My best superbowl advice:

Don’t eat like an asshole.

That doesn’t mean to not enjoy some delish food.

It just means, don’t eat yourself into a food coma and feel like dog shit.

**PS: it truly is the Super Bowl that nobody wanted to see. I said what I said.**

No matter what happens today, I promise you’re going be OK.

Don’t let either side convince you that you won’t be.

If you’re still not dead through the last eight years of two different president cycles, I promise you that you won’t die now :)

YOU run your life, not who runs the country. ❤️

Everyone is jealous of what you have.

But nobody is jealous of how you got it.

Remember that when times are tough.

Most people don’t achieve their goals because the inbetween is not always fun.

Keep grinding; it will pay off 🤝🏼

@Utah_Football @espn Ludwig has to go. The only years he has been good was Cam in his prime. If not, expect more of the same playcalling. Which means we will get lots of L’s.

The reality is, that so many of you still believe that taking time away from your kids to get a workout in is somehow selfish.

I would argue it's one of the more selfless things you can do.

Taking care of you so you can take care of them more effectively is not selfish.

4,255 days ago I hit rock bottom and got sober.

And it was absolutely the best thing that ever happened to me.

So if you feel like you’re at the bottom, it’s a gift.

I’ve found the most valuable lessons are gathered from the times that feel the most hopeless.

So much beauty is on the other side of this; keep going

I was recently asked what the best workout to do if you only have 10-15 minutes, 3x a week.

I told them to instead spend 10 to 15 minutes with a Google Calendar rearranging your life, because you have a time management problem, not a workout problem.

I don’t care who you are, you have more than 10 to 15 minutes three times a week to work out.

Please stop lying to yourself.

Cutting out or minimizing alcohol still remains one of the best health hacks you can do for yourself.

A close second would be to walk more.

Both simple, yet people really struggle to execute.

[Brad Jensen @thesoberbuilder]

Stop beating yourself up so bad when you have one damn day of eating like an asshole.

That mentality is what leads you to blow off your whole entire weekend.

Which often leads to blowing off a whole entire week and then a month.

It’s not the end of the world if you’re not in calorie deficit one day.

Just get back on the wagon.

**Bonus - Don’t be a dick.

If you want to win at life, start by following through with the commitments you’ve made to yourself.

The single most empowering feeling in the world is doing what you said you would do.

Doing the stuff that isn’t fun but is what will lead you to success.

Start by doing that just for today; one day at a time.

And do it again tomorrow.

[Brad Jensen @thesoberbuilder]

You’re not going to be perfect.

You’re going to fall off from time to time.

You’re going to let excuses run your day sometimes.

You’re going to feel like you suck at this occasionally.

You’re going to eat like an asshole.

And It’s all okay and totally normal.

Just don’t give up!

Consistency> Perfection

[Brad Jensen @thesoberbuilder]

Going on a 5-10 min walk after every meal is one of the biggest health hacks you can do.

And please don’t say you don’t have the time. ✋🏼

If you can’t make 15-20 extra minutes a day you have a time management issue, not a busyness issue.

Do you want to know how to automatically spot a bullshitter in the health and fitness space?

They speak in absolutes and use words like never, only and always.

Fitness and nutrition is incredibly nuanced.

If your favorite fitness influencer uses those words, beware🚨

[Brad Jensen @thesoberbuilder]

So let me get this straight:

The average life expectancy in the United States is 76 years old

Most people work until they’re at least 65 years old.

And most Americans are incredibly unhealthy.

That does not sound like a wonderful existence.

Take charge of your health and wealth NOW, my friends.

[Brad Jensen @thesoberbuilder]

Everyone wants amazing results form very mediocre efforts.

It doesn’t work that way.

So please stop complaining about the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t truly do.

Most things in life that are great take far more work than we want it to.

The sooner you accept that, the happier you’ll be :)

[Brad Jensen @thesoberbuilder]

Minimizing alcohol or cutting it out completely has got to be one of the best fat loss and health hacks out there.
