Big Takeaways
Stress reduction is everything. Exercise alone does not have anything to do with losing weight.
The 7 Daily Primal Needs
1. Consciously breathe - Slow, deep, rhythmic core breathing
2. Hydrate - Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water every day - minimum
3. Sleep - quality and quantity. 7-9 hours per night (sleep will help balance your hormones!)
4. Eat - Hight quality foods. Plan & Prepare. Chew. Know your body.
5. Love - Connect with those that fill you up. Server others. Live from the heart, not the mind.
6. Growth - Constant and never-ending improvement and personal development. Get a coach to help you!
7. Movement - 30 minutes per day, mimiimum! When you work out, you ask more of your physiology. Be aware of your posture too.
With your in-home/virtual workouts, create a nice environment for yourself. Find joy in your workout space! Brien also encourages his trainees to use a heart rate monitor.
