The three best habits to start TODAY

 

The three best habits to start today are: meditation, Exercise and Reading

Obviously there are lots of other habits which will improve you, but in my opinion these should be your top priorities
1. Meditation - There are loads of benefits of meditation, these include:
Improved focus 
Improved anxiety/depression and just general mental health 
Stress reduction
Increases presence and calmness
Helps regulate mood
All you need to do to start is 5 minutes a day. Simply sit down in a quiet and dark room, close your eyes and focus on your deep breathing. Don't worry if thoughts come in, just observe the thoughts. You can eventually move onto to 10.15 or even 20 minutes in the future. If you want further guidance, Medito is a great app which you can download for free.

2. Exercise - Exercise is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, and you may already be doing some. There are also lots of benefits to exercise as well, such as:
Reduces chances of major illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and cancer
Reduces anxiety, depression and stress
Improves mental health
Strengthens muscles
Improves sleep
A good target is 20 minutes a day. This could be anything, a sport you enjoy, a run, a bike ride, anything to get you moving. I would recommend doing this outside as its very important to get out in nature to improve your mental health.

3. Reading - The third habit on this list is reading, like the first two reading has great benefits, here are a few:
Vocabulary expansions 
Knowledge enhancement
Improves your memory
Improves concentration
Better analytical thinking skills
Try for 30 minutes a day of reading. Fiction or Non fiction are both good but if you want a good reading list about self improvement here's a good book on the topic of self improvement and habits: Atomic Habits

STOP WASTING TIME! (And how to stop wasting time)

The average person has a screen time of 7 hours a day! 7 hours spent on Tiktok, YouTube, Instagram, gaming and lots more. That's 7 hours of time which could be spent to do better things. Imagine if you took away just one of those hours each day to do something productive. That's 365 hours a year! What if you took away 2,3 or even all of that time. Quickly you would be racking up thousands of hours on something which improves you. Now I'm not saying screens are bad, in fact, they can be an incredibly useful tool for lots of things in life. You can start an online business or find helpful advice for practically anything. But there are also lots of unhelpful things on screens.  There are so many other reasons to stop wasting time on useless things - Improved mental health  - Improved happiness - More time to do the things you really want to do  - Thinking clearer and sharper - Improved physical healthy - Better self esteem - Increased productivity And lots more How can we stop

A complete guide on how to build muscle with dumbbells

 Dumbbells are great, and you can get a very good workout in with just a couple of pairs. In my opinion, getting adjustable dumbbells are much better than normal dumbbells, as it is much cheaper, and require far less space. Here is a link to the dumbbells I use, which are £40.  Yaheetech 30KG Adjustable Weight Dumbbells 15KGx2 Dumbbells Set (sold as a pair) Home Gym Fitness Dumbbell Set for Lifting Training : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors . In my opinion, if you can't get a pair of adjustable dumbbells, or don't have lots of different weights, then I would just do callisthenics, or mix the two, as getting in a full, challenging workout and training to failure with a few dumbbells will be difficult. Many people will ask, what split should I choose? What is the optimal amount of sets or reps? What is the BEST exercise? How many days a week should I train? It doesn't matter. I will go over a complete guide but you can optimize it for you, it's about what works for yo

 Gym rings are one of the best pieces of equipment and you can easily get in a full-body workout with just these. They are particularly useful for pulling movements also. Many people will ask, what split should I choose? What is the optimal amount of sets or reps? What is the BEST exercise? How many days a week should I train? It doesn't matter. I will go over a complete guide but you can optimize it for you, it's about what works for you. "But I can only train 1 day per week," Then train 1 day per week."But I don't know what to do." Then listen. "But I don't know what the BEST exercise is." Doesn't matter.  If you are a new lifter then as long as you are doing a few basic rules (Which I will outline in this post), eating a good diet, and training hard, you WILL gain muscle. This is a more callisthenics-based workout and callisthenics is just training with your own body weight. We are going to split these workouts into Push, pull, and l
