Living Deliberately with House Trenkle

Fitness

Fitness and health has always been a passion of mine. I work at a medical office, I own a gym, and I am in training to become a health and athletic coach.

My philosophy on fitness and health is pretty simple: does it make your body useful for the uses you need in your life. It's not about a six pack or giant muscles unless you want those things.

I simply want my body to be useful and perform well for the things I love doing like sports, obstacle racing, farming, and self protection.

Also, it helps when your body simply feels GOOD. Most American’s don’t know it, but they feel terrible right now. If they ate well, trained well, and slept well they’d feel 50% better than they do right now because right now they think they feel normal.

Why me? I own a gym (Foundation Fitness and Therapy Center in Yucaipa, CA) and have helped hundreds of clients and met with hundreds of unique people with their own unique problems.

Finance 

Personal finance should be at the top of everyone’s mind. You don’t have to be greedy and strive for 100 million in order to care about your finances. Having a good hold on your fiance’s, practicing discipline, and having a 3, 5, 10 and 20+ year plan and retirement is simply practical. And in America, anyone can be a millionaire within a generation, most within 20 years.

This blog will be strategies and my thoughts on how to get as rich as you want without selling your soul to do so.

Food

Food is kinda important. I love to eat, love to cook, and love to garden and create food from nothing.

By food, I create delicious at home recipes of our favorite classics, with a fitness and health twist. I like to make high protein, well balanced meals with options for either losing weight, gaining weight, or maintaining what you have. My ideal body is that of an athlete and farmer. Not a bodybuilder nor a marathon runner. I eat and train accordingly.

So by farming, I really mean gardening as more than a hobby. I am working toward creating a ‘food forest’ that mimics how nature produces food with less upkeep. However I do also like to do traditional garden/farming and raised beds.

This blog will be me trying new techniques and learning as much as I can as it’s a hobby that not only gets me outside and working with my hands, but it’s very useful to feed your family good and nutritious food.
