This 3 minute neck drill will change your life: Image
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.
3 minute healthy neck mobility flow

1) Looking left & right
2) Looking up & down
3) Lateral neck stretch
4) Cell phone stretch
5) Janet jackson

While doing these keep your tongue at the roof of the mouth for proper posture.

If I want to lose 5 pounds of visceral fat, here is exactly what I do (step-by-step): Image
1. What Is Visceral Fat (And Why It Matters)

Visceral fat is internal fat that wraps around your organs.

It is known as the most dangerous type of fat on your body spiking your risk of:

- Stroke
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Alzheimers disease
- Certain types of cancer
2. How To Tell If You Have Too Much

The best methods are a DEXA or a CT scan.

But a simple test you can do today:

Men: Waistline over 40 inches = high risk
Women: Waistline over 35 inches = high risk

Even normal-weight people still fail at this test by being TOFI (Thin Outside, Fat Inside)

Hard pills you need to swallow if you want to get in shape:
If you're out of shape it means you've accepted being average.

The most contrarian thing you could do is get your body in shape.

Getting fit is the one thing that most people just can't seem to do in their life and accomplishing it makes you above average.
The more fatter you are, the worse your brain works

Having a big belly reduces blood flow to the areas of the brain responsible for decision making & emotional control.

This is not a statement but a scientific fact.

If you want your brain to work better get your body in shape

A Japanese doctor has just proven that living to 100+ isn't luck...it's a formula.

Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara lived to 105 while most doctors barely make it to 70.

Here are his 8 secrets to living a long life: Image
1. Never fully retire

His principle was to stay purposeful and always have a goal or a plan for tomorrow.

Purpose fuels energy, and staying engaged and busy keeps your mind and spirit young, no matter your age.
2. Stay in motion

His philosophy was not about intense workouts. It was about walking often, skipping elevators, and carrying your own things.

Gentle movement all day beats sedentary habits and a body that's always in motion keeps you healthy and energized.

If I woke up 30 pounds overweight and wanted to lose it all by the end of this year, this is EXACTLY what I'd do:

1. Eliminate alcohol. When you drink your body prioritizes burning it first. Trying to burn fat while drinking alcohol is playing the game on hard mode.
2. Multiply your bodyweight by 12. That will be your daily calorie intake.

3. Multiply your bodyweight by .8. That will be the daily grams of protein you need to eat to maintain/build muscle while burning fat.

4. To keep it easy focus on hitting your calories and protein.
5. Set the right meal schedule:

- Last meal 3 to 5 hours before bed
- First meal 1-2 hours upon waking
- Second meal between them

6. Eat a breakfast containing 40g of protein to regulate hunger and appetite at night while building muscle.
