Your neck can hurt for about 7,000 reasons.

From the way you breathe to the way you sleep, to the way you sit at your desk (or kitchen table) all day.

Discomfort in your neck can ruin your whole day. It makes you feel sluggish, tired and annoyed.

Here are 3 ways you can pretty quickly beat neck discomfort.

All you’ll need is a foam roller, a lacrosse ball and a barbell.

Lack of mobility can be caused by all sorts of things, like tightness, weakness, or years of bad posture.

When that happens your CNS sends signals to your body saying “hey don’t move like that it’s going to hurt.”

So when you want to realign or reset a joint or a series of joints to have better mobility you can’t just address the physical component.

So in the spirit of "stop wasting your time doing stupid stuff" I made this video to explain the most effective and efficient way to build your triceps.

Barefoot training isn’t this amazing godsend, but it’s an easy way to rebuild your connection to the ground, increase sensation AND strengthen your foot to beat things like plantar fasciitis.

“Body hacks” are stupid.

They imply that there are shortcuts. And there aren’t.

However this piece of advice could be considered a “hack” by less discerning writers.

It's 99% likely that your health is 100% in your control. But you have to take responsibility for that control, and be ready to put in the boring work to make it happen.

You're most likely overeating because the foods you choose to eat are designed to be overeaten.

Trying to get in shape is a long process.  

It's a frustrating process.  

As a society we have no concept of delayed gratification.  If we want some thing, we want it NOW.  We expect things to appear at the snap of a finger, or the tap of an iPhone screen.

Your body doesn't work that way.  

Your body won't change after a week of good eating, or a month of consistent workouts.  It takes time to adapt, and then even more time to optimize.  The only thing that really matters when you're trying to change your body is consistency and hard work.  

Look, I get it.  We've all been frustrated by a lack of progress in our body when we "feel" like we're doing everything right.

Well....

Your feelings don't matter at all.  If you don't have the facts to back up the way you feel you're setting yourself up for failure.  

When you boil it down losing weight does not mean you have to revamp and change your entire diet and lifestyle.

Everyone wants to make a radical lifestyle overhaul, but they don't want to experience the pain and discomfort that rapid change brings.

You simply have to build boundaries around your already existing behaviors.

The boundaries will act like a fence that will guide you towards your goal.

Don't freak out, just take measured consistent action.
