DIA Blog 019 - Living Life With Rocks In Your Shoes by H8R

Image
by H8R You know that feeling right? You're moving along through your day, walking down the road or getting in some exercise. Then, BOOM ! It hits you. That sharp, nagging pain of a rock deeply embedded in your shoe right between the insole and the delicate parts of your foot. It's the worst! So, what do you do?

When life gets you down, it's best to get moving! Exercise has been shown to provide many benefits for your physical and mental health including a better mood and sustained energy throughout the day. If you can consistently stick to a fitness plan, you'll find that other parts of your life start to ...

by H8R So you've decided to get into better shape, right? Good for you! Now where do you start? A lot of people will go and shell out a ton of money to join a fancy gym with nice amenities that you'd never use. Some gyms in Japan can cost up to $100 a month! My advice is to skip the gym and either workout in your house or outside! Aside from the money you'll save by not having to pay for a gym membership, you can also save some time in your day by not having to commute to and from the gym. In today's post, I'll outline a SMART and SIMPLE workout plan that ANYONE can do almost ANYWHERE . Three types of workouts For my workout, I generally have 3 different types of workouts.
