For me, going to bed early. I know, it may not sound like a major change, but I've always been a night person. Recently, my health has took a turn mainly due to my job. Looking at me, you couldn't tell. I look healthy, but compared to my previous way of life, I feel out of shape. I need to start going to bed early, so I can get up early and go to the gym.

What are some major lifestyle changes that YOU need to make?

217sonatta. sammmmme here. i'm 6'4 and lean. if i get a body, i might actually look pretty decently built and have a shot at gitting some chicks, but until then i'm just a big lank. i'm going to go on a veggie and grain diet for a while. jog some. don't eat before you go to bed or your cholesterol and glucose is stored away in pockets.

plus, lay off the computer. good luck bud.

oh i know! i used to work at 4-star restaurant. they fired staff because i was doing the work of 3 = better for them, better for me. so the owner got me working up to 6 days/week.

Keep with my workout routine. 4 days/week of cardio with spurts of weight lifting.

I need to get away from the weights and focus more on the cardio. Currently:
5 minute bike warm up (1.25 mi.) to raise heart rate.
15 minutes on weight machines
25 minutes on elliptical or ARC trainer at medium to high intensity
10-20 minutes (3-5 mi.) on recumbant bike to cool down and relax

going to bed earlier. i stay up to like 4am when i have to work at 10am. i don't ever feel tired but i know it can't be good for me. i just really don't enjoy sleep, it feels like a major waste of time. i think i need to get myself in the mindset that it's not a waste of time, but essential to my health, just like going to the gym.
