We’ve adapted our lives to the modern world, but our body’s don’t know what that is.

Treat your body good, move well and move often!

Get outside and live life beyond the walls.

[Lawrence Herrera @lawrenceherrer]

There is not an easy way to reach your fitness goals, if there was we would all be there.

It takes consistent work, eating well, controlling your consumption of media, having a community around you, and getting good sleep. It is hard and not normal these days. Be different 💪🏽

[Lawrence Herrera @lawrenceherrer]

Daily consistent efforts. Is what it takes:
- To be healthy
- To be lean
- To gain muscle
- To feel strong
It’s not a pill, a shot, a supplement. It’s daily consistent EFFORT and NOT GIVING UP that will make the change you want to see.

Sports have made me who I am today and I will never look back and say I should of…

The only number you should be concerned about in fitness is getting your daily movement in, drinking plenty of water, and eating a well-balanced diet that works for you.

What is the fountain of youth?

- Hydrating well

[Lawrence Herrera @lawrenceherrer]

Use implements like sandbags, kettle bells, steel maces, steel clubs, cables, bands and other unorthodox forms of load. This is real life challenge, how many coolers of beer have you ever picked up that feels perfectly steady?

[Lawrence Herrera @lawrenceherrer]

Set goals not resolutions

It’s almost New Year’s are you going to make 2023 your best year yet?

Rather than saying do you want to lose 20 pounds, say I’m going to walk 10,000 steps a day.

[Lawrence Herrera @lawrenceherrer]

Focus on great form, not how much weight you can lift. When your form improves and things become easier, you can add more load, but not necessarily the traditional barbell or dumbbell.
