Welcome to The Rémi Letter— your personal field notes on the path to extreme innovation in health, performance, business, and relationships.

 #010. Today we will be exploring the top mistakes I made in my 10+ years fitness journey, so you can increase your awareness and avoid them.
If I didn't do these mistakes, I would have been able to have the results I have today, in half the time.
We will also cover good things I did along the way, and that you should be doing as well.
Lastly, I will share top resources I wish I had available or was aware of, earlier in my fitness journey.

#009. Out of all episodes that this podcast will ever create, this is one of the least technical, but most important episodes to implement, if you intend to live a sustainable fitness lifestyle.
You can ask anyone living a sustainable fitness lifestyle long term about the top pivotal approach to fitness, and most, if not all, will point to what we'll be discussing today.
So it's very important you not only listen, but also start to live by today's presented approach, if you want to achieve a sustainable fit lifestyle long term.
Although the ALL or NOTHING approach could seem reasonable, and maybe even pretty badass at times, it rarely is the most optimal approach for an imperfect human living in an imperfect world.

#008. Today we will be exploring how we can lose fat (or cut) effectively. 
You will learn how to decide whether you should cut, bulk, or focus on building muscle and losing fat at the same time. 
You will lean how to setup your calories and macronutrients based on the desired rate of weightloss, that maximises muscle retention.
We will also cover the use of cardio as a tool for fat loss.

Diet breaks will be explained as they are an important part of longer dieting phases, such that you are able to stick to the diet in the long run.
The important factors to include in your training to provide an optimal stimulus for muscle growth and strength will be presented as well.
Now one thing is to set things up properly, another is to adjust the plan as we move forward, to make sure we continue to stick to the desired plan.

Learn how to track your progress, as well as how to make adjustments, when we are not progressing as desired.
Lastly we will go through tips and strategies you can use to hit your daily vitamins and minerals.

A free app and ebook will be given to help you eat a more balanced, varied and micronutrient-rich vegan diet.

#006. What if i told you that like Pinocchio, we at times have strings holding us back from being the real boy or girl we always wanted to be?

Especially under pressured situations, these strings can make us take the emotional route, instead of taking the value-driven path that actually leads us to the result we want.
Our today’s guest will give us the scissors needed to cut those strings, for us to become our best self, under even the most stressful of situations.

With her background in competitive free-diving and her Master thesis in sports psychology, she has developed a unique method of mental training that anybody can use to train their mental strength.
Performances like holding her breath for 6 min and being able to swim 150 meters with no fins, corresponding to 6 laps under 1 breath in your regular 25 m pool, places her among the best female free-divers in Denmark!
She coached yours truly for 3 months, earlier this year, to optimise training performance; resulting in multiple personal bests in training, including being able to hold the breath from about 2 min to over 4 min and from being able to swim 1 lap of 25 m with no fins underwater, up to almost 3 full laps.

#005. 160 km/h winds, temperatures well below freezing point, oxygen levels not supportive of human life and looming avalanches.. these all sound like good reasons to stay away from such a place.

Yet our today’s guest is someone who keeps going back for more, even though he gets caught in an avalanche, completely certain he is about to die..

His passion and obsession for the mountains, and his commitment to the vegan movement, have led him off the comforts of his 9-5 job as a software engineer, to summiting the highest place on Earth, Mount Everest.

#004. 99 % of applicants to our coaching program have the goal of body recomposition (lose fat & build muscle at the same time).

So here you have an episode to address this exact goal.
A comprehensive guide to building muscle and losing fat at the same time will be presented.

Learn why body recomposition is possible, and get presented to tracking tools to monitor your progress.

You will be given a detailed breakdown of how you should setup your training & nutrition to best support your individual body recomposition goal.

If you want a more simple  guide to body recomposition, without all the details, this will be presented as well.

It will be in alignment with the 80:20 principle.
