Hey folks! Here’s hoping you all are well and although I’m sure most of you forgot about this blog I wanted to check in and update those you still remember that Bare 5 exists. 😀

Things have been busy as can can be since the spring of 2020, with the ever changing landscape of the Covid and post Covid world. Life is good and the days and weeks have full of time with work, family, sports and training.

I’m still a health thinker although much of the interest, passion and intensity dedicated to it has waned quite a bit. I spent many years ruminating on all sorts of health topics and trying to process and digest what they mean for most of us and how rethinking some of the current narratives might benefit just about all of us to one degree or another. It left me with a nice foundation to work with but also propelled me more into fitness and other health topics. From there I’ve spent the last couple years almost exclusively focused on movement and workout related activities. Not that I stopped caring about nutrition and medical things, just that another realm had captured my attention, interest and passion.

I’ve noticed some similarities and parallels in fitness and exercise, not surprisingly, as that space (particularly on social media) is just as polarizing and frenetic as nutrition and basic health advice. I hope to get back to writing a bit more this year, not only on fitness and exercise but health in general. A decent amount has evolved the last few years and I’d like to delve into what’s been productive and what might need to be rethought a bit.

Spoiler alert: there’s quite a bit to talk about! 😀

Personally, life changed a bit a couple months ago when I tore my Achilles. I’m currently in the beginning stages of rehab and looking forward to continuing the recovery process and also sharing the journey as I learn, experience and challenge myself (and the system) along the way. I’ll document a lot over on Instagram – @kylek.fit

Hope you all are well and we shall see you a bit more in the Bare 5 world!
