Stop making this mistake with your lateral raises! ❌
If you're just swinging the weight up, you're letting your traps take over. This is not giving you the definition you want.
Here's the fix:
1️⃣ Lean Forward: Hinge just slightly at your hips.
2️⃣ Push OUT, Don't Lift UP: Imagine pushing the dumbbells toward the walls on either side of you.
3️⃣ Elbows > Wrists: Keep your elbows slightly higher than your wrists at the top of the movement.
4️⃣ Control the Negative: Don't just drop the weight. Control it all the way back down.
This small tweak puts 100% of the tension right onto your side delt, which is the key to building real width.

Mental health is everything. 🧠
I will keep banging the drum for this, exercise is so important.
I also believe positivity is stronger than you think.
This tough journey has been a positive one.
Broken leg can't stop the grind 😜
Espresso: ☕️ For energy + focus.
Molecular Hydrogen (H2): 💧 For body repair.
Why H2? Early research (1300 research papers) shows it may:
Lower inflammation
Fight cell damage
Protect tissue
Help bones heal
Training when you’re 40 is a different animal.
It's been difficult coming to terms with it and then breaking the leg 😥 Saying that, I’m 4 weeks into my recovery and more of my focus is on my hormones. 3 things I’ve tried this week...

How do you cope when your world shatters?
For Dan Hibbert, a father of five, the answer was fitness. After the loss of his wife, the gym became his anchor.
His journey is a powerful reminder that to care for others, you must first care for yourself.
Read this when you feel like giving up. 👇
At 42, Lisa was diagnosed with two malignant tumors.
A grueling period of surgery, depression, and 50lbs of weight gain followed. She hit rock bottom.
Her one thought? "My only option was to fight for my life."
So. She. Fought.
She started small, rebuilding her strength one workout at a time. Today, Lisa is in remission, works out SIX days a week, and is in the best shape of her entire life.
A powerful reminder that you are stronger than you think and that movement can be a fierce source of healing.
You know what to do to be healthy. I'm not going to be another silly goose patronising you on exercise or nutrition BUT maybe I can give you a little inspiration.
Why is it SO hard to actually do it? 🤔
You're not lazy. You're fighting your own brain's programming, an environment designed for sitting, and the stress of daily life. Humans are programmed this way.
I'm going to share a series of inspiring stories over the next month or so. These will be of people from all walks of life. Maybe there will be one that resonates with you.
Maybe you'll learn how to close the gap between your intentions and your actions.
