Try and stick to a regular sleep schedule to really feel good.

That means going to sleep around the same time at night and waking up around the same time in the morning.

Carbs are "bad" when you eat the starchy and refined kind in excess, have an unbalanced diet, and are sedentary.
Solution? Do the opposite of those things and be healthier and happier 🙃

You might not like working out or eating vegetables, but they're still good for you.

These are required if you want to be healthy and happy 🙂

Capsaicin, the spicy part of peppers, can be good for your body in reasonable amounts of course. Try include some spice in your life 🔥

If you're looking for better health, you should feel good and energized after a workout, not bad and depleted.

Eat the rainbow they say. Having a variety of foods provides a variety of nutrients, which are good for you.

If you're going the stationary bike route, the upright bike is arguably better as your core is used more in addition to all the leg work.
That's not to say the recumbent bike doesn't have its place though.

Level Up is invading anime cons! Next month I'll be hosting a panel relating health and wellness to video game concepts. I do indeed game as hard as I workout 🎮

It'll be fun helping the anime community be healthier and happier.

Eat more real food and less ultra processed foodlike products.

[Level Up Wellness @lvlupxpwellness]

It's not fancy, but these are servings of some things I eat regularly. Most days are the "boring" meals that keep me healthy and happy. Lesson of the day: eat real food most of the time and yummy junk food part of the time.

DeAdLiFtInG iS bAd FoR yOuR bAcK" -Everyone that deadlifts wrong or flat out doesn't do them.

If my 77 year old client can safely RDL 100 lbs, anyone can. Just do it right, have some confidence, and you'd be amazed how far that will take you.

For a beginner thinking of personal training, think of it like drivers education.

Sure you can figure out how to drive on your own, but taking drivers ed classes with an experienced instructor is simply just safer and more effective.

Eat sweets in moderation. Added sugars and refined carbohydrates should be a small part of what you eat, not the majority of it.

Try eat more fiber and protein, since most people don't get enough daily.
