Everyday after work I go to the gym. I just put in my mind that I needed after having back pains constantly for months. Sometime I skip a day or another during the weekdays and during the weekend I go there too when I have time.

So, I have gone both ways in life: healthy and "not so good on my fitness and food habits" and I can honestly say that everything in moderation makes me feel good. I used to work out like an animal and 12 years later (and about a million miles on the eliptical machine), I had to have my hip replaced. I do yoga regularly, that is my go to for exercise. That's because I found out that it does the same magic as if I worked my ass off in the gym.

I moved from the city to the mountains. That made me feel wonderful inside and out. I pick my apples fresh off my tree (pears, too) and I quit working no later than 8pm. Everything can wait but time with your family will pass you by if you don't make the effort to be there.

Namaste!

Woah, no one mentioned fasting in any form or kind?
I do that. I eat once a day, low protein, high fat, sugar and carb free diet.

Once a week I eat regular food (i.e. pancakes with maple syrup hashbrown and bacon), but still just once a day. Depending on my work schedule, most of the time Its 5-6 pm.

And I walk to work and back, its 4 miles but when I am not in a hurry I do it, most people would consider it too much.

Gym 3 - 4 times a week. Running once a week at summer (6-13km), snowboarding at winter. Proper nutrition - minimized sugar, no fast carbs, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I used to have one. I'm adopting a runny, jumpy hound dog on Saturday. I'm hoping he helps me get up earlier and actually do things. :D

I don't do fit but I try to be healthy. Last two years I started to drink different kind of teas: black with lemon, green, red, cinnamon, mint, etc with a spoon of sugar or honey. Now I get used to having it with no sugar at all. I'm in a process of quitting and starting a new job which will give me a few hours free in the morning. My desire is to start working out in the mornings and do yoga. The most important is I'm willing to have breakfast XP. I can walk a lot, on regular days my phone counts 8000 steps.

I avoid injury and exposure to dangerous solar radiation by remaining indoors and moving as little as possible.

But seriously, I like to go for walks, but I've gotten out of the habit. I like to wander and explore, and I think I'm kinda bored with my current location.

As far as nutrition, I try to have some vegetables one or two times a day. Sometimes I try to watch my calories, but I only have so many f***s to give about that.

Brazilian Jui Jitsu and Muay Thai. I sweat my ass off learning how to fight. It’s the bomb.

I try to do yoga in the morning before everyone else gets up, and maybe a short calisthenics workout before bed, doesn't need to be anything fancy. Best thing I've done lately is cut out sugar as much as possible, also I only drink water or black coffee.

The diet change has had the biggest benefit, I can't outwork a crap meal anymore 🤔
