Now you're thinking about ways to improve your nutrition. Another piece to this pie is your fitness. Now, this isn't a weight loss, let's see results type of lecture. This is aimed purely for those who are struggling with a cocaine addiction, a way to get your body to a healthy and normal state. If you're already pretty active, then you'll just need to make sure you're active enough and doing the right types of physical activity. If you're not very active or don't currently exercise at all, don't worry, that's normal, especially when dealing with a cocaine addiction.

So where do you start then? To begin with starting today, recognize where you're at with your fitness? How much do you really walk? How many hours per day are you keeping your body moving? I recommend keeping a journal and just noting down where you're starting from. The next thing you'll want to do is establish some goals.

You may have already been thinking of fitness goals, and if you have that's wonderful. If not, no worries. I'm here to help. Some people need a jumpstart because they feel lost when thinking about fitness or goals. And if that's the case, I highly recommend a fitness program of some sort. It can be an at home workout program.

It can be a program through your local gym. Or maybe you join a fitness class like CrossFit or Zumba. Maybe researched some fitness apps and try one out that sounds interesting to you. Now is the time to try something you've always wanted to try. Make the investment This is your health your body and you deserve to do this. Typically by joining a program, there are ways for you to set some fitness goals.

If you're not into a programmer signing up for one, that's okay too. However, you need to start tracking your fitness to make sure that you're not complacent for you to obtain the best possible outcome. You need fitness in your life. If you have a fitness tracker that's ideal as you can set goals through there whether it's more steps throughout the day. longer runs, longer walks, so on. But most importantly is that you set goals to increase your fitness every single week.

For example, let's say this week, your goal is to just get up and move every day. That's a great goal. Whether it's walking, running, biking, do it every day. Then maybe next week, you add some push ups or sit ups or maybe you walk or run a little further. However you do this. Just make sure you're taking your physical self seriously.

You need optimal nutrition, fitness and sleep in order to achieve your sobriety and recovery goals. Speaking of sleep, let's jump right into that. See in the next lecture.
