The LEAST sexy fitness advice ever:
1) MOVE MORE, ALL DAY LONG. Non-exercise movement is the most undervalued tool in our wellness toolbox. You will see improvements in your mobility/flexibility, your mental health, and your metabolism.
Get your body and your brain out of stagnation by simply moving and using your muscles for a few minutes each hour. EVERYONE can do this, no matter what type of work.
Your gym workouts will bring greater benefits because your body is primed and ready to go, with more pain-free mobility.
If the "GYM GUY" is telling you non-exercise movement is just as important (or more important) as your gym workouts, then its likely not a lie!
2) GET OUTSIDE MORE. The path to improved mood and mental health must include more time spent outside. Getting direct sun early in the day (before 10am in our summers) has a profound impact on our mental health as humans. So plan some bursts of outdoor time each day, even if it is for short periods in the morning and evening hours.
One of the downsides to modern living is that we have created very comfortable indoor spaces with plenty of entertainment options. But air quality outdoors is much better than inside our sealed buildings (more oxygen, less CO2), the Vitamin D from the sun is vital for our health, and our brains are much more stimulated (but "peaceful: when we are out in nature.
BONUS TIP: Once a week (or more) -- plan some time spent in nature, away from all of the hustle and bustle of traffic, shopping,
and noise.
OHHHHH, and finally, get into THRIVE a few hours a week for focused STRENGTH, CARDIO, POWER, and CORE training. This work will pay off with more muscle, bone, and cardio fitness, as well as make our bodies less prone to injuries.
