bows Replace sitting with movement If you consider that lack of time is an obstacle to physical activity, find ways to exchange sedentary time for movement. Transport training is a good way. For example, walking, jogging or cycling to the workplace. Something that I do myself is cycling in front of the TV instead of sitting on the sofa. Rolling two hours in front of an exciting football match is a smart way to combine utility with fun. Skip breakfast If you want to limit your calorie intake, I recommend intermittent fasting. I think the simplest method then is 16:8, which I apply myself (at least on weekdays). This means that you eat your meals every day in an eight-hour window. For me, it means that I simply skip breakfast and during the day eat lunch, possibly a snack and dinner. I think that breakfast is the most important goal of the day is mostly a myth and it is mostly about habits. Studies have also shown that this type of fasting can extend life. Take a nap I like to take a nap (or so-called power nap) when I have the opportunity. Even if it only takes a few minutes, I think it’s a very good investment for your well-being. I feel much more alert and can stay active the rest of the day in a better way. Thanks Stefan for your tips!
