THE WAY FAM

Physical Wellness

Listen Later

Let’s be real, getting exercise, enough sleep, and eating healthy can feel impossible some days. Today we share some personal stories, practical tips, and useful recommendations to help physical health. Zach nerds out about sleep while Hanna touches on the challenges of sleep, then we ramble about different types of exercise, and the importance of a nutritious diet and the 80% rule. Plus, Forest drops in with a joke that’ll make your day.

 

 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Exercise: The goal is consistency over intensity. You don’t have to be a fitness freak, just get sore, sweat and breath hard.
  2. Nutrition: Whole foods over processed foods. If it was alive recently it’s probably good.
  3. Sleep: Good sleep is a game-changer. Start with small changes, like a bedtime routine or cutting down on screen time before bed.
  4. Progress Over Perfection: No need to do it all at once. Just take small steps that move you in the right direction.

      Action Steps:

      1. Move More: Start small. Go for a walk, try rucking, or do a quick 10-minute workout—just keep moving.
      2. Prioritize Sleep: Set a reminder 30 minutes before bed to start winding down—whether it’s reading or having some quiet time.
      3. Eat Whole Foods: Challenge yourself to swap out one processed snack for something real—fruits, veggies, or protein.
      4. Take it One Step at a Time: Progress beats perfection every time. Just focus on what you can do today and build from there.
