This 5 minute lower back drill will change your life: 1. Bridge holds activate your glutes. 2. McGill crunch activates your core. 3. Cat cows keep your spine mobile. 4. Side plank holds activate your glutes & obliques. 5. Bird dogs activate your core & glutes while promoting cross body awareness. When you do each core exercise make sure to "brace" your abs by pushing them out as if Mike Tyson were to punch them. When you do an exercise involving your glute make sure to squeeze the glute as if you're trying to crush a quarter in between your butt cheeks. Do 6 reps of each exercise daily. Your lower back will thank you.

Lift weights, get 8-10k steps a day, sleep 7-8 hours a night, spend time in nature, drink water, stretch daily & eat single ingredient nutrient dense foods. Everything else is a distraction.

A fit physique is the ultimate status symbol. It shows that you can commit to one thing for years with slow results. People trust you more because they know you won't throw them away at the first hint of difficulty. Go to the gym.
