The Wake Up Call with Jesse Fuller

The way you think, how you act and who you hang out with will determine the direction of your life. If you do what everyone else is doing, you'll be exactly like everyone else. You will be vanilla -- bland and boring. Is that what you want?

We know there are two types of people in the world. People who see the world as 'bad' (pessimists) and some who view it 'good' (optimists). What if there was a third option, who viewed it is neutral. Well, there is!

You know that one person who always gives you the information or feedback you'd rather not hear, but need to know? This person isn't your enemy! They are your biggest asset and friend. Here's why.

Last year I made a balance beam and started playing around with balance training. Now, I'm doing it almost daily and making it a regular practice. Here's my experience on balance it so far.

You say your body is the (or one of the) most important things in your life. That's great! But do your choices, actions and decisions back up what you say? Time to find out.

As humans, we all go through the same (four) phases of learning. Whether it be a new skill, different exercise or a unique task. Once you understand -- and can show -- the levels, you can increase your rate of learning.

Do you know which exercises are the ones your body needs the most? The ones you suck at! Oftentimes this means unilateral work. The more stable the base, the higher the peak.

A 5-day lockdown sends a million people into panic and chaos. How weak-minded and unprepared must people be to succumb to this? My thoughts. There's too many snowflakes and not enough people taking responsibility for their life.

You can't control other people. You can't control the weather. You can't control the traffic. Rather than fixating on the externals -- what you have no control over. Learn to control what is in your control. That's all you can do!

When you stop living the same as everybody else, people will take notice. They will say "you've changed" and that you're acting weird. This is a good sign and means you are on the right path. Stay on it!

So, you have grand plans and ambitious goals. That's great! What are you doing to reach them? That's the difference between creating goals and achieving them.

What's the difference between the "best" and the "most convenient"? Pretty much everything! This is why you should take your time deciding exactly what you want to achieve with your body. And how important it is to you...

Jesse tackles a handful of questions which got sent through. Covering everything from martial arts, business, strength training and nutrition. I hope you enjoy the Q&A style format.

How well, or poorly, you prepare determines your performance. The 6 P's will make sure you prepare the right way. "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail".

Are you a busy person who needs more energy? Then an energy drink is what you need! Is it, though? Here's what you should know about them.

You can't have a strong body with a weak mind. Which is why it's important to train both aspects -- the mental AND physical. If you can get the right programme and regime in place, it could change your life.

What does waiting for a new year have in common with achieving a goal? Nothing! So, why do so many people wait around, so they can set a New Year's Resolution?

Reading books is a simple, cheap and easy way to become smarter. That's why I read so many! Here's what I learned from eight of the books I read this year.

The end of one year and the beginning of another. But will that mean anything changes for you and your life? Why don't you find out?

There are two types of efficiency when it comes to strength training. 1) Efficient movement 2) Energy efficiency Discover the difference and which type you should be striving for.

The majority of your results won't come between Christmas and New Year's. So why are you freaking out so much about what to eat and how much? Try using the approach Jesse talks about here instead.

How many diets and training programs have you tried over the years? If you're like most people, it's a LOT. This is because you got exposed to "Shiny Object Syndrome".

The phrase "I don't have time to exercise" needs analysing. After careful examination, and a close look at how (and what) you spend your time on. You will realise you have more than enough time to train.

If lifting weights is so dangerous, why do so many people do it? And what causes people to get injured when doing it? Find all that out, plus more!

"Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulty or adversity". There are three levels of resilience. Find out what they are and which level are you currently at.
