In Case You Missed It #26 - If You Don't Love Fitness

A quick recap of AMA #65 - If You Don't Love Fitness Click Here for my Free Approved Foods List! If you don't love fitness, or you can't prioritize it, here's what to do: Be Honest - Stop lying to yourself and saying you'll make it a priority. If it's not in the cards right now, it's not in the cards. And if you hate it, just do the bare minimum to be a healthy person! Adopt MED - Minimum Effective Dose - What is the minimum amount of effort you can get away with for the desired outcome? (Optimal Health and Longevity) My Minimum Effective Dose Recommendations: Workout Time Per Week = Hours (or less) per week. Total! Time Per Workout = 20-30 Minutes. That's it... Seriously! Before I continue, there are 168 hours in a single week. Subtract 8 hours of sleep per night, you’re left with 112 hours each week. If you work 40 hours per week, you’re then left with 72 hours… I’m asking for 2 of them. Let’s be realistic here. I’m a busy guy. But even I am not so busy that I can’t give up 2 of 72 hours!! What To Do Each Week: 2x per week = Hip hinge movement Examples: Squat, Deadlift, Kettlebell Swings 1x per week = Pulling Movement Examples: Weighted Chin-Ups, Body Weight Chin-Ups, or negatives and holds, if you can’t do chin-ups yet. 1x per week = Pushing Movement Example: Push-Ups. All you need is body weight. 2x Per Week = Yoga/ Mobility - These two yoga sessions should feel like a workout! You should get a good little sweat going! The beauty of this is you can combine the hip hinge movements with the pull and push movements! Example Week: Monday = Squats and Chin-Ups (20 minutes) Tuesday = Rest or take a walk outdoors Wednesday = Yoga Flow (20-30 minutes) Thursday = Squats and Pull-Ups (20 minutes) Friday = Rest or take a walk outdoors Saturday = Yoga Flow Sunday = Rest or take a walk outdoors That's really all you need to be a happy, healthy, mobile human being!! Will this help you win the CrossFit Games?! Of course not! But who cares?! I'm just trying to help average, everyday people, find ways to include fitness in their daily lives!
