Staying Healthy
“Stick with your plan long enough to allow change to come into effect. Don’t leave the game early!”
Get to Bed
Turn down the lights in your home a few hours before turning in for the night. The darkness cues your brain that it’s time to go to sleep, and will make it easier for you to do just that.
Spot Overtraining
Keep track of your waking pulse rate each morning. Once you know your average, you’ll also know when you're overtraining. Five beats or more above average is an indication you’re ready for a rest day. (You still have to go to work, though!)
Priority One
Exercising first thing in your day is the best way to get your workout in—and keep out distractions and excuses. Not a morning person? I’ve found even night owls can make the adjustment in 10–21 days.

When and what should I eat after exercising or training?
Eat a little something immediately after your workout—like a granola or energy bar. Your energy stores are depleted, and without food to convert to energy your body turns to muscle tissue for fuel—probably the very muscles you just spent your workout trying to build.
