In this episode, I'm cutting through the noise and reminding you of a simple truth: you don’t need the perfect plan, you just need to move.If you’ve ever delayed a workout because you didn’t have the right playlist, the perfect program, or a full 60 minutes to train, this one’s for you. I break down why overcomplicating your fitness is doing more harm than good, and how keeping it simple, bodyweight, a resistance band, or just walking, can change everything.Whether you’re a high-performer or just getting started, this episode is a much-needed reset. It’s your reminder that progress doesn’t come from perfect, it comes from showing up, moving with intention, and doing the work even when conditions aren’t ideal.If this episode helped shift your mindset, please take a second to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs that same nudge.And follow @sirwodsalot on Instagram for more no-BS fitness, mindset, and performance tips to help you move better and live stronger.

What if the first signs of a child’s health issues weren’t in the blood—but in their breathing, jaw, or even sleep? I didn’t realise just how much oral health and orthodontics had clashed with my own MEN1 journey until I met Dr Steffan Decker. In this episode, he explains why mouth breathing, tongue position, and under-treated dental issues may be doing more than just affecting our smile—and why UK families might be missing crucial opportunities to intervene early. • Why mouth breathing matters far more than we’ve been told • How misdiagnosed orthodontic problems may mask deeper health issues • What MEN1 parents should know about sleep, growth, and jaw development • Why functional screening is worth doing—even if treatment comes later • How other cultures (and healthcare systems) approach this very differentlyDr Steffan Decker is a specialist orthodontist and airway-focused practitioner with clinics in London and Amersham. He combines orthodontics with cranial osteopathy, breathing therapy, and myofunctional approaches—treating patients not just for aesthetics, but for long-term stability and health.Visit Dr Decker’s website hereDid you know I'm reversing my MEN1 symptoms?

In this episode we explore the often-misunderstood AbMat. While many believe it's simply for cushioning the lower back during sit-ups, we reveal its primary purpose: enabling the abdominal muscles to work dynamically through a greater range of motion. By filling the gap in the lower back, the AbMat allows the abs to actively create movement, unlike the more isometric role they often play in functional exercises. We delve into a practical drill to illustrate this difference and discuss the benefits of using an AbMat, including more effective abdominal engagement and potential lower back pain reduction. We also clarify when the strict "butterfly" foot position is most beneficial and when modifications are acceptable, particularly during high-intensity workouts. Ultimately, we position the AbMat sit-up as a valuable exercise that complements other core movements, contributing to a well-rounded and functional trunk training program.
