What lead me into FITNESS and why I developed the Wheel of Movement (WOM)
At the age of 21, I injured my lower back practicing and teaching army combatives; a form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
However, that did not stop me. I continued my military path of an unstoppable soldier.
Eventually, I had to see a back specialist. My diagnosis - two herniations of my L5-S1 vertebrae. It was well into my second year in the army and a good predictor of how my career would end.
Hint: Before I was ready.
In 2012, that changed.
I was now medically discharged, overweight, and depressed.
That was my "rock bottom."
I began to seek ways to lose weight, improve my back's stability and manage my mental health.
With discipline and study, I started to see progress. I was beginning to transform myself and my life.
And that was my catalyst -- I wanted to help others who felt as hopeless as I did.
I spent years learning, developing my craft -- and failing more times than I’d like to admit.
What did I learn? There are 4 pillars I live my life by. I categorized and labeled each pillar in effort to pass on my knowledge:
Release | Mobilize | Fortify | Recovery
These pillars are my Wheel Of Motion. My WOM.
It is my daily reminder to move; to progress physically and mentally. Your wheel. Your WOM is a daily practice of 4 areas of focus that worked me and many others.
WOM is also a series of methods that culminate in being a better human.
Build your WOM. Practice consistency. Drive results.
What is your WOM?
