The Strength to Move On: One Step, One Rep, One Day at a Time

May 06, 20252 min read

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep balance, you must keep moving.” – Albert Einstein

Thought of the Day
In life—just like in a twenty-minute AMRAP—it’s important to keep moving and not get caught up in the past for too long. Thinking,
“These pull-ups, push-ups, or squats felt easier five minutes ago,” won’t help you now. Just like during a workout, in life, it’s easy to get stuck in how things used to be or to fall into a cycle of recreating what you don’t want. The key is to keep moving forward and doing the best you can today with the new information you’ve gathered.

As someone who has made many mistakes, I know how easy it is to get down on yourself or wish you could go back in time and do things differently. But all you truly have is today—and the many lessons you've learned to avoid repeating for tomorrow. The good, the bad, and the ugly are all teachers and opportunities to create more of what you want now and in the future. It may be a long journey, but you are wiser and more capable because of the setbacks, breakthroughs, and other adventures along the path. Just like in your current workout—it doesn't matter how things were going five minutes ago or last week. You have your equipment and the present moment.

A week away from Judo Nationals, as sore and beaten up as I feel, I’m so glad I decided to move forward with my judo again. Coming back and adding more combat sports training to my plate seemed sketchy and humbling at times. But the growth—and the ability to do more of what I enjoy—has been worth it. I may not control the outcome, but regardless of how things go at Nationals, I’ll keep pedaling my bike forward and continuing on the path to improvement.

For you, it may not be about returning to combat sports, running a marathon, or making a major life change. But always remember: today is what you have. Keep moving toward where you want to be. Even if the path is winding and scary, don’t stay stuck in the past too long—keep propelling yourself forward.

Real, measurable results with body composition analysis

Body composition testing in Vancouver

Weight and body mass index (BMI) are common measures that people use to track their path to better health. There's only one problem: they're wildly inadequate and often misleading.

At Empower, we use a bioelectric body composition analyzer to measure how much lean mass and body fat mass you have.

In just 15 seconds, these devices will generate a detailed report of your muscle, fat, and water values, including lean mass and fat values in different segments of your body. All you have to do is stand on the device and hold the electrodes.

Your coach will walk through the report with you and use it as a guide to develop and refine your nutrition and/or exercise program to put you closer to your health and fitness goals. You'll get your own copy that you can keep as a benchmark of your body composition at that moment in time.

We incorporate bioelectric body composition tests into all of our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs. They can also be purchased separately—no membership required.
