Seeing how hard you’ve been working is incredibly motivating. It has genuinely inspired me to elevate my own discipline and commitment as well. When I first began this journey, I weighed 256 pounds. I’m currently at 215, and my goal is to reach 180. I’ve been taking my health very seriously, focusing on clean eating, consistent training, and following your videos while working out at home most days that I’m available. My motivation goes beyond the scale!!!! I want to feel strong, healthy, and fully present so I can play freely and comfortably with my kids. I also want to sincerely thank you Evan, for the push and the motivation throughout this process. Your work ethic and example have made a real impact on me. I’ll carry your words with me everywhere I go “shut up and go!” I’m really looking forward to seeing you fight in person one day!! I know you’re going to do amazing. Also adding a little progress picture and for what’s to come!!! 🤙🏼

I love this quote. Those who are willing to dive into the challenge and uncertainty that comes with trying to improve themselves (the void) do not need to explain themselves to people who sit on the sidelines and watch life pass them by. To those who don’t see the value in self improvement, it may seem foolish to spend so much time and effort sculpting yourself into the person you want to become. Don’t let this stop you from working on the greatest project you will ever have: yourself. Jump into the void and don’t worry about whether people understand. Once you bring your dreams into reality, everyone will know why you were working so hard. Until then, let them question.

Just click play and follow along. I guarantee that you will feel a world of difference and be glad you did. No equipment needed. Mobility is super important, not just for athletes, but for anyone and everyone trying to take care of their body, feel good, and move better. Below are some details on the exercises and whats actually going on, for anyone interested. This weeks focus is controlling your core while moving the rest of your limbs. Super helpful for strength in athletics. Exercises: Cook hip lift- This exercises teaches us to move through our hips, independently, while controlling our lumbar (lower back). This greatly improves kicking biomechanics and the ability to drive force in grappling escapes. (simultaneous hip flexion and extension.) Wall abs- One of the best core exercises ever. Trains your transverse abdominal, which is a huge core muscle that affects your breathing, rotation, and general ability to build strength. QP side kick- Most of us don’t actually move our legs from the hips. we swing our leg, but their lower back twists, torso leans, and knee takes over. this help us isolate the movement and do it correctly Reach Back- This exercise is in a lumbar locked position, allowing your upper body to learn to rotate correctly. This improves punching power and balance. While also reducing our likelihood of getting tapped to a shoulder lock. Seated roundhouse- We eliminate everything except how your core, hip, and legs are communicating while strengthening your obliques and abductors. This is a HARD exercise.
