I think we underestimate how difficult it is to actually think clearly when there’s constantly something demanding our attention.

For me, getting outside, moving and changing my environment helps massively. But has also genuinely become part of that over the last year.

They’re mushroom-based cognitive/adaptogenic blends, and I tend to use them when I’ve got a lot going on and need to properly zone in. I find they help with that feeling of focus and clarity without just adding more stimulation into the mix.

Obviously no supplement is going to replace sleeping properly, eating well, moving your body or actually giving yourself some space 😂

But as something that supports all of that, I rate them.

Been using Mindwork for about a year now and still reach for it regularly, so a genuine recommendation from me 🍄

Community and movement are medicine.

I feel incredibly lucky to be building something around what I genuinely believe in - movement, connection, the outdoors and understanding your own body better.

Training is obviously part of it. Getting stronger, moving better, building awareness and learning why your body feels and moves the way it does.

But I think wellness goes further than that.

It’s being outside. Trying things. Meeting people. Sharing energy. Being around the right people who genuinely bring you up - and hopefully doing the same for them.

That’s what I want Jasper Wellness to represent.

These outdoor sessions started simply, but seeing the people turning up, getting involved and the atmosphere that’s forming around them has made me realise there’s something pretty special to build here.

Strength. Movement. Mobility. Recovery. Bodily awareness. Community.

All of it feeds into the same thing: feeling better equipped for life.

And I’ve got something new in the works that brings a lot of this together.

Watch this space 🌊

There are two pushes in this movement - and the second is the one people often miss.

This is a single-arm landmine press + reach.

As your arm moves overhead, your shoulder isn’t working in isolation. Your scapula needs to rotate, tilt and glide around the ribcage alongside it.

The serratus anterior plays a major role here - helping control the scapula against the ribcage and contributing to the upward rotation needed for good overhead movement.

Think of two actions:

1. PRESS ↑
Drive the bar up.

2. REACH ↗️
At the top, continue reaching forward and slightly upward, allowing the shoulder blade to move around the ribs.

That second action is the important bit.

We often think mobility means stretching whatever feels tight. But restriction can also come from how well you coordinate and control movement - the relationship between your ribcage, scapula, joints and surrounding musculature.

Understanding where you hold tension, what needs to move and what needs to stabilise can completely change the way you approach mobility.

Keep the ribs and pelvis controlled, avoid forcing the range, and let the shoulder blade actually move.

Don’t just press. Press… then reach.

6–10 controlled reps each side.

When does exercise stop being just exercise… and start becoming wellness?

For me, it’s never just been about the workout.

Moving your body, getting outside, being around people, pushing yourself - then slowing things down, stretching, swimming, recovering.

I can explain the idea, but it’s better hearing it from someone who actually came down and experienced it.

This is something I want to explore a lot more - bringing movement, recovery and different experiences together.

More soon 🌊

Stop forcing productivity when it clearly isn’t working.

Sometimes changing your environment, getting outside, moving your body and putting the phone down does more than another hour staring at a screen.

Change the conditions. See what follows.
