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.

An MIT-educated neurosurgeon created a viral video for quitting his 9-year medical career.

He didn't quit due to burnout or money. He quit because of the system.

Here's why he gave up his medical career: Image
Who is he?

Dr. Goobie (not his real name) did his undergrad at MIT, went to 4 years at an unknown medical school & 6 years of neurosurgery training.

Now, he does videos on YouTube under the name Goobie and Doobie.

After 10 years as a neurosurgeon, he left his career due to dissatisfaction & ethical concerns about the effectiveness of his surgeries.
His job was to do surgeries for patients dealing with back pain. In his words,

"It's like you have a house & the roof, the top of your house has a leak somewhere & rainwater is coming down into the house, ruining the drywall."

He said his surgeries were like tearing down and rebuilding the drywall, but he did not fix the leak.

17 things to STOP DOING after 30 to enjoy life more:
1. Stop compromising your health. You only get one body for the rest of your life. Take care of it now because it doesn't get easier later.

2. Stop worrying. Worrying doesn't take away tomorrow's trouble; it steals today's peace.
3. Stop hanging around shitty people. Hanging around people who always get you down is a good way to always feel like shit. Avoid.

4. Stop watching the news. If you don't watch the news, you are uninformed, but if you watch the news, you are misinformed.

21 unwritten rules everyone needs to follow at the gym:

1. Always put your weights back according to how much they weigh.
2. Don't be a filthy animal and wipe down your equipment when you're done with it.

3. If you film yourself at a public gym, you are in people's way. Don't be stupid and get offended when someone steps in your video.
4. Wear deodorant or at least smell like you've showered in the past day. No one likes the BO aftertaste when you walk past them.

5. Don't block someone's view of themselves in the mirror. When they are working out, go around them or wait until they're done.
