Being a founder/builder is a lot of work and can take its toll on your health.
What's your strategy for staying healthy?
I'm a walker and can easily crank out 15+ miles a week, eat only plants and hit the gym 3-5x a week.
What's yours?

I am also a walker. I try to hit 30-40 miles a week.
Doing repetitive rhythmic movements (e.g. walking) helps the nervous system relax as the blood circulates around the body at a constant pace.

@iliya_valchanov That will explain why I get my best ideas during my walks. My last walk was 4 hours and I solved 80% of my current problems in just one day.

@adriancole Oh, wow. Maybe I should try walking for longer haha
Be physically active for 30 minutes most days of the week. Eat a well-balanced, low-fat diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

I think it's important to find an activity that makes you move! My favorite is boxing and cycling. I do this in my lunch breaks or after work... (I wish I was hardcore enough to wake up at 5am to do this but I'm not there yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
I also think it's important to keep your mind growing! I love the Headspace app for meditation and am trying to be good about journaling.. Just downloaded Justin Kan's new "Kin" app for developing healthy habits. I am also working on www.getdewwy.com which texts you personal growth/continuous learning articles/videos 3x a week.

Meditating before bed helps me a great deal.

Jogging in the park or hitting the gym. Physical activity does wonders when I want to clear my mind.

I would like to share lockdown story. I was highly overweight before a year. With proper diet and exercise reduced 17kg in 6 months. I feel more energetic and young then ever :)
I lost over 60lbs in the last couple of years and the things that have made the biggest difference for me was experimenting with food programs (I've landed on a lowish carb + high protein) + strength training and cardio that works for me (skipping + peloton + cycling) + and journaling, daily walks and at least 7 hours.
I feel you! Not gonna lie, the app I'm building is keeping me healthy at the moment because I earn trees whenever I am active 💚 it actually encourages me to get up and exercise often!
