In 2016, I herniated a disc in my lower back.

Doctors told me surgery was the only solution.

I said, ‘No thanks,’ and found a better way.

Here are the 7 exercises I used to fix my back and stay pain-free (no surgery required): Image
Back pain is often caused by poor mobility, weak core muscles, or imbalances in your movement patterns.

This 7-exercise routine addresses all three:

🔹 Mobility first
🔹 Core stability next
🔹 Strengthening to finish

Let’s break it down👇
1. Dynamic Couch Stretch

Improves hip mobility.

🟢 Place one foot on a couch or bench behind you, the other in front. Lean forward slightly, keeping your torso upright.

Do 1-2 sets of 10 reps per side.

I’ve spent 45,000+ hours training high performers.

Most of them struggle with mobility.

But it’s not rocket science. People just don’t where to start.

Here are 7 exercises to get a larger range of motion (even if you’re stuck at a desk): Image
If you sit all day…

Then you need to counteract that tightness:

1/ The Dynamic Couch Stretch does just that by targeting your hip flexors and quadriceps.

Get started with this:

1. Start in a lunge position with your back foot elevated on a chair or couch.

2. Slide your back foot up the wall, keeping your back knee on the ground.

3.Squeeze your glutes and push your hips forward.

4. Hold for 2-3 seconds, then release and repeat for 10-15 reps.

Don’t let your lower back too much.

And keep a neutral spine throughout the movement.
Learn the single best exercise for loosening tight inner thighs:

2/ The Adductor Rock

This can enhance your hip mobility and stability with just a few simple moves.

Let me explain…

1. Start in a modified quadruped position with one leg extended to the side.

2. Slowly rock your hips back, feeling a stretch in your inner thigh.

3. Hold for 1-3 seconds, then return to the starting position.

4. Repeat for 8-10 reps on each side.

Avoid this at all costs:

Causing pain in your joints.

25 health cheat codes everyone should know:

1. You’re not too old, and it’s not too late.

In my 30s, I rebuilt my health after injuries.

In my 40s, I started training for my black belt in BJJ.

The only deadline is the one you set for yourself. Image
2. Nobody is coming to save you. Your life and your health are 100% your responsibility.

This was the hardest lesson I ever learned.

If you want change, it’s on you to make it happen. Not your wife or your friends or even your kids.

Stop waiting for permission or "the perfect time".
3. Physical strength builds mental strength.

Every time I’ve been knocked down in life, exercise gave me the resilience to get back up.

Build your body; it will save your mind.

The workout most people mess up:

Abs.

I’ve had 6-pack at age 47.

Here are the only 5 ab exercises you need (bookmark this): Image
You think crunches are good? Think again!

1. Weighted ball crunches strengthen your core.

And core stability is crucial for overall fitness.

How to perform:

- Use a weighted medicine ball.
- Perform slow, controlled crunches.
- Aim for 10-12 reps per set.

Dive into these to enhance core power.
2. Hanging knee raises are perfect for your lower abs.

If ignored, you risk weak core muscles.

- Hang from a pull-up bar.
- Raise your knees to your chest.
- Keep the movement steady.

Remember:

Focus on form to maximize benefits.

You’ve been lied to about VO₂ max training.

Everyone swears by the Norwegian 4x4 protocol.

But most people quit because it’s miserable.

Science shows a better way...one that keeps you at peak VO₂ max longer with less suffering.

Here’s what you need to know: (bookmark this)
What is VO₂ Max?

VO₂ max is your body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently during exercise.

The higher it is, the longer you live.

Here’s how you stack up: Image
Why the Norwegian Protocol Falls Short:

The Norwegian 4x4 method is popular for increasing VO₂ max.
But most people quit after a few weeks because:

It’s too brutal
It’s not enjoyable
It doesn’t maximize time at peak VO₂ max

There’s a better way—and it’s backed by research.
