PUMP IRON, LIVE LONGER: Flex those muscles just twice a week and watch your death risk plummet by 31%! Plus, you'll be 19% less likely to succumb to cancer. Strength training isn't just for bodybuilders—it's for life builders! #throwback

I’ve been working really hard with improving sleep — not quantity but quality. Investing in a Whoop device was the best money I’ve spent on my health in the last 5 years… it’s been life changing. Bottom line you can’t change what you don’t measure. My HRV is at an all time high! My Resting heart rate at an all time low! And my REM and restorative sleep have never been better. Made a lot number of tweaks, tested it and optimized. And the results are showing up in how I experience life day to day… More energy, better resilience to stress and overall just feel more on top on things. I’m looking to help 2 to 3 individuals to implement the strategies I’ve been utilizing to achieve similar results. If you know someone that could benefit from my lifestyle coaching and mentorship, feel free to make the introduction. I’d love to have a convo to see if we’re a fit for each other. The changes aren’t easy at first, but one thing I can absolutely guarantee is it is worth the effort!!! #merge60 #2percentsolution

Today's tip: GRATITUDE = ATTITUDE Say “thank you” to your body! Practicing gratitude lowers stress hormone cortisol by 23% and boosts “good” cholesterol. It’s a free, easy way to support heart health and reduce inflammation. Grateful heart = healthy heart!

I love the coffee culture in #MonteCarlo! I could wander from café to café for days and never get tired of it. Maybe the caffeine has something to do with it, but hey, when in Monaco, right? 🇲🇨

Unfiltered beauty. Good morning!

Time on the mat is vital to long-term vitality and longevity. Working out is one thing, but an intentional effort to focus on fitness, mobility, and recovery is critically important for maintaining our quality of life. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is slow down so we can speed it up again once life returns to harmony. #merge60 #2percentsolution

The post workout selfie? Check ✅ Now to get on with the day… #merge60 #2percentcollective

One. Hundred. Percent. 🎤 drop. Thanks for the reminder @garyvee 🙏

Good morning from #MonteCarlo :) @montecarlobay

Paleo lifestyle isn’t hard with a plan… and with a plan, results happen much more quickly. And when we are getting results we become more confident in our choices and actions. What’s your lifestyle plan providing you as far as results? Need a little help with cultivating more clarity? Let me know. Happy to help. Remember doing things on our own is a choice. But so is extending a hand for help… don’t worry I’ll be here to extend one back. #merge60 #paleo #mentorship

I'm flashing back to ten years ago today… Yeah, I was a rockstar when it came to helping my kids with their homework. Do any other parents relate?

Day 1 of #MERGE60 on the books! That was a sweaty one… but I’ve never regretted a workout I’ve done, only the ones I didn’t do. Get after it today. Your body, mind and energetic spirit will thank you for it. 🙏❤️ #sweatyselfie

I see you. You're awesome. And what you do matters. Keep striving for impact and the rest will follow.

I love embracing a paleo lifestyle! It’s all about the vibrant, fresh ingredients and an explosion of natural flavors! I couldn't be more thrilled with my choices…. And my body and energy agree with me. This way of eating may not be for you, but being mindful of how food affects our daily output to the world is a helpful practice that can change everything. To be more mindful of your food, check-in 30, 60, and 90 minutes after eating and ask yourself how you feel. If you feel ready to conquer the world and your mountain of tasks (don't we all have those?), the mix is right… However, if you feel drained, heavy, or sleepy, you may need to tweak your nutrition. Here to help if you need it or have questions. You got this!

Tracking my biometrics with my @WHOOP band has revolutionized my health and clients. It’s like having a personal health coach available 24/7, delivering invaluable insights into sleep, recovery, and daily strain that empower us to fine-tune our routines. The data lets us pinpoint precisely what works and what doesn’t, allowing for decisive adjustments that yield better results with less effort. By understanding our bodies’ signals, we can optimize workouts, enhance recovery, and identify stress or sleep pattern trends, making our health goals achievable and genuinely sustainable. At 48 years old, it's all about training smarter, not harder.

Sometimes you just need to reflect on all you have to be grateful for… today was one of those days for me. What are you grateful for today? I’m very grateful for my beautiful ladies @thelifeenhancers @brielynmanuel @chardonaemanuel ❤️🙏

I love my #paleo lifestyle. It's been the best way to nourish myself long-term. What's your go-to way of eating? #merge60

#MERGE60 kicks off today… it’s set up for success week!

A nice day for a boat ride. Feeling grateful for the unexpected surprises of life. 🙏

It's one of my absolute favorite family pics. One of my 5 F’s - fitness, faith, finances, family, and FUN! Cause if you’re not smiling at least once a day, there’s lots of room for improvement. What are your 5 F’s or equivalent?

What do you track and measure? I’m thrilled to see 21 men begin their journey with MERGE60! This isn’t just a program; it’s a community where we support one another while striving for personal growth. As we all know, success begins with understanding where you are and mapping out your goals. For this journey, we require two essential tools: a @WHOOP band for real-time biometric tracking and a #DEXA scan to assess body composition. Measuring and tracking are crucial for optimizing your plan and achieving the best results. They help you stay accountable and make adjustments for maximum impact. Let’s get started! 📸 Photo credit: @therealironwill 💥

In case you missed it the first time... a quick reminder and invitation for a perspective shift... Forget balance, it’s all about harmony. Balance makes it seem like we’re juggling, constantly one misstep away from dropping everything. Instead, think about creating intentional harmony. Prioritize what matters most: family, fitness, faith, finances, and fun. It’s not about splitting time equally—it’s about being fully present in each moment so that the pieces of your life flow together. Let’s stop chasing ‘balance’ and start living according to what truly matters.

It’s been a lot of years since this pic was taken but it sure feels like yesterday. #familyforever

Loving the outdoor “adult” playgrounds around #HongKong parks.

I. Needed. This. 🌞 #hongkong #merge60 #2percentsolution

This is a flashback to 2018, when it all started. I had recently exited a 17-year career, unsure of what was next. What I did know was that I wanted to help make a big impact in people’s lives holistically…. Fast forward to 2024, and that's what i get to do every day. Most recently launching what I believe is the most epic men’s group on the planet. I am grateful for the opportunity to bring high-vibing men together to help each other. What’s it all about? There's a quick synopsis: The MERGE60 program is an empowering journey designed for men committed to becoming the best versions of themselves. Over 60 days, we will explore the power of personal growth, resilience, and connection, driven by the desire to show up as stronger leaders, partners, sons, brothers, fathers, grandfathers and friends. This program fosters individual transformation and a ripple effect that positively impacts families, communities, and even the world. Through daily accountability, fitness challenges, and reflective practices, MERGE60 equips men to lead with purpose and live with integrity, creating lasting change from the inside out.

It's amazing how healthy food leaves you feeling invigorated and satiated without the post-consumption energy dip. When you get the mix right, its life changing.

I am just feeling happy. And sending out a quick note to anyone that's not feeling a lot of happiness these days — i got you. DM me. ❤️

Trigger ⚠️ warning: some won’t like this. What would you do if you were suddenly called up to level up in all areas of life? Would you be ready to say “yes!”

Forget balance, it’s all about harmony. Balance makes it seem like we’re juggling, always one misstep away from dropping everything. Instead, think about creating intentional harmony. Prioritize what matters most: family, fitness, faith, finances, and fun. It’s not about splitting time equally—it’s about being fully present in each moment, so that the pieces of your life flow together. Let’s stop chasing ‘balance’ and start living in alignment with what truly matters.

Great workout and programming by coach @hughes013 at @crossfittyphoon #HomgKong

I live for breakfast. How about you? @fineprint.hk #hongkong

The Pallof Press—one of my go-to moves! If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out on three epic benefits: 1) it crushes core stability, 2) builds serious anti-rotation strength (goodbye back pain!), and 3) gives you rock-solid control over your body’s movements. If you’re looking for a game-changer, this is it. Give it a go and feel the difference for yourself! 💪 #CoreStrength #PallofPress #TryThis #merge60 #2percentsolution

This is one of my favourite core exercises. Next time you’re at the gym give it s rip!

Pushups. Everyone seems to have an opinion. This is how I do them and coach others to do them. But I’m open to feedback and heathy dialogue about technique, form and ultimately what produces best results long term. Love to hear your thoughts. 3, 2, 1, go! #crossfit #merge60 #2percentsolution #hongkong

Getting my Turkish Get ups on! Thanks for the pointers @cassielammie @crossfittyphoon #Crossfit #TGU #HongKong

A great session with coach @cassielammie at @crossfittyphoon #hongkong

This is me in 2011. I was 34. Interesting to think I thought I was healthy. I thought I was checking all the right boxes. I thought I knew best. Fast forward to now. I have a biological age of 24. I’m fitter, healthier, and a whole lot happier. I guess it’s nice to know we can teach old dogs new tricks. lol

A fun afternoon with @cintiasoulza and @crossfittyphoon — followed by a nourishing post workout meal at @noccoffeeco #hongkong #merge60 #2percentsolution

I know this one is a little revealing... but there’s a point to it. The other day, I shared my excitement to share some protocols I’ve been utilizing for the last number of years... The focus is simple — longevity with vitality! (cause one without the other is worthless) And, I think I’ve cracked the code as a 48-year-old man… I know it can be hard… but with the right plan, also amazingly simple. If you are a man (or know one) between 35 and 55, and you’re ready to make some big health shifts — drop me a message, and I’ll share the details about how everything can change in the next 60 days. 💪 Excited to inspire some good men to be better from the inside out! #merge60 #2percentsolution #WLFManifesto

A nice session at @crossfittyphoon with coach @cintiasoulza — needed to get some gymnastic work in. So bar muscle ups it is!

Happiness is best when it radiates from the inside out. I was reminded by my wife it wasn’t that long ago I wasn’t happy with me. I projected my unhappiness on anyone who got in my way. After all misery loves company. But what if it is those closest to you that gets the worse rather than your best? She reminded me that I wouldn’t take my shirt off at the beach. The unhappiness and lack of confidence as a man was real. But, change happens when we are ready. And the cool part, when you make the choice to prioritize yourself, your health — meaning your mental health, physical health, spiritual health and relational health — everything gets better pretty damn quick. And so I documented these changes and called them my MERGE60 protocols. What’s the goal? MERGE60 Goal → As you align with your purpose and passions and prioritize mental health, you create more ‘flow’ in life. As you adopt and practice the ‘MERGE60’ life rituals, including daily movement, mobility, and powerful nutrition guidance, you’ll find greater longevity with vitality and resilience to live a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life. I’ve got a few spots left for the next group of men that are ready to say enough is enough. Drop me a note if you’d like more info. I’d be honored to support you with unlocking your inner happiness so your family, friends and community can experience your best self. Let’s do this! #merge60 #2percentsolution #wlfmanifesto

It’s officially my first day in #HongKong… what better way to start my morning than a workout at @crossfitcavaliers — was spicy, grippy and a whole lot of fun. 🙏 thanks for the great session. #2percentsolution #crossfit #merge60

Hello #HongKong… It’s my first time here. Suggestions for things I must do and try? I’m stoked to try @crossfitcavaliers tomorrow… and just an FYI, reached out to about 6 gyms within walking distance of where I’m staying — they’re the only ones that replied. That’s customer service! Excited to call it my home “box” while I’m here. PS. I love to hike — where should I go?

Update — program is full!!!!! Applications for January 2025 being accepted now. DM me for info. I know I look a little 🤪, but I’m just stoked!!! I’m a month away from turning 48 and I’m feeling my best ever… it was a few years ago that I asked myself, “is it possible to be healthier, fitter and more resilient as I age? Could 50 be better than 30?” And the bottom line, yes, anything is possible with a consistent plan. But the plan had to adapt as I hit 40 and beyond. Over the coming weeks I plan to share some of the habits that have been influential in my health resiliency — in hopes that it provides some simple, actionable habits that anyone can also do. Healthy is not hard. Being sick is hard. So stay tuned. More to follow. PS. If you’re a man between 35 to 55, we should chat. I have a new program based on what I’ve navigated the last 7 years, and need some dudes to test it. Only DM if ready to make lasting health and mindset changes. Sorry but need guys that can commit to the 60 days … it just may be the best thing for you that you’ve done in a long time. And I’m stoked to help. 🙏

Always love rowing in my workouts. ❤️ Do you utilize rowing for your conditioning? Why or why not? Curious to know.

Yup. A little Vitamin-D is just what the doctor ordered.

I’ve just landed in Seoul… next stop Jeju island. I’ll be sharing via Instagram if you’re curious to follow along… gonna be an epic 3 months! Gonna miss you girls… ❤️❤️❤️

First leg of the journey done… just landed in Seoul. Next stop… Gimpo airport then #Jeju island. #daiontheroadagain

Sometimes, we just gotta play! @crossfitbc @drsinghod @gregrkent @kravkt @sophiestraith

I’ve known these guys for over twenty five years… and it doesn’t feel like a day has passed. We may not see each other as often as we’d like, each of us living a full life. But when we need each other, we’re there. Do you have friends like that in your life, too?

A while back, my shoulders were giving me grief—stiff, sore, and feeling like they’d been through the wringer. Enter the #windmill, a game-changer with kettlebells that not only rehabbed my shoulders but took my flexibility and core strength to the next level. 🙌 Here’s why windmills are a must: 🔥 Shoulder stability and mobility: It helps unlock that stiffness and improves shoulder strength in multiple directions. 💪 Core power: You’ll feel your obliques working overtime for stability! 🦵 Improved hip mobility: Great for opening up tight hips and hamstrings too. 🏋️ Perfect accessory for overall functional fitness. 🚨 How to do it right: 1. Start with a light kettlebell pressed overhead in one hand, feet slightly wider than hip-width, and the toes of your back leg slightly turned out. 2. Keeping the kettlebell stable overhead, hinge at your hips (not your waist!), letting your free hand trace the inside of your front leg. 3. Focus on the kettlebell as you lower your torso, reaching your free hand toward the floor while keeping your back straight. 4. Press through your hips and engage your core to return to standing, keeping the kettlebell overhead the whole time. 📝 Tip: Don’t rush—control is key! Start light and work your way up as your flexibility and strength improve. Give it a try and feel the difference in your shoulders, core, and beyond! #KettlebellWindmills #ShoulderRehab #FunctionalStrength #MobilityMatters #KettlebellWorkouts

I'm back! Just a quick update, but an entire podcast episode is coming next week where I'll share the full low-down... After spending a week in the forest's silence, living with Buddhist monks at Birken Monastery outside Kamloops, BC, I feel grounded, connected, and present. No phones, no emails, just nature, reflection, and... well, a lot of time to explore my inner world. You know what I realized? Silence isn't empty—it’s full of answers. 🌲 When we hit pause on the noise of the world, we can truly hear our own thoughts and connect with the deeper part of ourselves. It’s amazing what a little introspection can do to reset the mind, body, and spirit. I encourage you to carve out a little quiet time, even if it's just for a few minutes each day. The power of reflection is real—sometimes, the best conversations happen in silence. 🙏💫 #MindfulLiving #Introspection #SilenceIsGolden #Gratitude #BirkenMonastery #ReflectAndReset #StayPresent

Bye for now! I’m going to be off grid for a week as I head to #Birken for a one week silent retreat. See you on the flip side! :) 🙏

Hey, 2% Collective! Ready to take a trip down the green path? 🌿 ⁠ ⁠ In today’s episode of the 2% Solution, we're diving deep into the world of cannabis—whether you call it Mary Jane, kush, sticky icky, or good old jazz cabbage. ⁠ ⁠ We're talking about the herb from the earth with the greatest worth! 😏⁠ ⁠ But this isn’t just about giggles and munchies—oh no! ⁠ ⁠ We’re breaking down what THC really means for your health. ⁠ ⁠ Whether you're a seasoned toker or think a joint connects your bones, this episode is packed with insights that might change your perspective.⁠ ⁠ So buckle up because it will be an educational, entertaining, and eye-opening ride. 🌿🍕⁠ ⁠ 🎧 Tap the link in bio to listen now!⁠ ⁠

We're open nesters again!⁠ ⁠ BTW, Being an "Empty Nester" versus an "Open Nester" is like choosing between seeing the glass half empty or half full—but with your kids' bedrooms!⁠ ⁠ My youngest, @brielynmanuel, is off to @westernuniversity! ⁠ ⁠ Entering the 'open nesters' stage as a dad is like riding an emotional rollercoaster—one minute, you’re fist-pumping with pride, and the next, you’re feeling that little tug on your heartstrings. ⁠ ⁠ We've always wanted to see our girls step out into the world fully empowered, confident, and ready to crush it. ⁠ ⁠ But man, it’s a bit of a bittersweet pill to swallow. ⁠ ⁠ It’s like, “Wow, they really don’t need me to fix that bike chain or help with homework anymore, huh?” ⁠ ⁠ But that’s the beauty of it. ⁠ ⁠ We’ve done our job and equipped them with everything they need, and now it’s their time to shine. ⁠ ⁠ So, yeah, it’s a mix of emotions, but mostly, it’s pure pride in seeing them lean into their greatness. ⁠ ⁠ It’s a reminder that, as parents, we’ve nailed it—even if it means getting used to a quieter home.⁠

You know, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve ditched the lifting straps and belts. Sure, I might not lift as much as I used to, but I feel stronger—especially in my core. There’s something about going raw, gripping that bar with just your hands, and feeling every muscle work together. It’s powerful. That’s why I love deadlifts so much. They hit everything—no shortcuts, no crutches, just pure, functional strength. My numbers might not be as high, but the way I feel? Unbeatable. At the end of the day, lifting isn’t just about how much weight you can move. It’s about building real, resilient strength that lasts a lifetime. And for me, deadlifts are the perfect way to do that. #crossfit #2percentsolution

We are so much more than a number on a scale. ⁠ ⁠ While that number often dominates our thoughts about health and fitness, it merely scratches the surface of our actual health story.⁠ ⁠ My latest podcast episode on The 2% Solution explores the fascinating world of body composition tests. ⁠ ⁠ These advanced methods, like MRI and DEXA scans, offer a more comprehensive and accurate picture of your health than any scale ever could.⁠ ⁠ 🔬 Here's what you'll discover:⁠ ⁠ 1. The intricate details of your body's composition - bones, muscles, and even hidden fat deposits you never knew existed.⁠ ⁠ 2. Why relying solely on your fitness tracker or scale might be misleading (I learned this lesson the hard way!)⁠ ⁠ 3. The game-changing methods for tracking body fat that go beyond traditional measurements.⁠ ⁠ As someone who has been on this fitness journey for 30+ years, I can't stress enough how understanding your body composition can revolutionize your approach to health. It's like gaining X-ray vision into your own body!⁠ ⁠ Ready to transcend the limitations of the scale and unlock a deeper understanding of your health?

One of my favorite things about being a coach? ⁠ ⁠ I get to help people learn new things and, more importantly, shift their mindset of self-belief.⁠ ⁠ Sometimes, we believe we can't learn new things. ⁠ ⁠ Can't do hard things. ⁠ ⁠ Or, can't change.⁠ ⁠ With the right mentorship and a sprinkle of role modeling, perspective shifts occur. ⁠ ⁠ What was once deemed impossible suddenly becomes plausible, and with time, effort, and support, even achievable.⁠ ⁠ That's the moment when we shift to being a Champion of Change! ⁠ ⁠ REPOST c/of @crossfitbc ⁠ ⁠ Foundations graduate coming in 🔥HOT🔥⁠ ⁠ We can’t wait to see you in group classes, Gilles!

Moment of truth, are you chasing those flashy quick fixes, or do you have the guts to stick around for the long haul? 😉 We’re in a world where everyone’s obsessed with going HARD, FAST, and ALL-IN, but here’s the deal: consistency beats intensity every. single. time. 1️⃣ Lasting Results Over Burnout Sure, anyone can go beast mode for a week, but what good is it if you end up crashing and burning? Consistency is what builds those habits that actually stick, leading to real, lasting transformations. 2️⃣ Mastery Through Repetition Yeah, intensity might help you win the sprint, but consistency wins the marathon. Repetition is the mother of skill, my friends. If you want to truly master something, you’ve got to show up daily—not just when the mood strikes. 3️⃣ Sustainable Growth, Not Quick Fixes Intensity might give you that sweet dopamine hit, but consistency? That’s where the steady, sustainable growth happens. Aka compound gains, people! The takeaway of this rant? Stop sprinting through life like it’s a race. Slow down, stay consistent, and watch the magic unfold.

When I was 14, I found myself trapped in the cycle of obesity—a 14-year-old kid struggling with the physical, emotional, and social challenges that come with it. Carrying extra weight wasn't just about the physical discomfort or the looks from others; it was about the self-doubt that crept in, the confidence that always seemed just out of reach, and the frustration of feeling stuck in a body that didn’t reflect the person I wanted to be. One of the biggest culprits? Emotional eating. Food became my comfort, escape, and way of coping with the stress and emotions I didn’t yet know how to manage. But here’s the thing—those moments of comfort were fleeting, leaving me feeling worse in the long run. But I didn’t let that story end there. I chose to rewrite it. Through small, consistent changes and a lot of self-compassion, I transformed my health, mindset, and, ultimately, my life. And you can, too. If this resonates with you, or if you’re curious to hear more about how I broke free from the cycle of stress eating, check out the latest episode of the 2% Solution Podcast: "Stress Eating Debunked." We dive deep into emotional eating, how it starts, and most importantly, how to overcome it. Listen to this week's episode, "Stress Eating Debunked"- the link is in the bio. Remember, your past doesn’t define your future—it’s just the beginning of your comeback story!

🎙️ Ever feel like stress is taking over your life? Do you wake up tired, overwhelmed, and wondering why no amount of sleep or coffee can shake that constant fatigue? You might be dealing with a sneaky culprit called Cortisol! This so-called “stress hormone” is doing more damage than you think.

In this episode of The 2% Solution, we’re diving deep into the world of cortisol. We’re uncovering: - What is Cortisol?: The good, the bad, and the ugly. - Cortisol and Sleep: How disrupted sleep fuels this vicious cycle. - Health Impacts: The serious consequences of unregulated cortisol. - Regulation Strategies: Proven tips and tricks to keep your cortisol in check. - Supplements: The ones that actually work and how they can help you thrive. Plus, I’m sharing my personal battle with cortisol and how I turned things around. If you’ve ever felt like stress is running your life, this episode is a MUST LISTEN! 🎧 So, why continue suffering in silence? Take control of your health NOW!

Have you ever noticed how your morning sets the tone for the rest of your day? Starting with something positive, no matter how small, can create a ripple effect that benefits you and those around you. Taking a moment for yourself in the morning—whether it’s a few minutes of meditation, a walk, journaling, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee without distractions—sets the stage for a more focused, energized, and positive mindset. This simple act of self-care can transform your day, helping you tackle challenges with a clearer mind and a more resilient spirit. But it doesn’t stop there. Your positive energy is contagious. When you start your day on a high note, you naturally spread that positivity to others. Your interactions become more uplifting, your patience increases, and your ability to inspire those around you grows. Imagine the collective impact if we all began our days with a dose of positivity! So, tomorrow morning, choose to do something that makes you feel good. Remember, it’s not about the activity itself but the intention behind it. Prioritize your well-being, and watch how it creates a wave of positivity in your life and the lives of those you touch. Stay positive, stay inspired, and keep being the change you wish to see in the world! #MorningMotivation #PositiveVibes #SelfCare #BeTheChange #2PercentCollective

Let’s talk about something super important – the people we keep close. Ever heard Jim Rohn’s quote, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”? It’s a game-changer! Friendships aren’t just about having a good time (though that’s a big part of it!). They’re the backbone of our growth and success. The right friends? They lift us up, challenge us to be better, and cheer us on every step of the way. They’re the ones who push us to reach new heights and celebrate our wins like they’re their own. But here’s the kicker – the wrong influences can drag us down and sap our energy. So, it’s crucial to invest in meaningful friendships. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, support your dreams, and share your values. Your inner circle can be your secret weapon for becoming your best self. Choose wisely and cherish those relationships that make you better every day. Stay awesome and keep those positive vibes flowing! 💪🌟
