My new website is live! If you're in Los Angeles and looking for a fitness coach, check it out. If you live anywhere else in the world, my @miindbody program will get you in the best shape of your life through sustainable methods that you'll actually enjoy - even if you hate the gym. And if you're looking for a web designer - @brookslagle is your guy.

Show me someone who doesn't want to: • Be stronger • Move better • Feel healthier And I'll show you a liar.

A friend of mine used to say that the exercises we always want to skip in our workouts are our "vegetables." Over time, I became a vegetarian.

Discipline is all about showing up when you don't want to. But if you never want to show up, it's time to switch up your training.

I used to just want to be jacked. Now my training is multifaceted. • Yoga for mobility • Hiking for endurance • Weight lifting for strength • Trail running because I suck at it

@_AshleyRichmond Harsh truth!

@miindbody You’re either getting stronger or weaker. There is no neutral.

Strength compounds. So does laziness. Choose your investment.

@StoicGainz Take em straight to the bank

@miindbody I want the gainzzzz

@DallasLunz And you can’t spell daily without DL

@miindbody What you do daily strengthens.

Listen to your body: If you're living a sedentary lifestyle, you probably can't hear it begging you to get up and move. If you're training your ass off and your performance starts slipping, it's pleading for rest and recovery.

@fromfady Yessir running on that broken system is like trying to build a house on quicksand

You’re not lazy. You’re just running on a broken system: • Bad food • Poor sleep • Zero training Fix that, and suddenly, motivation isn’t a problem anymore.

@FabianBogun Excellent distinction. No naps past 1pm

Unpopular opinion: Rest is extremely productive. But only if you use it to recharge. Not to escape.

@PhilMaerz Brutal! I love that, Phil. Face the facts when you face the fridge

How to stop overeating the hard way. Attach a photo of yourself wearing no shirt to the fridge. Unless your desired physique stares back at you, you may have the Greek yoghurt instead of the ice cream. Better yet, go for a walk. Always feed your brain something better.

@StoicGainz Shots fired at these chicken leg mfers 💥💥

If you skip leg day, I already know everything I need to know about you.

@DallasLunz Let those thoughts flow like a river, and sit next to it in peace

5 Ways to Stop Overthinking (That actually work) 1. Count backwards 5,4,3,2,1 2. Talk to yourself in 3rd person 3. Feel without judgement or analyzing 4. Interrupt the pattern with movement 5. What advice would you give your friend in the same circumstance? Your thoughts won’t stop, but you can stop over analyzing them.

@StoicGainz Let’s get these gainzzzzzz

@miindbody Ez Breezy...don't have to complicate it

A well-rounded training plan keeps the gains coming and lowers injury risk. Make sure to train: • All 3 planes of motion • All 8 movement patterns • Both light and heavy loads Move better, get stronger, and stay healthy.

Fix your push-up form with the Hat Trick. No more half reps - just full range, controlled movement, and serious gains.

@DentesLeo It’s an epidemic of epic proportions

@miindbody I like how ego lifting is placed at #1 lol

The top 5 bad habits in fitness: 1. Ego lifting 2. Poor nutrition 3. Skipping warm-ups 4. Training inconsistently 5. Neglecting sleep and recovery Anything I missed?

If you're looking to add a fitness routine to your life, don't spend too much time thinking about: • What outfits you want to wear • Which influencers program to buy • When you're going to have a 6 pack Focus on how to consistently dedicate 2 hours a week to working out.

@DallasLunz I do like to do a few jumping jacks, cat cows, and worlds greatest stretches - then I get into my warm up sets, of which there are 2 or 3 if I’m going heavy.

@miindbody Do you have a warm up routine or do you use warm up sets before getting into your working sets?
