Do you have a closer relationship with your heart rate
monitor than your actual heart rate? When’s the last
time you went for a ride or a run without something stuck in your
ear? Are you using technology to make you a smarter, stronger
athlete, or as a substitute for your own thought and
instinct?
Phil
White is the co-author of Unplugged:
Evolve From Technology to Upgrade Your Fitness, Performance, and
Consciousness. He and Pete
Hitzeman chat about finding the why behind your use of
technology, and the problems that can arise from poor
interpretation of inaccurate data in a lack of context. We also
dive into the data privacy risks presented by our increasingly
connected devices, and the physical and psychological benefits of
exposing yourself to discomfort.
Phil also offers some actionable advice on how to
start combating your reliance on technology, and talks
about how writing the book with Brian MacKenzie and Dr. Andy Galpin
forced him to confront some of his own dependencies. Underneath it
all, Phil sees an emerging mindset of self-care that can help
people change their lives, one day and one rep at a time.
