I don’t have a lot of followers. But this is the single most important thing I’ve ever posted.

This topic is truly the one of the closest to my heart.

This single thing has been the most impactful on my personal overall health.

All of these images are from my amazing summer here in Utah and I’m happy to share little snapshots of the things that have brought me joy and peace this year.

🏔️ Nature makes us feel small because its vastness makes our worries seem insignificant. We are but a spec of dust, floating in space. But, that’s where the peace comes from.

it reminds us how temporary our problems are compared to the world’s endless beauty. It humbles us and helps us relax, showing us we’re part of something much bigger.

🏔️ Being out in nature boosts our health by reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing mental clarity.

☀️ The fresh air, sunlight, and physical activity support our immune system, increase energy, and lower blood pressure.

🧠 Nature encourages mindfulness, helping us disconnect from daily distractions and reconnect with our well-being. Immersing yourself into nature is our reset button.

The big send over the weekend revealed a lot of failing gear.

Time to patch the waders and float tube!

@NoJoe64 Thanks!

The champion of the west.

The Colorado cutthroat trout. A historical relic of the past. Fighting till the end.

They evolved in isolation. Different mountain ranges and watersheds created unique populations. They were present when mammoths, giant ground sloths, and other Ice Age animals lived in the region.

Their range crashed dramatically. By the early 1900s, stocking of nonnative trout and human development reduced them to a small fraction of their historic range.

Many anglers catch them without realizing they’re fishing for a fish that has almost disappeared from the state entirely.

Surely one of my favorites. Worth protecting.

@CoachDanGo Why stop there? Go for a week and ignore your family 🤷‍♂️

[Tanner Mertlich @MuscleBusUtah]

Doin the thing.

Hunting the Colorado cutts!

Grass is green. Sky is blue.

A study has found that weightlifting for just two hours a week is linked to a lower risk of early death

The research also found the biggest benefits were among people who combined weight training with activities like running

More progress on the garage gym!

- got everything more or less into place
- hung the TV & Whiteboard

Next task, mount the mirrors above the dumbbells.

@micheal_ws18 As someone who personal trains 8-12 hours a day 7x/week it’s almost certainly tendinitis of the elbow or shoulder, which usually self corrects in 2-6 weeks with directed PT.

Proper weight training doesn’t comprise the lower back.

Bad exercise can however.

@BrandonFugal My wife and I are more invested than ever 🛸

Dig dig dig! We also miss Dragon!

I think you need to touch on personality types.

A tracker gives everyone the same data: steps, HR zones, sleep score, active minutes, calories, streaks.

Yet, two people see the exact same dashboard and feel totally different emotions, draw opposite conclusions, and take different actions.

Personality is the filter with trackers no one talks about.

I’ve been wearing my Oura for over 7 years and have never once felt like the scores, good or bad, impacted my daily routine or how I feel. I just like seeing the long term data as I age.

[Tanner Mertlich @MuscleBusUtah]

@CoachDanGo Should be a cool experiment!

[Tanner Mertlich @MuscleBusUtah]

Garage home gym update;

How it started vs how’s it going.

Next to come is mirrors, TV, kettlebell rack and sauna!

What I did for Memorial Day.

What I should’ve done for Memorial Day.

@CoachDanGo Everyone is eating more calories than they think.

Everyone is burning less calories than they think.

No one is defying the laws of thermodynamics, CICO.

[Tanner Mertlich @MuscleBusUtah]

@hwinkler4real Oh I’m sure this brown fought like hell too! Great catch!

[Tanner Mertlich @MuscleBusUtah]

@tvheidihatch Cool. Just got home. Good time to remind everyone to have the best filters you can buy on your house.

And what’s the consequences for the person who made the cross connection?

@sweatystartup @grok site the studies that show most popular creatine gummies don’t contain any creatine.
