What to ask yourself when you want to make a change.
New on YouTube. What 6 things I tell my clients when they want to make a lifestyle change. It’s worth a watch. Does any of it apply to you?https://youtu.be/p2eWQuOpioQ?si=6G-d4R2QNm404WEP
Where’s your head at?
Stop for a second. Where's your head right now? Not metaphorically. Physically. Is it sitting directly over your shoulders, balanced, easy, relaxed? Or is it drifting forward, chin down, neck long, shoulders hunched slightly up and in, like you're trying to see something that keeps moving away from you? If it's the second one — you're not alone. You're just doing what 4-6 hours of screen time a day eventually does to everyone. There's a term for it now: text neck. And before you roll your eyes at another trendy fitness phrase. Listen to the actual numbers. Your head weighs around 5kg when it's balanced directly over your spine. Tilt it forward just 15 degrees — the angle most people hold when looking at a phone — and the effective load on your neck muscles and cervical spine jumps to around 27kg. At 60 degrees forward — the angle of reading something in your lap — you're asking your neck to deal with the equivalent of 27kg hanging off the front of your face. Every. Single. Day. Is it any wonder people wake up with tight shoulders? Headaches that start at the base of the skull? A stiffness in the upper back that no amount of rolling, stretching, or hot showers ever quite shifts? Telling someone with text neck to 'sit up straight' is like telling a drunk person to walk in a straight line. The instruction is correct. The body just can't do it yet. Because posture isn't a habit. Not really. It's a structural and neurological pattern. The muscles at the front of your chest and throat have shortened and tightened from years of that forward position. The muscles at the back of your neck and upper back have lengthened and weakened, trying to hold everything up. Your brain has mapped this slumped shape as 'neutral.' So when you try to sit up straight, it doesn't just feel uncomfortable — it actually feels wrong. Your nervous system flags it as an unusual position and slowly, quietly, pulls you back to the slump. You're not lazy. Your body is just doing exactly what it's been trained to do.

@Frank Stollman that’s awesome! I’m chuffed you’re liking it! And you’re right the consistency pays off!
It just takes one thing
My wife's car went into the garage today and guess what happened. The lady came out to my wife shaking her head and I quote, "this is going to be expensive. The back axle is so rusted it would take just one good pothole. " It's the same with your body. You don't notice things getting worse with time. Mostly because you don't do them everyday so you don't notice when they quietly slip away. One day your balance has disappeared increasing your chances of doing a proper mischief. Your strength has deteriorated since the last time you had to pick up that suitcase. All of a sudden you can't get down onto the floor and up again anymore. You could last year, but not this year! What happened to cause it? Well it wasn't just one thing. Much like my wife's car, the damage had been building for a long time. Your body gets good at doing the things you do regularly. Sitting, playing on you phone. And it quietly forgets the things you don't use. Why keep that ability if you don't use it. After all it costs calories to keep it! So over time your brain gets rid of abilities as it doesn't think you need them anymore. But what happens when you do? If you are suddenly put into a position you haven't been in in years, your brain is going to feel anything other than safe. It's going to hit the panic button. But there's good news too. Your brain can remember how to do all the things it used to let you do. That's what Brain Body Lab is built around. The foundational movements that keep us moving without pain and without worrying about the next long car journeys effect on your back. You'll notice a massive change in how you move and feel in 30 days or your money back. In the mean time try reintroducing squatting like this:
