This 3 minute neck drill will change your life:

The neck is one of the most important parts of your body.

It moves & protects your head while improving overall mobility but it gets stiff after sitting for long periods of time.

This mobility sequence is only 3 minutes.

Do this consistently & it can change your life:

Looking left & right

Push the shoulder blades back then rotate the neck from side to side.

Try to turn your neck until it feels uncomfortable in a stretching type of way.

Do not turn the head so far that the neck snaps or hurts.

Do this for 15 seconds.

Looking up and down

Place two hands on the chest to focus on your neck.

Then, lift your head up to isolate the muscles & ligaments in the neck.

Next, look down.

Do this for 15 seconds.

Lateral neck stretches

Keep your hands on the chest to isolate the neck, then tilt your head by reaching your ear up.

Return the neck to a neutral position & do the same thing on the other side.

Do this for 15 seconds.

Cell phone stretch

Start by sucking in the chin back to make a double chin.

Then move the neck forward again.

Keep doing this motion to increase the forward & backward mobility of the neck.

Do this for 15 seconds.

Janet Jacksons

Start by keeping the eyes looking straight then slide the neck from side to side while keeping your head level.

Use a mirror to see how far you can slide the neck from side to side with the head level.

Do this for 15 seconds.

Things I've learned becoming a dad at 40 years old:

1. Your health becomes the most important thing in your life. If you want a chance to see your kids grow up you need to take care of your body.

2. Lifting weights becomes a non-negotiable. This will be the difference between independence and the nursing home.

3. You can be 40 years old and feel like in your 20s if you do the right things for your body.

4. You never know how important good health is until you lose it.

5. Having children will light a fire under your ass and increase your capacity to earn.

6. Kids make you feel younger. The ability to see things through your child's eyes and how they embrace curiosity is a great way to ignite your desire to learn new things.

7 foods to avoid if you want to eliminate visceral fat permanently:

1) Alcohol
2) Fried Foods
3) Sugary foods
4) Refined carbohydrates
5) Processed meats
6) Fast foods
7) Sugary sodas

Here's why 👇🏼

1. Alcohol

Alcohol isn’t just empty calories, it's a metabolic roadblock.

When you drink, your body stops burning fat to clear the alcohol first. It also spikes cortisol, which contributes to belly fat storage.

Alcohol is the first to go if you want to eliminate visceral fat.

2. Fried Foods

When food is fried, oil gets absorbed into it, tripling the calories.

High-heat frying also creates trans fats and acrylamides both directly linked to inflammation and visceral fat gain.

Swap frying for baking, air-frying, or sautéing.

5 hidden signs you might live to 90 or older (87% of people will fail at number 3):

1. Walking speed

This is a sign of function and cardio.

A pace over 1 m/s (2.2 mph) predicts longer life. A stride of over 2.7 mph shows mortality risk drops dramatically. Fast walkers age slower.

2. Resting heart rate

A low RHR means your heart is efficient and your stress response is balanced.

Under 70 bpm is solid. Under 60 bpm is elite longevity territory.

If you’re above 80–90 bpm at rest, it's a sign that you need to build your aerobic engine.

3. Sit-and-rise test

Sitting on the floor and stand back up without using your hands is a display of strength, balance, mobility, coordination, and independence as you age.

By age 85, roughly 2/3's of all injury‑related deaths are due to falls.

Only 1 in 8 adults can do this.

Weight loss hacks I know at 46 that I wish I knew at 26:

1. Eat similar meals every single day. This makes eating simple, removes decision-making, and helps you hit your macros and calories consistently.

2. Avoid eating things out of a bag as this can cause overeating. Instead, put your portion on a plate and put the bag away.

3. Get an under-the-desk treadmill. Do walking zoom meetings, watch videos, or read. This will easily add at least 5,000 to 10,000 extra steps per day without even thinking about it.

4. Chew your food until it becomes liquid. This improves digestion and increases your feelings of fullness.

How to do a hard reset on your body in 90 days:

1. Eliminate the alcohol, fast foods, and hyper-processed junk from your diet. Before thinking of adding things, focus on elimination.

2. Set a daily non-negotiable of doing some type of physical exercise for 30 minutes daily. Do this for your brain, body, and stress levels.

3. Stay hydrated. Even a 1-2% drop can affect physical and cognitive performance. Aim for half your bodyweight in ounces of water daily.

4. Use the Hydro Lean Method:

1. Drink water upon waking
2. Drink water between meals
3. Drink water before and after a meal to increase satiety
4. Don't drink water during a meal, as it increases eating speed

This system will keep you hydrated, alert, and full.

7 signs you’re losing fat even if the number isn’t moving yet:

1. You feel colder than usual

Less body fat means less insulation & you'll feel it in your fingers and toes.

If you're feeling colder than normal, congrats. Your body is carrying less fat to keep you warm.

2. Your clothes fit differently

The scale might not budge yet, but your pants tell the truth.

If you’re tightening your belt or noticing extra room in your jeans, your body composition is shifting.

Fat down. Muscle preserved. Progress happening.

3. You wake up sharper

Clearer thinking. Better mornings. More stable blood sugar.

When metabolic health improves, your brain feels it first.

Less inflammation, better sleep, better recovery are all early signs of fat loss.
