“You train best when you’re the happiest," some conditions apply

Recently someone shared a quote with me that said, “You train best when you’re the happiest.” This is true but some other conditions apply to make this happen. For example, if your sleep deprived and food deprived, your exercise routine won’t be as great. In our busy day and age and overly committed lifestyles, it’s sometimes hard to get 8 hours of sleep a night. Researchers are now saying 7-8 hours of sleep is adequate and men have a tendency to need closer to 8 hours or more. In addition, skipping meals is not going to work if you plan on doing some vigorous exercise or any activity for that matter. When you skip meals you deprive your body of much needed energy to get through not only your exercise routine but also through the day; without having an emotional or medical breakdown. The solution to get though your “skipping meals dilemma” is just to not skip meals. Not only do you burn more calories at a consistent rate but your happier, have more energy and have a better workout. Keep in mind that the food choices you make will also make or break you for the day, so be smart and have a happy healthy day.
