Fitness Tip #7: Get Enough Sleep
This is one of the lessons that I really struggled with over the years. I used to go to bed late and get up so early in the morning that I would only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night. On Top of that I used to workout 6 days a week and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting the results I wanted, had low energy levels, and struggled to focus on daily tasks.
