Have more energy: 7 steps in 7 days
All you have to do is follow the following steps for the 7 days. Some things might not be what you expect though.
- Wake up 30 minutes earlier than usual.
Sleeping in actually makes people lethargic and sluggish. Get into the
habit of waking up early, and avoid the stress of running late. This
also gives us time for some excercising. - Stretch. Do 15 minutes of cardio BEFORE you go to work - aerobics is the most convinent. Just load up a dvd and follow along.
Excercing releases endorphins in your brain. If you have morning sinus
problems, that would effectively make it go away. It’d also give you a
nice appertite for that big breakfast. - Eat a reasonable breakfast - eggs and bacon are fine.
Have a coffee. This will be your ONLY coffee, so savour it.
It’s 7:30 am. When was the last time you’ve eaten? A snack last night
at 10 maybe? It’s been a while. Load up on some good, hearty food. It’d
stop you from wanting to devour a hamburger for lunch later. - Eat the heaviest meal of day at lunchtime. You can have a steak if you like, but if you do more than 6 oz of red meat, don’t say I didn’t warn you about the heartburn. Take the entire hour eating lunch.
The feels weird, but works. If you’re going to have mashed potatoes and
steak, have it NOW. Take the time to eat it over an hour. Don’t rush.
Most people can’t stomach that much food at this hour, so you’d
actually end up eating less than you would at dinner time. Restaurants usually have lunch specials on entrees that gives you a smaller portion of the dinner plates, so you’re scoring a good deal as well. - Do another 15-30 minutes of cardio when you get home. 15 if you usually don’t excercise. 30 if you already do.
This would put around 5 hours between eating that hearty lunch and excercising. You should have plenty of food energy for this. - Eat a vegetarian dinner. No meat after 2 PM. Make sure it has lots of protein.
Carnivores sleep more than herbivores. The common heavy dinner at 6 PM
would make the normal person fall asleep during the movie at 8 pm. So
having a light veggie dinner gives you just enough juice to last
through the evening, without making you sluggish. - Make sure you take in 8 glasses of water during the day, but don’t guzzle two glasses at once.
This keeps your muscles hydrated so you won’t feel that acidic pain when you excercise.
At the end of seven days, you should notice a difference in your energy levels. You should be able to wake up feeling better, stay awake during the day with LESS caffeine, and excercise longer.
