What are you doing to keep healthy?

Question

Are you actively trying to better your health? What are you doing to do so? Let everyone know if you have started or increased exercise, changed your diet, gave a bad habit up, etc. For me, I started running more often. I do lots of yoga but increased my cardio workouts.

I was a competitive sprinter and long jumper and vert skater growing up. So I tend to train in these a lot. The skateboarding I don't do as much these days since I live hours away from the nearest vert ramp.

Yet I do my sprint intervals all the time, constantly timing my 100m dash. I can't beat my teenage PR of 10.3 secs but I can still stay under 11.5. It's one of my ultimate ways to get in shape and stay in shape. When my times start to exceed 12 secs, I clean everything up and train really hard until I'm below 11.5 again. I might have to compromise to under 12 seconds by my 50s; right now I settle at under 11.5.

My nutrition is also pretty tight. I only eat junk around once a month. My main nutrition leak though is alcohol; I'm trying to cut down on it (I managed to go the first weekend this weekend in over a year without drinking, thanks to @lightbulb27 who dared me to do it).

I also do some calisthenics motions. At the very least I try to do 3 sets of push-ups and pull-ups to max every other day. Sometimes that's all I end up doing besides my sprint intervals, but I try to at least do those. I tend to get most motivated to amp things up and start going to the gym during the summer.

I used to be in my school’s swim team, but quit due to COVID (it was not really my choice, I had to).

I run everyday for about 7kms either in the morning or in the evening. Depends on my schedule. Yoga was and still is, a mandatory class in school. I’ve been doing Yoga since 6th grade.. so for about 6 years now. It calms my mind, but sometimes, while doing a couple of aasanas, I can’t help but stress out about something.. like there is something or the other going through my mind which prevents me from truly calming down. I’m way too impatient lol. I do Pilates in the weekends along with running. I do Yoga on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

My diet hasn’t really changed. I make sure to eat healthy food.. my mom has always empathized on taking care of our health. My only problem is that I don’t drink enough water. I definitely should change that.

I wish I could learn cycling, but I live in a bustling city, so unfortunately, it isn’t really an ideal or a safe place to cycle

melanieeeB · Accepted Answer

I'm eating healthy most of the time, I drink enough water, I exercise and also keep myself mentally healthy too

lightbulb27 · Answer

Im as active as I can be... going to gym playing b-ball, weights... walking, cycling outdoors, ride motocross, and yard work. my body doesn't handle as much as used to so I have to take it easy and know my limits else it takes days to want to move again. On my birthday I bicycle my age in miles.

Im in decent shape now relative to when covid kicked me to the curb, but I feel my age... something is soar all the time. friends of mine slightly older take meds to manage the continual pain, I just take the pain so far.

I drink water and tea and some coffee, that's it. no soda, I've cut out most sweets and eat good diet thanks to my honey @midnightmoon05.

I do indulge in these French cookies from Costco. Sugar is my medicine/achiles heel? Important to work out the jaw muscles and enjoy life.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Honestly since school reopened I am living a very unhealthy lifestyle by overworking myself. I have been skipping every Breakfast and lunch meals everyday at school so I can get time to write few poems and songs which will be published under school magazines. I am waking up super early like 3-4 am to study. I'm sleeping around 12-1 am. I am not taking anymore naps and that 4 hrs sleep is all I have. I have became more stressed for high school life and elders telling me everyday that 9th grade is tough and if I don't do good enough then I will fail.

Pudsmucker · Answer

I enjoy keeping fit but on my tirms. I spent some time in the military it was forced participation. Running formation sometimes the fastest Runners up front this floor runners in the back so much inconsistency. Running in formation there are a lot of knee and foot injuries. I've had hip replacement. I love riding bicycles and hiking. I purchased a Schwinn airdyne. Elliptical bicycle this Bike is for inclement weather and winter. I travel about 8 miles a day for a half hour, during the week and on weekends approximately an hour and a half, for about 24 miles.

NathanDavis · Answer

I could do a lot more.. but in general I have some good habits, while avoiding or quit bad ones

I never smoked, or get wasted (drunk), I don't do drugs... I used to sleep very little because of many reasons but in the last years I've gotten better at that, sleep more as well as having some actual rest at nights

when it comes to my diet, it's also been a few years now since I have a much better and balanced diet, based on home made meals and as less processed food as possible, also drinks lots of water (tons because this is Texas)

I don't like gyms at all, I don't do well with routine workouts either, but I've been actively in sports for over 20 years and that's how I keep healthier, fit and in shape and also!! works very great to relieve some stress and to blow some stamina out of which there can be plenty, sometimes

exitseven · Answer

I have been eating better and I workout 4-5 times a week. I am trying to lose some weight. Last year my doc wanted to put me on blood pressure meds and I am trying to get it down without drugs. I had it measured last month and it was almost where it should be.

LisaLisa89 · Answer

I have been doing more walking, just so I can maintain a good level of general fitness, but definitely not doing gym or anything like that. That's a step too far for me.
I have always tried to eat healthily, and am definitely carrying on with that so that I stay in the best condition for when we're going to be trying for a baby.
I've never been one for caffeine or alcohol, but I'm making sure that I always drink plenty of water, despite the fact that my bladder has always been a bit unpredictable at night.
I haven't really changed a great deal as I've always been healthy, and I want to keep it that way.

Phoenix-gb · Answer

I had started up at the gym, was keeping pretty regular schedule too until I got Covid a few weeks ago, haven't been able to shift the cough since so having to take a break but planning to get back to it once I can go longer than 5 minutes without it feeling like I'm trying to bring up a lung.

That being said, not doing it for my own health but to try to look better, it's not something I enjoy doing, but I'm unwanted the way I look right now so need to do something.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

I'm fairly active, or try to be. I do fitness bootcamp 5-6 days a week, for an hour each session. Depending on the week, it can be endurance, strength, or a combination of both!

In addition, I do running, walking, kickboxing, jump rope. I love walking on my breaks at work to not only destress, but get up and move around since I have a sedentary job.

As for diet/eating habits? It... could be better? LOL. I'm currently doing IF (intermittent fasting), but for the most part, I eat what I want. I just watch portion sizes and stay active. And cut out carbonated drinks, and drink teas and water mostly.

DaveToo · Answer

With the number of injuries I've sustained over the years as well as my arthritis, diabetes, and a heart condition, anything more than my stationary bike, hand weights, and Bow flex, would be too much.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I've always stayed fit. and it's why I tell people that getting in shape doesn't have to be difficult. The hardest part is putting your mind in gear. Once you do that? It's a doddle.
I play Rugby once a week
Weights 3/4 times a week
Running 2, 3 or 4 times a week
Boxing or Krav Maga once a week

MrTuxedo · Answer

For my physical health, I exercise very regulary. I run, I go to the gym and play drums.

For my mental health, I take long walks or drives to clear my head. When I'm alone I talk to myself out loud (which makes me understand my thoughts easier) and overall just try not to stress over stupid things.

Emiliamazing · Answer

I’ve started to cut out more alcohol from my diet. This may sound strange, but I’m trying not to overdo it in terms of my cardio. Sometimes overdoing it can be too much of an energy drain and I don’t have enough gas left for the other parts of my life.

logoritms · Answer

I have been really lazy during the winter. I didn't exercise and eat a lot of junk food. As a result I have gained weight and became really out of shape. :( I'm very dissapointed about that. So recently I started running to lose weight and cellulite and became more toned for the bikini season.

Kayla45 · Answer

I have a local gym membership nearby, I go at least 3 times a week, I'm not so much worried about building body strength more so than just staying physically fit and active. 😊

I use a treadmill and their pool and practice my backstrokes. It's heart pounding and super fun to spend an evening, especially if I'm off work or if my husband is accompanying me. 💕

realbratz · Answer

Beside eating/drinking healthy, our mental health plays a very big role in how we feel in our body and mind ofcourse. If you’re constantly ungrateful, sad, angry etc etc that all causes the body becoming ill. Like stubborn people always got achy knees lol

DonkeyDan · Answer

Healthy diet, gym, walking, and "other" forms of exercise 😏

wheresmrcunnunglis · Answer

stretching once I wake up usually by following a yoga video or just in bed stretching my hips back and all of that. I stretch even in the shower and I have very short hair so I don't care if it gets wet since it will dry quickly. As well as when cooking. I also just do 30 to 60-minute strength-based workouts from youtube or just bike which is my main mode of transportation so that usually helps a lot with the cardio portion and clearing my mind.

Gollum · Answer

The best way to stay healthy aside from exercise is to consume lots of Vitamins and stay away from all pharmaceuticals. Seriously, don't even take Tylenol. That crap will mess up your liver. Unfortunately fruits and vegetables don't contain as many vitamins anymore nowadays. So you'll have to supplement. But use quality products only. This approach has worked for me.

cosmicallyinclined · Answer

Kkstarzz96 · Answer
