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, Mental Health

In a recent podcast episode with Diane Allen we discussed some Non-Sleep Deep Rest protocols and I talked briefly about practicing Yoga Nidra with some guided meditations which features a body scan. I find this practice deeply relaxing and helps me focus when I am awake. To be honest, I often fall asleep while practicing, which kind of messes up the whole "non-sleep" part of the program. Even so, I always find this very beneficial, especially when I am overly tired, stressed and need more calm and focus in my life.

Fit and Strong, Fitness, Sleep, Work Outs

While this past year has not been one with a lot of big activity for me, some of the routines and habits I have put in place are really helping me to stay fit. I noticed that I automatically do some things, mostly out of habit, but they are helpful, healthy routines that I thought I'd share. The things that I learned - especially about habits - have really helped me to stay more fit and active than I would have. Over the past year+ (during the Covid pandemic), I haven't had the type of big goals like I did set a few years back. However I've still been able to keep up some exercise. While I'm not running any races right now, I still try to continue...

7 Ways to Improve Your Sleep

Sleep

We all know that getting healthy isn't just about eating right and exercising. Getting enough good quality sleep is important. Personally, I feel like sleep deprivation is torture for me. I don't know about you, but I'm always researching articles about how to improve your sleep. Some people can handle 4 -5 hours of sleep once in a while, but I can't. I really need a solid 7 or 8 hours a night to feel right.  I'm also the type of person who likes to wake up early, but not to stay up late. I find that without enough sleep: a sniffle turns into a cold a cold turns into sick annoyed turns into cranky tired turns into exhausted life just seems much harder it's hard to...
