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
Habits focused on the health of your mind and body are super important when it comes to performing at your peak. These are the basics that I stick to.
Healthy Body:
Intermittent fasting, eat clean (mostly plants), 8 hr sleep, high intensity resistance training 3x/week, drink 100oz water daily
Healthy Mind:
10 min daily meditation, time box social media consumption (brain candy time), read long form (feed the mind)
I built wombo.io to help me stick to my habit system.
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.

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!
