'm going to need a long run and

Want more energy? Do this... No excuses! | Kevin...

2025/06/29

I've had so much more energy after switching things up with my macros again.I tried a full-on carnivore diet (well, animal based, really since I was drinking milk), and my psoriasis was acting up a little, and my energy was a little low.After that sugar fasting fail, I realized I'm not as sure a full carnivore diet is optimal for me. It works for some and not others.I've found that doing a split of 40% protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fats really does work best for me. I have my clearest skin and the

Running is a gift. I heard this from another runner I was watching some clips on, and it really hit home for me. It really wasn't that long ago that I was almost gone. My system was shutting down, and I couldn't do anything.I wanted so badly to just be able to walk again, let alone run!Now I'm doing weekend Trifecta Spartan races and running farther and faster than I've done in decades!Get out and use the gifts you have. Build them up, and don't waste what you've been given. There's so many out

Train your thoughts! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2025/06/26

The quality of your thoughts matters. So why do you not put time into training your mind?Your mind can stop your progress in any venture you want to try. Yet so many put zero effort into learning how to use their minds properly.My mental skills are what helped me not only finish my interval run training today but also allowed me to go FASTER by the end! I thought I was done when I was halfway. But I talked myself into doing one more round before I decided to stop.When I really was down to my last

Mental highlight reel. No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/06/25

If you can find a way to get through something one time, you can do it again.Doing hard things gives you a mental highlight reel to pull from the next time you find yourself struggling.It gives you that push you need to know you do have the power, strength, or courage. That you are capable and worthy of finishing what you start.It's a powerful tool when you use it.DM me "HIGHLIGHT" to start building your highlight reel! No excuses!

Lots of mental practices! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer...

2025/06/24

Adding runs into your training is a great way to really work on your mind.I know that doesn't make sense on the surface, lol.Here's what I mean. Set a time or distance, and don't stop until you hit the goal. Maybe you need to go slower or walk at times. Just don't stop for the day until you hit the goal.You will battle your own mind so many times during that run! My thoughts and emotions are all over the place. One minute, I'm elated and going strong. The next, I'm dying and can't continue. Then I'm

Back to the basics! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

2025/06/23

Experiments are fun, but getting back to the basics when the experiment didn't work is so good 😂It wasn't all bad, though. I did find myself to be a little more crisp mentally, so I added some carbs back into my meals today, and I felt more balanced.I prepped some rice for the week to go with my meat and got some extra fruit as well.I'll try this out for the week and see how I feel. If it works out better, I'll continue to cycle rice and potatoes again.Test, learn, adapt, and retest. Life is an

Sugar fasting is not for me 😂! No excuses! | Kevin...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/06/22

It's a wrap! I can't do this again, lol.After the first day, I felt decent enough. But about halfway through today, my body was over it.I've felt nauseous all day, and food fills me up but doesn't satisfy me. I'm hungry way more than usual, yet I don't want to eat.Seems like this way of fasting was created by someone who wasn't able to do a water only fast and didn't want to be alone in eating sugary foods all day 😂.For real, though, I will just do a regular fast next time. I do a lot better with

The sugar fast is underway! LolI did have a lot of energy, but I also felt gross for most of the day. It should be good for a couple of days, but this is definitely not a long-term solution.I will say I wasn't hungry for most of the day. I felt a little bloated and full, so my lunch was very light. Dinner was too, lol.I will say this makes me realize I need to add more carbs back into my diet, though. It's hard to explain, but there were things that felt a little better while others felt worse.That

Sugar fasting prep... No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2025/06/20

It's time to try this sugar fasting craze.I got my sweets prepped today, and I'm ready to go.In reality, as long as I'm in a calorie deficit, I will burn fat. In theory, not having protein will force my body to burn fat stores to make up for the lack of protein.This is definitely not a great long-term solution, but I do think it'll show you that if you have options to play around with at times while still achieving your goals in health and weight loss.No excuses!

When I tell you I'm excited to hear your wins, this is what I mean.This was a big win for my client. In the past, this would have taken him months at best to get back on track.This time, he accepted the reality, acknowledged his role, and implemented an action to get back on track.No beating himself up. No grace was needed. Just accept, acknowledge, and act.It's not about being perfect. It's about recognizing when our actions don't align with our goals and then putting together a quick plan of

A weird fat loss tool? No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

As I come across new trends and methods, I like to get a few takes and perspectives on them before I try them out myself or tell other people to try them out.I've heard a few takes on this that makes sense to me now, and I'm curious to see how my body responds.I might try both an all fat few days and an all fruit or carb based couple of days.I'll keep you posted on how it goes!Let me know if you try either one out.

2025/06/17

In two months' time, I've made pretty significant progress in my run times.I know my numbers aren't elite level, but I'm also not just training my running skills. I'm still spending more time on my strength and body mastery skills.My run training is intentional, yet also a secondary skill I'm using to be more competitive in the Spartan races.This just goes to show you how quickly you can progress when you get your mind right and put intent behind your effort.No excuses!

This is just another reminder not to overthink it.Do you want to be stronger? Lift heavy things. Do you want to be more functionally strong? Lift awkward things.Dig a big hole and refill it. Chop wood. Move big rocks. Pick up your kids and play with them. Do push-ups with them on your back.You don't need a gym membership to get your workout unless your goal is to be a body builder.If you work a manual labor job, you don't need a workout unless you want to work in a different plane of movement.If

Do not fake it until you make it! No excuses! | Kevin...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/06/15

I used to say this, too, so my stance has changed over time.When you fake it, you ultimately know you are telling a lie.This means you know deep down you are not in integrity with yourself.Instead, start shifting your identity to be the thing you want.That identity should then guide your actions and behaviors. As you conduct yourself in that manor, evaluate your actions, learn, and implement any changes needed to improve.You will suck at first. That's the point. Very few people are good at anything

Life makes sense in reverse... No excuses! | Kevin...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/06/14

Life only makes sense in reverse.That's because we can never know an outcome before it happens. We can plan, prepare, and think things through, but the outcome is never in our control.Things don't always make sense. They are scary. You will be consumed by fear. But that's how you know it's important.I don't know what the future holds or how these changes will end up. But I do know God has a plan, and I have to see it through.One day, it'll make sense. One day, it'll be a great chapter in the story

Today was fun. I wanted to test my ability to run at the higher speeds I'm working on with sore legs.I wasn't sure how it would go. I knew my nervous system was in better shape today, so it was worth trying out.Of the 5.5 to 5.6 miles I ran in those 45 minutes, I was able to run 4.5 of them at 7.5mph (8 minute mile pace). This was 36 of the 45 minutes in total.Why risk it? This was a test to see how fast I might be able to run my Spartan races with sore legs on the multi race weekends.How else would

One small change to my workout tonight, and man, did it make a difference!Not only were the box squats harder because of the distance change. The mental piece was way harder than I expected.I had to talk myself out of quitting several times. I was cooked after 20, and from 30 on, I had to convince myself to do just one more set of 10 before I decided to quit again.Eventually, I made it to 100... but that wasn't without a lot of internal conflict.If I can learn these skills, you can learn them.

Sanding isn't the most enjoyable part of building things, but it's one of the most important parts to get a good finish.What does that have to do with life? Everything.Anything worth doing will have parts that seem boring or useless, yet they will be vital to your success.The question is, do you figure out how to love that part enough, or at least like it enough?This will either make or break your progress. The part most consider boring really does tend to be the part that moves you the most.No

So... which one is it for you?Do you make every excuse not to get something in?Or do you figure out the best version of progress, no matter how small that is?When you sit around waiting for the perfect moment, or skip the workout because you think it'll be too short, you waist a great opportunity for progress on multiple levels.Every time you find the excuse, you build distrust in yourself.Every time you find a way, you build confidence, trust, strength, resilience, and discipline.I'll take that
