Simple, not easy

Health & fitness is simple, not easy.

Meaning?

You only need to check a few ‘healthcare’ boxes and you’ll be well on your way.

I call these checkboxes the ‘pillars of health and fitness’.

And whilst this isn’t an exhaustive list, it’s a damn good place to start:

Sleep 7-9 hours a night

Drink 2-3L water every day

Eat a portion of protein with every meal

Strength train (HARD) 2-4x per week

Get your heart rate up towards it’s maximum 1-2x per week

Walk >5000 steps every single day

Do your best to manage psychological stressors in your life

Simple right? Turns out, simple doesn’t mean easy.

Because there’s one other pillar I didn’t mention…

Consistency.

The rare tendency these days for someone to keep showing up.

The hard part isn’t just executing these pillars once, but day after day, month after month and, you guessed it, year after goddamn year. And it’s what builds a system (you) that’s fit & healthy for LIFE. That means making time, not finding time. It means grabbing the bull by the horns and taking control. If health is important to you, that is.

The good news is that I just gave you the list of pillars. 

Which takes the guess-work out of it on your end (yay!)

So, if you’re more of a 6-hours a night kinda person, can we make it 6.5?

Can we up a litre of water to 1.5L?

Can we turn that 1 workout a week into 2?

Incremental changes lead to compounding gains. Go execute.
