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.

Fat loss hacks I know at 44 that I wish I knew at 24:
1. The Weight Loss Water System

· Drink 500 ml after a meal
· Drink 500 ml before a meal
· Drink water instead of snacking
· Drink 500 ml of water upon waking

Water is one of the best tools for weight loss.

Also, most times you feel hunger it's dehydration in disguise.
2. Eating similar meals every day

It's estimated that we make 200 decisions with our food every single day.

Eating similar meals helps you control calories & get the right amounts of protein without thinking about it.

This is the Steve Jobs turtleneck of nutrition.

If I had to start from zero and get my body in shape again at 45, here’s what I’d do:
1. I would use my workouts to build muscle

I'd use my diet to burn fat.

I'd find some form of cardio I enjoy for my brain, heart, lungs, and energy levels.
2. I’d do a 3 day workout split. I would do a full body split with 5 exercises per workout.

3. I would focus on key movements like the squat, deadlifting, bench, pull up, row, overhead press, lunges, hip thrusts, carries

30 things no one tells you when you reach the age of 40:

1. No one prepares you for the fact you will go to more funerals & this will increase as you get older. The people you love will eventually pass, so we must cherish them now while we have them.
2. At 40 you will see a massive divide between people who took care of their bodies & those who didn’t.

3. When working out in your 20's & 30's it's results first & injury prevention second. After 40 it's the opposite.
4. Age makes it easier to become pessimistic & bitter. Being optimistic & happy is harder & it's something we need to train.

5. Self esteem comes from doing the thing you said you were going to do when you said you were going to do it.

It doesn't matter if you're 25 or 75, do these 12 exercises for the rest of your life:
1. Bulgarian split squats

This is the best bang for buck single leg movement.

It works your quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

Lifting on one leg also works your balance and proprioception.
2. Pull-ups/Chin-ups

This is the ultimate upper-body exercise

This compound movement strengthens your back, arms, core, and improves grip strength.

Pull-ups also enhance posture, functional fitness, and overall upper body development.

Your neck is one of the most important part of your body.

But sitting at a desk makes it stiff and can cause a chain reaction of pain throughout the rest of the body.

Then transition into a side bend then rotate again.

How to do a hard reset for your body in 2025:
1. Workout every day

Do at least one physical activity a day for 30 minutes, preferably in the morning.

Make it vigorous and intense & base it on the level you're at.

The more you can exhaust your body, the more you can control your energy, mood & emotions.
2. Eliminate snacking

Keep yourself to your main meals & get rid of any forms of eating in between.

This trains you to only eat when you need to.

A good way to test your hunger is the apple test:

If you're not hungry enough to eat an apple then you probably don't need to eat.
