Stop chasing the calories. Start chasing the watts. ⚡

If you’re using a cardio machine, you’ve probably seen something like this:

🔥 291 calories burned
⚡ 177 watts
⏱️ 25 minutes

Most people look at the 291 and think:
"Awesome. I burned 291 calories."

But here's the problem…
That calorie number is an estimate.

Your actual energy expenditure depends on a whole bunch of factors, including your body size, efficiency, fitness level and individual physiology.

A machine can't perfectly know what's happening inside your body just by watching you pedal, run or climb.

And it certainly doesn't have a detailed picture of how much of your body is muscle, fat, water, etc.
So instead of obsessing over an imperfect calorie estimate…

Look at your watts.

Watts tell you how much work you're producing.
And that's something you can actually track and improve.

Maybe today you produce 177 watts for 25 minutes.

A few months from now?
200 watts.
Same amount of time.
More work.
Better performance.
That's progress.

Don't chase the number the machine guesses.
Chase the number you can improve. ⚡

How did I get strong?

By doing things that weren't always “normal” gym exercises.

Carrying.
Lifting.
Hanging.
Moving awkward loads.
Training my grip.
Challenging my body in different ways.

I don't train just to look strong.

I train to be capable.

Because real life doesn't always happen in a perfectly controlled position with a barbell in your hands.

Sometimes you have to lift something awkward.
Carry something heavy.
Get off the ground.
Hold on.
Move.

That's the kind of strength I want.

Strong enough for life.

Why do you exercise? For me it's not about looks — it's about building capacity: physical, mental, emotional.

In my latest blog I dig into how exercise helped through hard times and why I keep coming back after 20+ years of training clients. Read more: https://wix.to/apfLgWf

A couple weeks ago, Alwyn Cosgrove made a post on Facebook that stuck with me.For those that don't know, Alwyn battled cancer twice.One thing he talked about was how his background in exercise helped him through treatment and recovery. Not because exercise cured anything — but because he had built...

I watched them install this machine as I was training one of my clients.

I've seen this at other gyms and I couldn't wait to try it out.

But I realized something.

Everyone walks past this machine like it’s invisible.

Not because it doesn’t work…

Because it’s new.

And that’s the problem

Most people don’t avoid things because they’re bad…

They avoid them because they’re unfamiliar.

Same thing happens with:

Starting the gym 🏋‍♀️

Eating better🥝

Taking care of yourself🧖‍♂️

If you only stick to what you know, you stay exactly where you are.

But the second you try something new?

That’s where things start to change.

Better body.
Better energy.
Better life.

Next time you’re in the gym…

Don’t walk past the “new” thing.

👉 Go figure it out.
