Avoiding afternoon tiredness
All my life I have had issues falling a sleep combined with ferocious afternoon tiredness. I think it stems from me trying to be “cool” as a child and stay awake with the adults. I fought hard and became quite good at it. Now I reap the benefits… It is not like I always have…

Training for adults
One of the differences between children and adults is responsibilities. Part of growing up is learning that your actions bears consequences and that you are accountable for them. This can be a difficult realization and once in a while we probably all wish for it not to be true. But apart from keeping us from…

The main benefit of walking
Walking is the one thing that we should all do more of. We can discuss optimal training programs for elite athletes, weight loss for overweight individuals or conditioning for people doing endurance sport. But the one thing that should be common denominator across all is more focus on walking.

Don’t have enough time? How to live on 24 hours a day
Lots have been written and said about time-management and optimization of each day lived. It is probably one of the most popular topics to write about. This probably also means that this piece I am writing right now, will be lost in the vast blue sea of self-help blog-posts. But that is okay. The book…

Why intermittent fasting isn’t for you
Having done intermittent fasting or IF as it is often shorted for probably close to 5 years I find myself quite capable of listing pros and cons and giving advice on whether it is a good idea or not. You could perhaps think that having followed it for 5 years I would recommend it to…
