Is Exercising A Top Priority for Me?

When you’re trying to get healthier, the gym is usually the first stop. Nick Kuhle, a holistic lifestyle and corrective exercise coach, sees it differently.

Long hours behind the wheel and irregular sleep already put plenty of strain on the body, and a hard workout piles on more. He’s seen clients lose more weight by eating whole foods, drinking half their body weight in ounces of water each day, and sleeping eight hours than others who trained five to seven days a week. His advice is to get those basics in place first.

Kuhle uses a simple green, yellow, or red rating to show how much stress your body is carrying and what kind of exercise fits.

Green means you’re good to train however you like. Yellow calls for a controlled pace, where you can still breathe through your nose. Red means keeping it gentle with walking, stretching, or breathwork.
