Welcome

Hi there, welcome to my blog! So glad to have you here :-) This blog is an addition to my YouTube channel. Make sure to check it out (and subscribe)! 



I want to discuss several things here, such as:

• Fitness 

• Psychology

• Lifestyle 

• Productivity 

• Money

• Self improvement 

• Nutrition

• Stories and more...


The reason that the content is so varied, is that I want to share with you what I experience or have experienced in my life. I want to share with you what helped/helps me along my journey. Life is such a roller coaster! There is so much to learn and to do, that I find it awesome to document it. By doing so, I learn as well and might even help someone in the process. I also see it as leaving some kind of legacy. Later when my kids are older or when I am not on this planet anymore, I have left something behind besides some memories. Memories can be forgotten, but things which are recorded and written down, will stick around. On my YouTube channel I have the visual part, and on this blog I have the written down part.


I will make also sure that you are able to comment on the blog posts I write, so this blog is accessible to everyone. It would be awesome to create a community from which we can learn from each other and inspire one another. We are all on this planet together, why not help each other? Unfortunately, there is already enough misery in the world, but not here. I want this blog to be a peaceful and motivating platform, so that's what I'm going for. My name is Wesley and welcome to Maximise Your Life!

That 1 Individual That Changed My Way Of Thinking And Training (and from MANY others)

Image
I remember that a year ago, one night I was just scrolling on YouTube, trying to find ways to work out as the gyms were closed because of the pandemic. I came across a channel from a U.S. marine called the Iron Wolf  and this man has changed my life.  I saw him doing insane amounts of push-ups, pull-ups military style burpees and other body weight exercises in his videos which literally blew my mind. Over a 1000 burpees or push-ups is very common for him. Rest is extremely limited to none and the tempo is very high. I seriously did not know that one could be capable of this - and it got me. But let us first talk about who is the Iron Wolf . Who is the Iron Wolf? "My name is Arthur Schwartz Berg and I'm a Russian immigrant. I came to the United States when I was 7 years old. My parents moved to Brooklyn New York after the fall of the Soviet Union, because like all immigrants they want to make a better life for themselves.  So, we came to Brooklyn New York and that's kind of

Da Vinci's Daily Routine: What Can We Learn?

Image
Leonardo da Vinci had a bizarre routine, but what can we learn from it? For the ones who don't know who Leonardo da Vinci is, he was a painter with master pieces like the Mona Lisa, he was an architect, inventor, a student of all kinds of scientific things and born on April 15 in the year 1452.  Every day he painted, created, invented, built and designed. There's so much to tell about this man, but today I want to zoom in on his daily routine. Sleep Routine So let's start with his sleep routine which was quite bizarre. It's said that he used a polyphasic sleep routine, which means he took short naps throughout the day instead of sleeping all night. Leonardo decided that he spent too much time on sleep and invented his own sleeping routine. Most of us are monophasic sleepers, which means sleeping several hours at a time. In Da Vinci's routine, he slept for 15 to 20 minutes every 4 hours of the day. This is quite extreme, because it comes down to a total of 2 hours ev

Taking it SLOW in a FAST-PACED society

Image
For a long time I lived my life as if I was in a constant hurry. I always had the feeling that I never had enough time. Quite funny, because I already had that feeling BEFORE I had children. Now that I do have children, I have a greater understanding of this feeling than EVER before! At this point in my life I realize that I had PLENTY of time before, but I just never saw that.  Not anymore experiencing pleasure At this point in my life I have my full-time job as a WMS support engineer (WMS stands for Warehouse Management System), I have a family to take care of and 4 pets (which includes 2 dogs and 2 cats), I have several hobbies like creating YouTube videos and playing video games (yes, I'm back at it every once in a while) and I exercise regularly (and with regularly I mean around 4-6 times a week), doing high repetition calisthenic exercises only, like for example military style burpees, push-ups and squats and several ab exercises. However, I realized something very recently.
