Taking all the training, nutrition, recovery, other health topics and making them practical for you.
Hey. What's up, everybody? I just wanted to hop on here real quick for a short video and a a little rift for you. I just I just finished reading a chapter of a book for about forty minutes, and I was sitting on the assault bike that entire time. And it just made me think of, man, it could be helpful to put something out there for habit stacking.
Caleb:So what what is habit stacking? It's it really it's stacking habits or you can call it multitasking, I guess. Doing stacking things that all work together, and you just need to work towards, multiple one or multiple of your goals, wherever that may be. And so what I just did was, like, I want to read. I want to be gaining knowledge and challenging my thinking and developing the way that I frame things, so that I can be a better person and a better professional.
Caleb:While at the same time, I want to take care of my physical body and improve my fitness over the long term, maintain that really well so I can have a high standard of athleticism and health, and I can contribute to society with the knowledge that I have. And so I'm stacking habits there of health and of knowledge and learning and development. And so that's just really cool, to be able to do that. So but that's, like, considering a, you know, broader view is, like, how can you stack behaviors and habits that will help you over the long term? What's going to be something that, or multiple things that you can do in unison together?
Caleb:It could be, like, while you cook, you listen to a podcast or an audiobook. I love doing that. It's another way of habit stacking. It could be using a standing desk while you work. So those two examples would be, man, listening to a podcast or music or something while you're cooking your that means you're preparing a meal for yourself while you're stimulating your mind with a book or an audiobook or a podcast or even just relaxing your mind with some music that you like to listen to.
Caleb:Using a standing desk is getting you up and moving. It stimulates some automatic movement, which is awesome, because you you get to have that movement, and and getting your hips into extension while also doing what other work you have to do while you're at that standing desk. You're going to change positions multiple times so you can stay comfortable. So it's awesome. You can even stack another habit in there by throwing a ball underneath your foot to massage your feet or something like that Or to do some type of tissue development to help make sure your tissues are healthy and ready to go for your next walk or run or something like that.
Caleb:So you're removing some of that stiffness. So these are just a few examples of habit stacking. So I want to give you a short little riff on that. I encourage you to consider what are some healthy habits you can do that get you physically active while also meeting other goals or to dos that you have to do in our busy lives. Stacking things like this helps us get more done in the same amount of time while also helping us be the people that we want to be.
