Reddit mentions of Your Personal Paleo Code: The 3-Step Plan to Lose Weight, Reverse Disease, and Stay Fit and Healthy for Life

I strongly recommend http://www.santacruzstrength.com. Here is how I would approach this path.

1st layer: Increase your ‘movement baseline’ — that means walking 10,000 steps per day, doing challenges like the 30/30 squat challenge and the 7/30 hanging challenge, stretching/limbering all the time. Use this YouTube playlist I’ve made for my personal training clients. Go on explorative walks and hikes in the outdoors.

2nd layer: Begin a structured strength & conditioning program using elementary gymnastics/calisthenics mixed with barbell training and high-intensity conditioning efforts such as hill sprints. Do this about 3x per week. (good coaching is absolutely imperative for this stuff. Go to Santa Cruz Strength linked above and they will set you up).

3rd layer: Develop a movement practice/hobby. Take a few months to attend 3-4 weeks of classes or focused practice in any movement modalities that have low injury risk and are practical for daily life, for example: brazilian jiu jitsu or MMA (http://kaijinmma.com or http://claudiofrancabjj-santacruz.com), dance of any kind, rock climbing (http://pacificedgeclimbinggym.com), and on and on... give stuff a chance, be in the moment and embrace the fact that you will suck for a while but practice pays off and things become fun.

Zero'th layer: Dial in your nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle/stress-recovery. The single best place to start is here: http://www.amazon.com/Your-Personal-Paleo-Code-Reverse/dp/031632289X and the author’s website http://chriskresser.com

Finally — enjoy the process, be in the moment. Track progress if that motivates you but put too much focus on metrics, go by how things feel and use your intuition (evaluate before, during, and after every single action, was this beneficial/skillful, and be pliant/agile/mindful enough to ruthlessly adjust). My favorite single resource for ‘getting your mind right’ is http://www.dhammatalks.org/mp3_index.html

You are lucky to be in Santa Cruz while embarking on the health and fitness journey. I think it’s a place that can foster this kind of transformation like few others. Let me know if you have any questions about the above-mentioned, I’ll be happy to offer further suggestions or clarifications based on more specific details about your situation
