DAILY BREATHING ROUTINE
I have been following this routine for two months. In my experience it has lead to a noticeable improvement in my lung function. I also enjoy the light buzz and burst of energy in the minutes after the exercise (usually in the morning).

Guided Wim Hof Method Breathing
!! Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower, or piloting any vehicle. Always practice sitting or lying down in a safe environment. Tinnitus symptoms may appear as a result of pushing too forcefully during…
In relation to this post (https://news.1rj.ru/str/effortlessaction/72) the other day, here is a spinal mobility routine I do often when there is a feeling of tension through my spine and back, or I want to target that area specifically.
With some spinal conditions, I focus a lot on mobility/prehab/rehab methodologies, I've found that regular mobility routines like this helps recover form heavy training weeks and makes training more sustainable over the long term.
If you carry tension through your spine or shoulders try out something like this

Thanks for the 50 subscribers, hopefully this channel can provide some wise and useful knowledge to you going forward 🙏
Just finished this excellent mobility routine, highly recommended for those in the need of prehab or rehab. I find it helps to slightly increase the focus to mobility and deload the strength exertion every 4-6 weeks. Kinstretch is well suited to this purpose for me.

20 minutes of spine care
Apologies for the previous vid, was too short and too larger file size
If you're the kind of person who carries tension in the shoulders or neck, or you want to feel more free and fluid in your spine movements, this short 20 minutes section is great way to start the morning or wind down your day.
Its part of a longer sequence but this sequence is a short spinal routine that can be done anywhere without equipment, to supplement any activity.

This is an excellent episode of the Huberman podcast. Dopamine is fundamental to our motivation and drive. This ep dives deep into the neuroscience behind dopamine and how you can maximize it. I've summarized some key points below, but it's well worth a listen.
- No fap confirmed
- Yurba mate tea is good, it has neuro protective properties, also has caffeine which increases dopamine receptors density.
- If you focus on some aspect of an event you enjoy you can affect the dopamine release (immensely powerful)
- Dopamine should be intermittently released, not chronically released. Try to obtain dopamine through beneficial means. Exercise, healthy food, creative pursuits, etc
- Don't try to spike your dopamine levels constantly. Growth mindset is powerful. Learn to access the reward from effort and doing
- The effort is the reward. Don't spike dopamine prior to effort, don't spike dopamine after the effort. Tell yourself the effort is the reward so that the effort spikes the dopamine
- Cold water exposure is an extremely potent method for dopamine release, in some instances it can rival cocaine dopaminergic intensity and it's effects last longer

Controlling Your Dopamine For Motivation, Focus & Satisfaction
This episode serves as a sort of “Dopamine Masterclass”. I discuss the immensely powerful chemical that we all make in our brain and body: dopamine. I describe what it does and the neural circuits involved. I explain dopamine peaks and baselines, and the…
I've been experimenting with swimming recently. I can say undoubtedly that swimming is incredible
My practice was as follows, swim 4 laps freestyle (taking breaths every 5-9 strokes), swim 2 laps underwater (surfacing only when necessary). Repeating 3-5x, increasing as my stamina improved. Then finishing with a steam session for 5 mins and a cold shower, repeated 3x
Firstly my lung capacity massively improved in a short period
My mental clarity and calmness was intense after sessions, along with a general feeling of happiness
I felt stronger in my body, my posture improved, and my fitness improved too
Absolutely this is something I will continue and incorporate and built upon in my daily life soon (need to take a break for unrelated reasons).
I suggest if you have access to water use it. Water definitely has calming and restorative properties.
Our first moments of life as mammals is submerged in it, and indeed all life depends upon it. Get amoungst it, literally

Hello frens I hope you're all well.
Apologies for the lack of content recently. The past few months has been the most difficult time in my life, both mentally and physically (funny how when it rains it pours). However I'm now at the point where I feel the pendulum is swinging back and the next wave of energy is ready to break.
I just wanted to share some thoughts that have helped me and kept me going.
1. No matter what we're going through, it could be worse, there are some unfortunate souls who make the best with horrible hardships
2. You can always be grateful for something, having air in your lungs, grass under your feet, water on your body, or peace in your mind is a gift of life.
3. Strive earnestly and embrace the struggle, the struggle makes us better, there is hope for all of us.

Boxing footwork
I'm by no means an expert in boxing, but from my practice so far it's obvious footwork is incredibly important.
Generating power, opening shots, creating angles, and defence relies heavily on footwork.
I've been stuck in a hotel, so I've decided to really hone in on the basics, this pattern is perfect for exactly that.
I've attached a small demonstration of how to use this floor pattern to practice many different movements.
Also here is a link which I recommend you watch which explains this tool in depth.

Today I'm starting a new challenge of wearing toe spacers for at least 1hr a day.
Like so much of our lives, modernity has rekt our posture.
It will be interesting to see how my lower body feels after this, and wether there will be further changes up the kinetic chain (towards my hips).
Ill be using @findflow to track this challenge

I recently gave away all my books, but these two I couldn't bare to part with.
They're two of the oldest religious texts in existence, and just for the mysteriousness that surrounds them, they're worth holding onto.
The main reason I kept them however is because I believe they hold universal information that is applicable to all life, can be picked up at any time and read from any page. They provide clarity and direction for how we should behave in a given moment.
Timelessness is infinitely valuable.
It's worth keeping these books in mind, If you're ever looking for something to read.
