@Antoni Krolik so true . I go through phases of using tech and media and then just cutting it off for periods of time It can literally feel like a weight lifting off your shoulders when you detach from it . It’s very strange , but you just don’t understand what this stuff can do to your mind etc.

@Antoni Krolik The brain is a powerful thing that can lead your behaviour patterns . We have to take control of who is programming the thing lol. I stopped watching tv maybe over 20 years ago which for many would seem totally weird , but they probably understand why now It’s not that I don’t watch things coz I do , it’s just I want to select what I watch and when I watch it instead of sitting under a never ending flood of programmes and advertising

@Antoni Krolik I’ve learned the quickest and easiest way to lose body fat for me is to just eat less calories (not necessarily less food as sometimes youl eat more food !) “Eat less move more “ is not really an accurate saying For most people (there might be exceptions) I’d change it to “if you want to lose body fat …. Eat less calories than your daily maintenance requirement… and if you what to move more then that can help a little bit too but not as much as you’d expect… but even if you don’t move much youl still lose fat “ However , if a person likes eating then eat your maintenance and do a heck of a lot of walking 😁

@Antoni Krolik yeah , that an interesting one I tend to eat the same meals a lot in the same quantities so that helps if you want real precision

@Russ Walker thanks mate

@Russ Walker yeah , I prefer not to hold my breath too long , so what your describing seems to work best and only holding the breath as much is necessary It can be a bit long winded (unintentional pun lol) if your thinking it through step by step . Breath -brace-squat etc It seems like you can begin the squat downward whilst simultaneously taking a breath and bracing , but don’t dilly dally too long before taking the breath and brace

@Donna Koch I recently saw A video of a soccer player who improved his sprinting speed I think it was by working with a coach that reduced his stride to make it shorter and I guess this must have had an effect on which part of the foot he was landing on . All fascinating stuff if you like to geek out on all the deep analysis 🙂🫨😁

@Donna Koch I don’t like walking about actually barefoot in my house as there is always something uncomfortable to step on ! Also my feet I think are still a bit weak and maybe more prone to hurting . But maybe I need more actual barefoot time to strengthen my feet Think there is a channel called barefoot runner or something that goes deep into it . Probably quite a few channels . The barefoot shoes I wear are still quite thick and supportive. I may need to down to a thinner model to give them a gentle challenge to get stronger and also get more ground feedback . It seems to be a journey . Doesn’t happen overnight . Like most things eh !

NIce one mate, keep up the good work
