Manage your stress levels with this tool

The stress bucket concept changed how I manage stress in my life. Imagine your stress levels as a bucket that fills up with various stressors throughout the day: work, finances, relationships, and more. The space left in the bucket represents your resilience, the buffer between wellness and sickness. When the bucket overflows, it means you're overwhelmed, leading to negative impacts on your health and performance.

3 Reasons Why Lifting Beats Cardio for Fat Loss

Cardio is not the holy grail of fat loss. (Trust me, I used to spend hours doing exhausting cardio sessions, without getting the physique that I wanted… ) Yes cardio burns calories, but: * burning calories does not mean losing fat * you are actually “burning” WAY less calories than you think The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you eat. Cardio helps, but only if you’re also eating less. And you don’t want to lose muscle, you want to lose fat… You can’t lose much fat with cardio alone if you’re not watching your diet AND lifting weights.
