The "4Fit" Wellness Approach: Simple Changes for Significant Gains
Written on
Chapter 1: Introducing the 4Fit Strategy
The "4Fit" wellness plan offers a straightforward concept: engage in four wellness activities for 30 minutes each day, tailored to specific times—morning, afternoon, evening, and night.
Feel free to choose different activities, but ensure they align with the appropriate time of day while minimizing overlap. At the end of a month, reflect on your progress.
For instance, here's a practical breakdown:
Morning Exercise for 30 Minutes
Starting your day with physical activity is more advantageous than exercising later. Morning workouts help set a positive tone for the day, aiding in appetite regulation, enhancing energy, improving concentration, and promoting better sleep.
Begin your day by hydrating with 20 ounces of water alongside your morning beverage. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a run, weightlifting, or cycling, the key is to stay active.
Afternoon Meal Prep for 30 Minutes
Preparing your meals is a healthier alternative to dining out or ordering food. Although it requires some dedication, doing all your meal prep in one session can save you time and stress.
Utilize your lunch break to prepare meals for the next day, storing them in microwave-safe containers. This approach alleviates the anxiety of meal planning, especially after a tiring workday.
Evening Reading for 30 Minutes
Reading is a powerful tool that offers numerous advantages, such as enhanced brain connectivity, a richer vocabulary, improved focus and comprehension, better sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and a decrease in stress levels.
Whether you prefer fiction or non-fiction, set aside your devices and immerse yourself in a good book to unwind.
Extra Sleep: 30 Minutes More Each Night
In simple terms, aim to retire 30 minutes earlier each night. While breaking poor sleep habits can be challenging, those extra minutes accumulate to over 100 additional hours each month.
Consider sleep a cherished activity, much like hobbies. Anticipate it, plan for it, and develop a mindset that appreciates rest. With time, you can adjust your sleep patterns more easily.
Wishing you the best on your wellness journey!
