It's go time !
30-Day COVID-19 Coach Brad Challenge
I wanted to pass on some important information that has nothing to do with sports, but everything to do with your immune system and overall ability to stay healthy.
So with COVIR-19 everyone is praying for a vaccine to come to market as quickly as possible, I can assure you that it will take some time. The reality is, even once it does come out, there will be brand new strains and viruses that will continue to emerge.
Rather than racing out to buy some toilet paper, I wanted to provide you with some very simple and very real things you can start doing today to start building up your defence systems and start safe-guarding you and your family.
Before we start with the challenge, I'd like you to listen to a short Ted Talk with Dr. Matt Walker (brilliant man) to understand exactly why this matters to you and your family;

Ok - now that you've watched the video, we are ready to get started - there are only 5 simple things that I am going to challenge you to do over the next 30 days;
----------
1. Sleep 8 hours a night; Set up your night so that you and your family members get a solid 8 hours of sleep each night. This is not a suggestion or recommendation, it's critical so do it.
2. Fuel yourself properly - and do it before 8pm; Drink a lot of water, eat real food, stay away from simple sugars as best you can, and try to eliminate eating, alcohol, or caffeine after 8pm. The later you eat, the more energy your body has to spend digesting your food and the less it has for repairing or building up your immune system.
3. Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day - even if it's just walking, find a way to get moving and your blood pumping to remove the toxins and garbage from your body.
4. Read, review or journal 20-30 min before going to bed. Keep your electronics out of your bedroom - it'll help you put your mind at rest and set the stage for a much better sleep.
5. Smile and be a source of positive energy.
Start the day by asking yourself 3 questions;
1. How can I make things better for my community?
2. How can I make things better for my family/friends?
3. How can I make myself better?
Be positive with yourself and those around you. Not sure if you know this but no one likes a whiner or cares about your problems, it drains peoples energy so please change your focus and look for ways to empower others, not deflate them.
-----------
In closing, we certainly can't disregard the seriousness or magnitude of this virus, and we know that even doing all of this does not mean you will not get sick or die at any given moment, however, rather than sitting back and thinking that we can't do anything to reduce the risks, we need to be proactive.
You can take this time to significantly improve the quality of your life and safeguard yourself and your family to better handle the challenges ahead. Take the negative and turn it into a positive.
I'm sure even if you are not a scientist you realize that toilet paper is not the solution - you are the solution; so get off your butt and start doing something about it.
Hit me up on our Facebook and let me know how long you can last - can you even make it 30-days??!!!!
Be strong, be safe, be the solution.
Coach Brad.
