I'm working on improving my health. Lifehacker has what I think might
be a useful post:
[1]Where to Start When You Want to Optimize Your Health:
Exercise, any kind
You can run, lift weights, do yoga, take classes-there are tons of
options. Any exercise is better than none, and if you're feeling out
of shape, try doing a little more than whatever you're currently
doing.
A healthy week's worth of exercise should include:
Some cardio
Some strength training
You might be a runner who gets in a few quick strength sessions, or
a lifter who hops on the rower for a little cardio once or twice a
week. Or maybe you play a sport that gives you a good mix of both in
every practice.
If you're new to everything, explore until you find something you
love.
Here's the problem: there is no form of exercise that I love.
I'm someone who played three sports in high school, played a bunch of
intramural at uni, and even played soe semi-organized soccer and hockey
(ice and roller blade) as an adult. I like to hike. I like to swim. I
like to bike. I will lift weights or use a machine. I will hop on a
treadmill.
Love enters into none of my exercise equation. I've never experienced
any kind of "high" from exercise or sports. I even ran cross country
for a hot minute in high school and stopped because it was such a slog
and boring.
More sleep and less garbage food & stress - those I get behind whole
heartedly.
