Long levers – Minimal tools for health

Nomadstrong stands for getting strong and resilient with the least amount of tools and gadgets.

Here are some foundational tools you need to have if your life is taking you places and you want to stay on top of your health:

Break time reminder
A small program on your laptop that reminds you to take breaks. Sitting is the worst and when your work is exciting it’s easy to forget that motion is lotion for our joints and spine.

Posture reset
A good thing to do in these short breaks is to stop slumping and reset your posture.
Squeeze your butt to sit up tall, take a deep breath, and slightly squeeze your arms towards your ribs while letting your chest puff out a bit. This engages the muscles in your back that keep the upper part of your spine aligned and pull your shoulders in a good position.

Movement snacks

Besides regularly sitting up straight, you need to stand up and prevent the stiffness from creeping in.
Put together a repertoire of movement snacks that you like, that loosen up your shoulders and hips and keep your blood flowing.
Check out this blog post for some inspiration.

Damage control snack

If you are trying to manage your weight, have a healthy snack around that works for you. Especially while working it is a big ask to stay disciplined and bring up the willpower to resist sweet t(h)reats.
Do some damage control and make your main snack as healthy as possible.

Training goal

Don’t spend your time working out without knowing what you are working towards. Pick a goal that encompasses health and strength and structure your training around it.

It is difficult to have back issues when you can do strong pull-ups and a back bridge. Unfortunately, most of us follow random workout routines and don’t focus on improving our movement skills.
By aligning your efforts toward development, a lot of things fall into place.


Increasing the length of our levers is the only way to keep up. We take the most effective principles from our dynamic lifestyle and adapt them to our health and fitness. If you are looking to work out smarter, not harder, put these strategies into practice!
