Getting adequate good quality sleep is the first place to start. Track your sleep, maintain low sleep debt.
Intermittent fasting helps with a lot many things, portion control, snacking, insulin sensitivity, mental clarity.
Resistance training is essential. I go to the gym and play around with weights. Having a personal trainer makes a huge difference here. I go first thing in the morning 5 days a week. Either that or I don’t go. Early morning workout also makes me feel like the rest of my day is easier in comparison to the literal heavy lifting I’ve started my day with.
For cardio, you want some kind of explosive high intensity workouts and some sustained medium intensity ones. Resting heart rate is a decent way to measure your improvements here and I’ve noticed that the higher my heart rate goes during workouts, the lower it goes during rest.
- slow_typist 2y agoAny idea how low resting rates can go? And is it always a good thing or can it be too low?

Outside that range (above or below) is a potential health concern, but if you're physically fit a resting heart rate below 60 is not an immediate cause for concern. 40-60 can be a normal resting heart rate for physically fit individuals. You can always contact your doctor if you're concerned about it. I mostly know these numbers because my resting heart rate was down to 45 for a few years and I did talk to my doctor about it.
