Only lifting weights is a huge mistake.

• Walk
• Swim
• Stretch
• Play sports
• Jog or sprint

You are a human, not an action figure.

Being outside for the sunrise is good,

But even better to “view the sunrise”.

When you get red light on the retina of your eye,

Your brain is cued to start your day.
