π As an entrepreneur facing the challenge of growing a new company, I realized that while my business principles are solid, I needed to personally level up and change bad habits. After 7 years of neglecting my body, I'm amazed at the results of 3 months of health-focused dedication. Let Me Share The fundamentals!
πͺ Now, I'm in the best shape and stronger than ever. I've invested money and research time to narrow down the first principles to get results. Sorry ladies, this one's for the bros only, as I've researched / applied for myself. Let's dive into what I've learned! *Bros*
π₯¦ Focus on Whole Foods: Prioritize nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods to fuel your body and keep you feeling energized throughout the day. They help prevent disease, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health, keeping you at peak performance. Also... Eliminate Gluten if you can.
ποΈββοΈ Workout Smarter, Not Harder: Find effective workout routines, like reverse pyramid training, RPT starts with the heaviest weight and lowest reps, gradually decreasing weight and increasing reps. This method allows for optimal strength gains, efficient workouts, and reduced injury risk.
πConsistency is Key: Maintain a consistent workout schedule and nutrition plan, but don't be too hard on yourself if you miss a day or two. Bounce back and keep pushing forward.
π Supplements Are Your Friends: (see with your doc before taking any) Here's what I take Whey isolate, BCAAs, Creatine, and Collagen, Omega 3 and Vitamin D3. My personal favorite brand is Onnit (Not sponsored also expensive AF compared to other brands).
π Whey Isolate: A fast-absorbing protein, whey isolate helps repair and grow muscle tissue post-workout, boosts the immune system, and aids in weight management. It's also ideal for those with lactose intolerance.
π± BCAAs: Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) help reduce muscle soreness, improve workout recovery, and promote muscle growth. They also support energy production during exercise.
πͺ Creatine: This supplement increases muscle strength and power, promotes muscle growth, and enhances exercise performance. It works by increasing the availability of ATP (energy) within muscle cells.
𦴠Collagen: Collagen is essential for joint, skin, hair, and nail health. It also supports muscle recovery and improves digestive health. As you age, your body produces less collagen, making supplementation beneficial.
π§ Your Brain Matters: Prioritize brain-boosting foods and habits. Journaling is a great way to declutter your mind and maintain mental clarity. This enhances problem-solving skills, decision-making, and overall productivity
β° Take Time for Yourself: Life gets busy, but remember that you are your most important asset. Dedicate time for self-care and personal growth.
Remember, a healthy body and mind are crucial for success. By integrating these tips into your life, you'll be well on your way to becoming a better, stronger, and healthier entrepreneur.
