How the gym saved my life... / thread /

You can’t control the outcome. You can control your obedience.

I'm spoiled living in FL... a few days of rain has me so deprived on the sun Sunshine on your skin is one of the best feelings in the world Healing 😌

19lbs down already for our client Zac and with EASE We haven’t even started the cut yet 😎

@maxlugavere Big time. Restaurant food is engineered to taste amazing not to keep calories low.

Most people have no idea how much fat is in the average restaurant meal. Butter, oils, creams... it's why the average dish contains ~1200 calories, and many contain much more. And people still blame "carbs". Wild.

@tyromper yessss

Weighted vests are expensive & overrated. Take your kids to the fitness court & say hang on!! This was a few years ago when I was YOUNG (39). She was a 35lb weight then. Shes a 75lb weight now!

@ChamberofFit Training tells your body to change and nutrition gives it the ability to.

You can lift heavy & do boatloads of cardio but you won’t get the defined physique you desire until you fix your nutrition.

@tyromper I don't ever lift with people but all the most important people in my life I've met at the gym 🤷‍♀️

I used to crave that ME TIME at the gym. Lock in with headphones. Hated to be bothered by anyone. Annoyed if anyone wanted to chat. The older I've gotten the more I love lifting with others! •Social gains are huge. •Encouraging each other. •Learning from others perspective. It's crazy, but as a busy mid 40's dad I legit see my BEST FRIENDS a few times a year if I'm not intentional. Lifting together checks so many boxes for all of us. *Bonus, a homie snaps a fire picture of you after an arm pump :)

@SahilBloom Short-term comfort is often long-term suffering.

Underrated life advice: A good life is built by simply doing uncomfortable things sooner. The delayed conversation gets harder. The ignored problem gets bigger. The small repair gets more expensive. Peace is never found through avoidance. It’s found through direct early action.

@CoachDanGo You can't expect your brain to function optimally if the rest of your body isn't.

If people got their bodies metabolically healthy the vast majority of mental health diseases would magically disappear.

@4symbols78 get it🫡

@smithhmackenzie Working on it

Building muscle mass should be everyone's goal.

@dinesh__IRL haha

@smithhmackenzie Great, I will let my 85-year-old grandma know she needs to bench press. 👵

@abeyer62 for sure

@smithhmackenzie Good morning ✨️ 🌞 Just stay hydrated while doing it, easier for the body to operate and build 💪

@rdunsheath yes!

@smithhmackenzie For us old farts, it’s a fighting retreat, trying to lose as little muscle mass as possible.

@Longevity_EDU nailed it

@smithhmackenzie Muscle is basically your 401K plan for quality of life & longevity!! 🔥💪

@ChristianS50680 good ole taco seasoning!

@smithhmackenzie What did you cook that with? Looks delicious!

Can always count on me to have ground beef on deck Gotta be ready at all times 😆

@cgrant_cory yep

@smithhmackenzie Simple, not easy

I used to think my anxiety was something I just had to manage forever. Then I changed my: - habits - environment - nutrition - relationships - routine Turns out your daily inputs matter a lot more than people realize.

@Longevity_EDU YESS

@smithhmackenzie EVERYTHING is a trade-off! …and making the decisions that move you toward your goals STARTS with an awareness of those trade-offs. 🔍🚀

Every yes has a cost. Make sure it’s not costing you the life you’re trying to build.

@therightrisk 🙏
