1 month, that’s all it takes. 1 month of lifting, sweating, pushing, pulling, falling, failing, flailing and dieting to get into the best shape of your life. I’m not saying you’ll have abs that you can grate cheese on or muscles you can pull cars with, but if you commit 100% of yourself into it for just 1 month, you can get some pretty amazing results.

First I got to prepare Salt Fish and Ackee, the national dish of Jamaica with my friend Daniel who grew up there.
