Went from overweight and depressed to fit and fulfilled| Helped hundreds lose 10-100lbs | Tweets on how I do it.

At 16 I was depressed, on medication, no ambition, overeating and withdrew from friends and family.

Now at 36, I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been, help others look and feel their best, and have traveled the world

The key to changing my life was changing my body

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

@ronaldtenholte @hubermanlab @KettlebellDan Agreed, especially that last part. Hate to say it but people are playing life on easy mode without kids

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

@KettlebellDan I genuinely enjoy sitting with my friends having a beer or cocktail at a great tasting room or brewery, tasting the flavors, trying new beers/spirits out. It bonds us in a unique way. Do we need it? Of course not, but we like it. And thats the benefit.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

Tired or seeing the word "cheat code" in front of everything 🤦‍♂️

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

Been seeing a lot of hate on AG1 again recently...would love some info, data, from anyone that's willing to share why its good, why its a waste, etc.

I realize I can look it up, but want to hear from real people

Thanks🤝

@paulsaladinomd We get what you're saying Paul but pretending that calories arent the most important thing for fat loss doesn't make any sense.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

@RobertGreene Just curious, but what are we defining enemies as in this context?

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

@Theholisticpsyc Thanks got acknowledging that. My response was inspired by the fact that many people will take what you said and reshare with their intent being to bully and belittle men as scared, hurt little boys. This of course is not productive.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

@SahilBloom The most impressive thing about this is that it was done on a treadmill. 😬

Crazy!

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

The best fitness program is the one you actually enjoy, and appreciate, even if its difficult.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

@RyanHoliday Great reminder and hits home.

I have a 15k tomorrow and have a goal time in mind. Hitting the goal and title of "i did it!" Weighs on me.

But I know my effort the last 4 months of training and my effort tomorrow, regardless of the result, are what have fueled my soul

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

Fat loss is 80% diet but that depends 100% on managing your emotions.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

Most men won't tell you this, but here is why they feel stuck:

They don’t move enough
They don’t speak their truth
They don’t say “no” often enough
They don’t know what they stand for
They don’t create, they consume

You don't need motivation, you need to remember who you are

Yesterday I wrote The Modern Man's Survival Guide. In it I discuss the 12 essentials to resist distraction in the age of digitalization.

Here’s how modern life makes you weaker without you noticing:

Convenience replaces capability
Scrolling replaces creation
Dopamine replaces discipline
Hustle replaces heart
Softness replaces standards

You’re not "fine."
You're fading.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

I wrote all about this on Substack. Check it out below.

Let’s cut through the BS

“I just want to be healthy” is a lie you tell yourself to avoid going deeper.

If your why doesn’t punch you in the gut, it won’t pull you out of bed at 5 a.m.

Powerful results don’t come from vague goals, they come from visceral reasons.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

You're not unmotivated you are just attached to you comfort zone and are calling it "balance."

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

Your kids are learning how to live by watching you hesitate, avoid, and justify your decline.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

Making your own life a nice alternative to the less-than-ideal "outside world" will open you up to criticism, judgment, and discomfort that most aren't willing to go through.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

From my experience and observation, most people intent on "changing the world" are generally unhappy with their own lives.

Ignoring what's right in front of you in favor of what's out there supplies a superiority complex for many.

[Alex Cook @alexscottcook]

This is heightened with labels like "world changer" or "disruptor"

The only way large structures change is when being a part of them is too uncomfortable.

Focusing on your own life removes the insecure need to change everything else.
