My 8 years of fitness knowledge and 5,000+ tweets combined into one thread:

1. Stop drinking alcohol. It f*cks your sleep, recovery, cognition, energy, mood, libido, cravings, and more. STOP. Image 2. Remember this: Diet for fat-loss, lift for muscle, cardio for heart health.
3. Higher cortisol levels (stress) cause your body to retain more water. Retaining more water = more of that "bloated" look.
4. Room-temp water is better for workouts than cold water

24 years on this planet. 8 years in the gym.

Here’s every fitness secret I’ve learned:

1. Eat fish a few times per week.

You’ll lose more fat, even if you eat the same number of calories. This is backed by research and personal experience.

2. Lift weights for your physique; do cardio for your brain.

3. When you're unsure about something, lean into brutal physical activity.

The acute stress dials down distractions so that making a decision, based on what truly matters, becomes a lot easier.

Visceral fat is America's most deadly threat, and most people don’t even know what it is…

But it’s causing heart disease, diabetes, and numerous cancers behind the scenes.

A thread on losing your visceral fat (this might just save your life): Image What is "Visceral Fat"?

Visceral fat is the deep belly fat that surrounds your organs.

Unlike surface-level belly fat, it releases toxic chemicals and massive amounts of inflammation.

It's the hard "beer belly" that pushes out your belly. Image
