Two things for you to consider:
1. Creating and maintaining routine is the best way you have to reach your fitness goals. This is probably more important than what you eat or how you exercise. Cut out bad habits one-by-one, add good practices slowly, and practice having good health.
2. Every single workout and every single diet has worked for someone - but not all diets and exercise routines will work for you. The problem is that all of our bodies really do respond differently and your job is to be the expert on your body and how it works. Don't get caught up in what everyone else is doing - focus on the results you're getting instead.
- bgraves 15y agoThis is good advice, but what about non-fitness goals? I think it's helpful to have a systematic approach to all aspects of your life, but figuring out where to start can be difficult. For instance, if you feel sleepy or sluggish and it's a problem that you'd like to correct, you might be inclined to adjust your sleeping habits. But what if your sluggishness is a function of your eating habits or your mattress quality? I agree that there's no perfect formula that one can follow, but I think it's more of finding a "system" that you can apply to your life to break down the problems and correct them one by one. So, you might call up your area mattress shops with a 30-day return policy and pick one out that suits your budget. Sleep on your new mattress for 30 days and return it if it doesn't produce the desired results. That's body hacking. Finding the "system" is what intrigues me most about body/fitness hacking (and hacking/technology in general)
