Today I’m wrapping up this week’s health and fitness theme with some final quick Q&A. The first one’s a biggie that a lot of clients and readers have been asking, but the answer might surprise you. Q: “What supplements do you take?” My Answer: I take one supplement — creatine, 5g per day.
Two, if you count whey protein powder.
I eat the rest of my supplements — such as having salmon twice a week, and green vegetables and a cup of blueberries daily. That’s it. In my world simplicity is paramount. Plus, in most cases, a proper diet can negate the need for heavy supplementation. (And, IMO, it works better and is better for you)
Q: “What’s the best exercise program?” My Answer: You need to do strength training at least twice a week to keep muscle mass… three times to build muscle. But you don’t need to lift or “workout” every day. That often just leads to overuse injury. I still believe my Turbulence Training workouts (created in 2001!) are the best fat burning, muscle building workouts you can do in a short amount of time.
In addition to strength training, you should walk an hour a day. It’s good for your body, and a great way to get some much needed thinking time.
I also recommend using my 90-day planner tool here to build specific fitness goals.
It’s not just for building business blueprints.
For example, if you’re a 40-year-old man with a 90-Day Outcome goal of losing 10 pounds…
Your 3 process goals (action steps) could be:
a) 10,000 steps per day b) Three TT Workouts per week c) Eat 2100 calories per day (use MYfitnesspal app to track) If you’d like to dive deeper into how to create the optimum exercise program to reach your goals… Or how to get the best “bang for your buck” from your meal planning — so that you can perform at your best from the minute you wake up... to whenever your head hits the pillow again… Then I highly recommend joining us for our upcoming training on: How to Achieve Ultimate Health, Energy, and Longevity in 2025.
