Energy and Stamina Hacks

Let’s take a look at some of the energy and stamina hacks you can use and then we will develop an action plan to follow.

Exercise Hourly

I use a version of the Pomodoro Technique for physical exercise. Simply use a timer on your watch or phone, set the timer for every 30 or 60 minutes, then exercise.

I have adapted my routine to look like this: 10 times a day – 80 push-ups, plank for 60 seconds, 40 curls. This is the best way to get your blood circulating and kickstart your metabolism every morning. Don’t forget to exercise while you travel… yes, be the weird person at the airport doing push-ups.

Run

The best form of exercise is to simply run. Run early in the morning. It is amazing what benefits this will bring. It will also bring about something called Neurogenesis.

Planking

If you only do one form of exercise (outside of running) this is the one you should do.

Practice Deep Breathing

You must get quality sleep in order to stay awake longer and have more energy.

Use the following 4-7-8 Breathing Technique: Sit with your back straight, place the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth (upper), inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth. Make sure you exhale completely, then close your eyes. Hold your breath for a count of 7, exhale through your mouth for a count of 8, then repeat the cycle three more times for a total of 4 breaths.

Two additional techniques are The Stimulating Breath and Breath Counting.

Stand While You Work

If I have to work in an office or the dreaded cubicle, I always stand. Purchase a standing workstation and refuse to sit down!

Improve Your Posture.

Most people have horrible posture. I found an increase in energy and stamina by simply practicing and using techniques to improve my posture. Doing this forces us to be alert and active.

Nootropic

Otherwise known as smart drugs, these are cognitive enhancing supplements that improve memory, motivation, creativity, and performance. Some of the best Nootropics come from the Racetam family, such as: Aniracetam and Piracetam.

Vitamin B-12

This is the perfect vitamin to take if you are looking for a vitamin to take to boost your metabolism or provide an instant energy boost.

Drink Bulletproof Coffee

This is what I call Super Coffee! Bulletproof coffee is a high-performance drink that greatly boosts the energy and cognitive function. It’s easy to make, find out how to make it here.

Drink More Water

Drinking water will instantly give you more energy. In fact, you will feel drained and fatigued if you are dehydrated.

Intermittent Fasting

When we fast, our bodies metabolic shift lowers our leptin levels. Calorie-restriction brings about a process called autophagy, which cleans house and removes waste. It also enhances our brain cells and improves cognitive function.

There are many different ways to do this, let’s look at the 16-hour Fast: stop eating around 7-8pm. Wait until 12pm the next day to begin eating again.

Stop Worrying So Much.

Stop worrying about things that do not matter. If you worry about too many things or try to spend your day pleasing everyone else but yourself, then you will lose energy. You will fail to get sleep and you will spend your entire day with low stamina. Why waste energy worrying when you could use the same energy to visualize success?

Take a Cold Shower

If you find it hard to wake up or you simply need an immediate energy boost then take a cold shower.

Get a Theme Song

Listening to music will provide you an instant energy boost. Try creating playlists for each mood you would like to put yourself in. Apple Music is a perfect place to start.

Go Outside.

You will be amazed at the energy boost by simply going outside.

Chew Gum

For me, chewing Big Red gum provides me an instant energy boost and an increase in focus. Just make sure to smack your gum when you are around your spouse! They will love it!

So, how can you put this all together?
