Health Hacks

Soon I should be able to say “I’m in better shape in my forties than at any other time!” This past year I lost 25.5 lbs and finally have my blood pressure consistently in the “Normal” range.

In case you’re interested, here are the things I’ve been doing…

Weight

• 45 minute workout with my brother-in-law twice a week:
  • 2-3 mile run, core, and weights
  • Swim 600 meters, interval running, core, and weights
• No eating after dinner until breakfast – no pre-bed snack or midnight eating.
• Healthy snacks
• Waiting until really hungry to eat
• Protein for breakfast before having any caffeine
• Ground flax seeds
• 30 push-ups each day
• Cold shower

Blood Pressure

• 7 minutes of exercise after breakfast: wall sits, planks, calf raises, squats, jacks, arm swings, and slow breathing
• 20 minute morning walk
• Less caffeine
• Drink hibiscus tea
