Back pain sucks 🀬 While it's different for everyone, these 3 tactics go a long way for most of my clients: Learn how to move your hips again - get them rotating without moving your back. Strengthen your hip flexors - often, tightness is relieved by loading the tissue. Learn how to breathe with your diaphragm - adding load in a tall kneeling position strengthens deep core muscles and encourages better breathing patterns. Try doing these daily for 1-2 mins each to feel better in just 1 week.

Are you a desk worker grappling with stiff, sore joints? Me too- Hi, I’m Nathan, a mobility specialist for the last decade.. Following my second ACL surgery in 2019 and the onset of a desk job, I found myself unable to move or exercise. The consequence? Stiff joints, weakened muscles, and a 20-pound weight gain in a year. The ensuing cycle of stiffness, bloating, and seeking highs through coffee and booze took a toll on my confidence and energy. This resonates with many of the men I work with todayβ€”they share a similar journey. Let's be realβ€”no one is meant to be tethered to a desk for endless hours. It gradually erodes your body, and by the time you address it, undoing the damage takes years. If you've reached the point where you simply want your body to feel better, aiming for a higher quality of life as you age, the time to start is now. For more info, COMMENT 'TRAIN ME' below, and I'm here to guide you on your journey.

When my guy Tom first shot me a message, he was... well, let's say not in his prime. Fast forward to today, and he’s a whole new story: βœ… He ditched booze for months without prompting βœ… No more pain while playing with his son – pain-free dad mode unlocked! βœ… For the first time in 5 years, he's under that 200-pound mark! βœ… Mental health? Rock solid. βœ… And get this, he's smashing those home workouts daily – 30 to 40 minutes, no excuses! Here's what we did: πŸ‘‰πŸ» Built a simple workout routine (under 45 mins) for his home gym ⏳ πŸ‘‰πŸ» Integrated 1 nutrition habit at a time, no extreme diets β›” πŸ‘‰πŸ» Met monthly to course correct β†ͺ️ Friends, I'm opening my doors for the new year (like everyone else you know lol) Difference is, I will give you more support and tailored coaching than anyone else online. If you’re willing to invest as much time a week as you would to watching your favourite Netflix series, or invest the same $100 you’d spend on drinks at the bar, I’ll help you get fit again in just 3 months. Send me a message, or hit that 'Apply Now' button, and let's write your transformation story. πŸš€πŸ’₯

Worried about overeating this Christmas? Try this: Stop buying chips. It's easy to be disciplined and stay on track when you have a good day. But, when you have a bad day, relying solely on willpower to not eat that entire bag of chips in your cupboard becomes MUCH harder. So, stop relying on willpower; fix your environment. Fill your cupboards with the foods you want to be eating, and put yourself in a position that enables you to stick to your goals EVERY day.

You don't need to wait till the New Year to start. Get clear on your goal, your 'why', and get busy becoming 1% better every day. And by January 1st, you could be 10% better than you are today.

Tomorrow marks my 8th corporate wellness presentation πŸŽ‰ The more I refine my message, a few themes have bubbled to the top: - Proper breathing is the unheralded saviour we need to pay attention to πŸ§˜πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ - Strength Training is the best bang-for-your-buck use of time for busy professionals πŸ‹ - Low Intensity Steady State Cardio (LISS, or Zone 2 training) is such low hanging fruit it's basically on the ground πŸƒπŸΎβ€β™€οΈ And more importantly, what I've noticed from doing these presentations is EVERYONE feels significantly better after just 10 mins of movement together (we do sample mobility exercises anyone can do at their desk). These messages may not be new, but they're certainly harder to integrate when you work a 9-5 that turns into a 8-8 because of how accessible we all are via our phones. Everyone is looking for ways to improve their physical AND mental health, and I believe movement is the cheapest, most accessible form of medicine available. I'm looking to spread the good word of movement as medicine to more people. People and Culture network of mine - are you looking to invest in your team next year?

Discovering the right kind of movement in your life is an essential step in your journey to a healthier and happier you. The key is to make it feel like play, not a chore. Many of my clients have experienced this transformation first-hand. In just two weeks of incorporating enjoyable movement into their routines, they report feeling better, more energetic, and happier. If you're ready to embark on a journey of transformational movement, I invite you to join me. Let's explore what movement can do for you and discover the true potential of feeling better in your own skin. Comment 'move' if you're interested, and let's get started on this together

Last month, I had the privilege of engaging in a candid and insightful conversation with my clients, particularly those who are navigating the intricate journey of maintaining a healthy diet while also navigating the intricate waters of their 30s. The discussion shed light on the common challenges faced by men in this age group, reinforcing the idea that no one is alone in their quest for a healthier lifestyle. What emerged from our conversation were a range of strategies and tips that have proven effective for each of my clients, contributing to their personal journeys towards better health. As a result, I'm excited to invite you to another 'Ask Me Anything' session, where I will dive into the topic of mobility and the art of staying pain-free, even in the midst of the demands of a desk job.

Sick of feeling like $#!T after long hours at your desk? Give this a try πŸ‘†

The truth about mobility: You NEED to load your joints at their end ranges. Most of us spend 95% of our days sitting in the same positions... But we don't prioritize mobility because it's not a problem yet. Real mobility training follows the same principles as strength training - because it IS strength training. Don't wait. Start small. Spend 1% more in unfamiliar positions - every day.
