How many hours to put on health everyday?
Would like to quantify how many hours should I put on my health related activities everyday including mediation , exercise and meal planning. My current situation is 2 hrs in morning and 1 hrs in evening but seems less to me. Wondering what is the right number of hours for it ?
I’d say a minimum of 3 1+hour sessions a week, it pays off in so many different ways not just improved health. I sleep better, need less sleep time, have better energy and focus, am happier/calmer, etc. yes the way we live our lives currently it seems like there just isn’t the time, (and believe me I’ve put off exercise so many days weeks months) but I feel sometimes that’s more a failure of prioritization than a lack of time. See what can be dropped to make room (if nothing, oh well).
There are a lot of exercise apps these days tho, “7 minute workouts, anytime of day”, haven’t used them though. Anyone have experience with those?
Yeah, I use Sworkit to get at least an hour a week, mostly in 10-15min daily sessions, so much easier to maintain and ramp up than jumping straight into the deep end!
How many hours do you guys spend on cooking healthy meals at home ..I spend 2 hrs every 3 days
20 min strength training and 20 min jog/run 3 times a week.. and do fasting once a week for 24 hours or 18 hours . I found best balance for me.. I usually fast on Friday or Monday some times both to offset the weekend effect
What do you cook? I'm mostly dependent on whole foods salad bar these days ☺️
Eggs with Salad once a week.. chicken curry once a week.. idli and dosa couple of times a week some daals (lentils) mix up in the middle. And fish and lamb or goat once in couple of weeks.. I take care or non veg everything else wife does.. pretty broad.. meat I get from whole foods.. Everything else home made mostly.
Wife and I cook for the whole week on weekends . Takes about 3 hours . I try to workout for about 45 mins about 4-5 times a week. Wake at 6, gym from 7-8. Get to work at 915, leave at 6, home at 630. Gives me a solid 3 hours at home to relax and unwind . Will completely change once we have kids I guess
30 minutes everyday is more than enough. Long term consistency trumps short term intensity.
Gym exercise 3 hours/week, outdoor exercise (hiking and rock climbing trips) once a month, no meal planning :/
I think if you exercise at least twice a week, at least 20-30 minutes each time, you should be fine. Aerobics exercises are usually more beneficial for the body. As for meal planning, my wife helps me with it, so I don’t spend time thinking about it. Meditation is likely optional but from what I heard it should not take up much time.
