The Hierarchy of Human Needs
*Maslow’s Hierarchy of NeedsÂ
The fundamentals of any activity play a big role in your success.
Want to maximize your training regime?
Learn how to squat, lunge, deadlift, step, push, pull, stabilize and rotate at the gym efficiently and it opens up limitless possibilities.
Want to maximize your nutritional intake?
Learn to eat lots of whole foods like vegetables, lean meat, nuts, legumes, fruit and whole grains at appropriate times of day and it opens up limitless ways to enjoy your food and manipulate your well-being.
The other stuff is icing on the cake.
I wanted to write an article that focused on your foundational elements so that you can change your point of view.
If you are looking to live life to it’s fullest, if you develop an understanding of your needs, then you can take steps towards enhancing your life.
These fundamentals might be able to give you a firm understanding of just what it is in your life, so I’m dedicating a slew of posts just to discuss them.
