Fit and Strong, Sleep

Getting sleep for health and fitness is crucial for me. From time to time I ask myself, "What's the MOST important thing I can do for my health and fitness?" My first thought usually revolves around food. Something that I shouldn't eat. Or something that I should eat more of. Then I think about exercise. Am I getting enough? Of the right kind - not too much cardio and not enough strength right? But what I have found is the very most important thing for me is getting enough sleep. Followed up by drinking enough water. Those are two really simple things actually, but also some of the first to go when I get busy and stressed. While the right foods and the right exercise is so important, I...

Fit and Strong

The purpose of today's post is to recommit my focus to staying fit and strong.  Recently my sleep and stamina have been in short supply, so I'm starting again.  Getting comfortable with starting again (and again and again) is probably the most important thing I've learned in the nearly 18 years I've been focusing on getting and staying fit. I'm sharing this in case someone else is also at the stage of starting again. Today I needed a bit of help from AI in figuring this out and I asked about getting stronger. These steps will help, but only if I actually do them. So this is what I'm thinking about for restarting my commitment and focus on strength building: Building strength requires both physical and mental commitment....
