Discussion on: How to Stay Fit Physically and Mentally and Keep Coding

[Jean-Michel Plourde]

What I do to stay fit:

• Every 25 minutes (pomodoro session), I get up and stretch.
• I alternate between sitting and standing desk positions (if the job/internship I have has one)
• I go mountain biking on the weekends during summer

What I want to improve:

• Going to the gym. I used to go there 3-4 a weeks and really enjoyed power lifting
• Cut on carbs more. Not all a problem, but I can still improve.
• Take a walk on my lunch breaks. Listening to podcasts instead of watching YT videos.
• Learn a martial art. I only had some class during pre college and had fun since it's a nice all around discipline (physical and psychological)

Thank you for sharing 🙏 I really like your upcoming plan very much!

Just today I went for a walk during lunch break. I had your post in mind and it inspired me to do better.
