Hills Iโll die on ๐๏ธ โ health & performance edition
After 20+ years around gyms, sport, strength training and healthcare, these are a few things I keep coming back to:
Do almost anything you can to improve your sleep. ๐ด
Sleep affects everything โ recovery, mood, appetite, performance and health.
Hydration matters more than people think. ๐ง
Sometimes the boring basics really are the answer.
Getting strong is one thing. Learning to recover is another.
You can train hard โ but you also need to give your body the opportunity to adapt.
Manual therapy has a place in recovery.
Chiropractic, massage, physio, acupuncture and other hands-on therapies can help with pain, movement and recovery. Looking after your nervous system matters too.
Work on yourself โ and learn to quiet your own noise.
Not every thought needs your attention. Not every opinion needs a reaction.
Walking is ridiculously underrated. ๐ถโโ๏ธ
For your body, your brain, your recovery and your health.
People should hug trees more. ๐ณ
Get outside. Get sunlight. Get into nature. Touch some grass โ literally.
Magnesium and vitamin D deserve attention.
Not magic pills, but important nutrients โ especially if you're deficient.
Eat more vegetables. ๐ฅฆ
Different colours. Different plants. Feed your body and your gut.
Quality red meat can absolutely be part of a healthy diet. ๐ฅฉ
Protein, iron, B12 and zinc. Context and your overall diet matter.
Balance beats restriction. ๐ซ
Don't create a life full of food rules. Eat nutritious food most of the time, enjoy your life โ and eat the Whittaker's.
Stress less about being perfect.
Train. Eat well. Sleep. Walk. Laugh. Recover. Repeat.
And one final hillโฆ
You don't stop training because you get older.
You train so you can keep doing cool s**t as you get older. ๐ช
Which hill are you dying on with me? ๐
