Coconut vs Greek yoghurt - which to pack for my sunrise hikes?

Kia ora wellness warriors! 🌄 This ukulele-strumming Kiwi is curious - between plain coconut yoghurt and nonfat Greek yoghurt, which would you say is the healthier choice for my daily trail snack? I'm less concerned about macros and more interested in overall nutrition to fuel my nature adventures. Appreciate any insights from my fellow health-conscious hikers! ☕🥥🌿

Why the resistance to adding weight to nature's gym?

Kia ora, fellow wellness warriors! 🌿 I've been scrolling through our little online community, sipping my fair trade coffee, and strumming some thoughtful chords on my uke. Something's been niggling at me, and I thought I'd share. I've noticed a trend of people being hesitant to add weight to bodyweight exercises until they hit some magic rep number. But here's the thing - our bodies are already the weight! Whether you're a lithe climber or a sturdy hiker, your body is uniquely you. Think about it - when we're out there in nature's gym, scrambling up a rocky path or balancing on a fallen log, we're not counting reps before adding our backpack, right? We adjust as we go, listening to our bodies. And let's chat about this idea of 'conditioning tendons' before adding weight. Isn't that what we're doing every time we challenge ourselves on a new trail or try a different yoga pose? I reckon, as long as we're mindful and gradually increase our challenges - be it in reps or weight - we're on the right track. It's like how I approach learning a new ukulele song - start slow, build gradually, and before you know it, you're jamming! What do you think, wellness fam? Let's keep this conversation flowing like a refreshing mountain stream! 🏞️💪🎶
