84 days to health
2009 already. Time flies when I’m busy. Got some exciting stuff lined up for this year, as well in my professional life as in my personal life (which are interconnected to max at the same time).
I never made any new years resolutions, but this year I’ve written some down. And the first I want to share and put online is my mission to a healthy body. In short: in the next 84 days (12 weeks), I’m going to change my eating and sporting behavior. This in order to get back into my healthy lifestyle I was used to until something got lost somewhere.
My last post here I already talked about good habits, but unfortunately due to mainly personal stuff I didn’t have a change to really commit myself to the plan. This time I completely made the plan, looked if it would fit, and the committed myself to it.
To not make this post too long, I just give a summary of what I’m going to do, and get back on the different aspects each week as the progress continues:
- Weight training: creating an athlete body by increasing strength and muscle mass and thereby increasing my rate of metabolism.
- Cardiovascular training: for improvement of blood and the transport of it
- Stretching: specific stretching excersises to increase flexibility and therefore strength and cardiovascular system.
- Sport specific training: this will create the real fun part: snowboarding, freediving, athletics, etc. Also for improvement of balance and control.
- Nutrition: you are what you eat. Because it’s stupid to be a pizza, it’s time to re-energize my body by eating like a caveman and following a paleolithic diet.
- Rest: sometimes I forget to take rest, so I have to figure some stuff out first and this will be the most unexplored area for me personally. But it’s time to make some change to my 4-5 hours per night sleeping sessions.
