Couple's Impressive Self Reliant Life on a Remote Tropical Island – Off Grid Living
Marjo and An have an incredible off-grid homestead lifestyle in the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia. They've built their own home using locally sourced wood, they harvest fruit from the forest, they fish for their protein, they raise chickens for eggs and meat, and they also generate solar power, harvest rainwater, and use a well for their water and electricity. The island they live on does not have any villages or roads, so everything is transported with a small handmade boat, from their groceries to their fuel. It's not an easy lifestyle that they've chosen, but it is quite beautiful and rewarding (and they can surf from their front door!).

The PERFECT Mobility Routine to FIX YOUR SIT (3 Min/Day)
Body feeling stiff and you've noticed you've developed poor posture? If you sit most of the day, then these are some of the things you'll experience. But you can fix that in just 3 minutes a day, with a mobility routine that consists of 3 simple mobility exercises that’ll work on the most problematic areas, including shoulder mobility and hip mobility. Grab your free PDF copy of the mobility workout: https://builtwithscience.com/3-minute-stretching-routine-pdf Click below for a step by step plan training plan that reveals all the best exercises you should do for each and every muscle group: https://quiz.builtwithscience.com/ Click below to subscribe for more videos: https://www.youtube.com/jeremyethier/?sub_confirmation=1 Before getting into the mobility workout, let’s start by looking at a pretty crazy study. Researchers split participants into 3 different groups: a control group and 2 test groups. The control group sat and did nothing. With the test groups, the researchers used a neuromuscular electrical stimulator to send 17 electrical currents into their back muscles at regular intervals. One group received a low-level current, while the other group received a high-amplitude current that caused their back muscles to contract. What did they find? For the high-amplitude group (those whose muscles contracted from the current) the stiffness in their backs almost completely reversed. So, what does this mean for you and I? You simply need to start moving the joints and contracting the muscles you don’t use when you’re sitting all day. That said, I know how hard it can be to stick to a mobility routine consistently. That’s why my team and I have worked together to find the 3 mobility exercises that focus on the most problematic of areas. The first exercise is great for improving shoulder mobility and rounded shoulders. It’s called the wall clock. Stand sideways with your fingertips touching the wall and your thumb pointing down. Engage your core and, without arching your back, slowly draw your palm in a big semi-circle forward and up the wall. Then, complete the circle by moving your arm back and down the wall, letting your shoulder blade move back and down as your arm travels behind you. Reverse the circle to get back to the starting position and spend about 30 seconds on each side. Now, let’s focus on the back and neck with the cat cow. Start on your hands and knees, with your hands directly under the outer edges of your shoulders. Then, spin your elbows towards your thighs to engage your lats. Inhale, as you gently lift your tailbone towards the ceiling and reach your chest forward, through your biceps, to stretch your abs. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lift your chin and head up. Then, you’ll wanna go in the other direction. Exhale, and imagine there was a rope, pulling your mid-back up towards the ceiling, and rounding your spine. As you do this, push the floor away to open up your shoulder blades. Then, use your neck muscles tuck your chin by looking towards your knees. Do this for about 30 seconds, then for the next 30 seconds, some back to a neutral position and turn and look towards your left foot to stretch the muscles on the right side of your lower back and rib cage, then return to center. After, same on the other side. Turn and look at your right foot. Finally, the perfect 3-minute mobility routine wouldn’t be complete without a hip mobility focused exercise. Exercise 3 does exactly that. We’ll start at a Level 1 version and then build up to Level 3, which is the most effective variation. Level 1: Sit on the floor and bend one leg in front of your body at around a 90° angle and then do the same with the back one. Then, sit up and tall and try to position your shoulders square to the front of your shin. Keep your spine tall and exhale as you reach your chest forward, hingeing over your front leg until you feel a deep stretch on the outside of your front leg’s hip or glute area. Inhale, as you come back to the starting position and exhale, as you get into your next rep. For Level 1, do 30 seconds on each side, trying to get deeper into the stretch with each rep. Level 2: Maintain that same 90 degree leg position, but this time, as you lean forward, push your front shin down into the ground and lift your hips up to get your torso upright. Then, reverse this by lowering as slowly as you can, while leaning forward. Again, aim to do 30 seconds on each side. Level 3: In this case, you’ll repeat what we did in Level 2 but, instead of sticking to just one side at a time, for a deeper stretch in your groin and hip flexors, “windshield wiper” your knees directly over to the other side on the way down, and repeat this motion back and forth. To help you stay upright, reach your arms out in front of you and engage your core during the transition. Again you can use your hands for support here if you need it.

The 10 Greatest Dog Breeds For Your Lifestyle
🔥 Check out more videos: @ViralBe Nowadays, it is very difficult to find a good friend. A friend whom you can trust, feel safe with, and who will be loyal to you in any situation or phase of life you are going through. This might not be surprising, as life is a struggle for survival, and people have been shaped over thousands of years to survive in any event or situation. However, fortunately for us, we have a guaranteed friend, and that is the dog. Ever since humans and wolves somehow found peace in the struggle for food, they became our right hand. Since then, they have not only aided in our development but have remained our most loyal friends, surpassing even humans themselves. An old Albanian saying goes, "A good friend is worth more than a sack of gold." And I say that having a dog as a friend is worth more than two sacks of gold. The purpose of this video is not to push you to buy or adopt a dog. But if you are a dog lover and want to find your ideal friend, not just for their loyalty, as all breeds are loyal, but to match your lifestyle, whether you already have one or want to create one. So, for this episode, I have listed 10 breeds with different characteristics that have the greatest potential to fit well with various lifestyles.

Couple Living in a Yurt as a Simple & Affordable Tiny House Alternative
Leah and Joe are an adventurous couple who moved from a log cabin into a skoolie, and then into a yurt! They are now living full-time in a tiny yurt with their two black cats in Ontario, Canada. The yurt is 20' in diameter and 314 square feet on the interior, the round structure is made of white pine lattice walls and roof rafters, and it is covered with wool felt insulation, a vapour barrier, and a canvas cover on the exterior. You can follow and find out more about Leah and Joe's yurt life adventures, and find out about the yurt rentals they're planning to set up on their land on Facebook and Instagram here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555845030001 https://www.instagram.com/mindful_makwa Joe and Leah's yurt is a 20' Mongolian Yurt (or super ger). These beautiful yurts are made in Mongolia and are distributed by Groovy Yurts. You can check them out here: https://www.groovyyurts.com/ At the time of filming, Leah and Joe had only been living in the yurt for 5 months, but they had already built a massive deck, set up their yurt as a cozy home, built an outhouse, brought in an electrical panel, built a woodshed and outdoor shower, and had a well drilled. Their future plans include adding a septic system, and building a comfort station with an indoor shower and toilet, and they're also looking into setting up a small yurt resort so that folks can visit the First Nation reserve where they live, and experience living and sleeping in a yurt.
