Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

2 years ago ai became overweight and metabolically unhealthy due to covid and parenthood.

Today all my biomarkers are optimal range, my cardio fitness is in the 80th percentile in my age group, dead hang close to 80 seconds, and deadlift 1.5x body weight.

I want to share some things I learned in the last 2 years.

For me personally, a healthy diet was the most important tool to lose weight. But to improve my biomakers and feel energetic every day, exercise and sleep have been far more potent.

This is probably the single most important lesson.

Being a former college athlete and being in sports (working out) all my life ,  I have slowly found out that diet is nearly everything... Especially fasting ! Plus looking at food as simply fuel ..a novel concept for me...
