💡3 options for this week's challenge

12d • Stroke Prevention Tips

This is week’s challenge is to choose one of 3 things that “future you” will thank you for.

Pick one of:

1️⃣ Do one short burst of intensity

Not a full workout. Not a huge time commitment.

Just one moment in your week where you push a bit harder than usual:

Brisk walk up a hill

Climb a few flights of stairs

Short fast-paced walk

Only if your at a place in your recovery where this is safe.

💡 Why this matters:

Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂ max) is one of the strongest predictors of survival we have. Even small doses of intensity can move the needle and significantly reduce stroke risk.

2️⃣ Check something you’ve been avoiding

Be honest—there’s probably something you know you should check but haven’t. The longer you put it off the more it's slowly eating away at your health.

This week, pick one:

Blood pressure

Weight or waist circumference

Step count / activity levels

Cholesterol

Track your meals

💡 Why this matters:

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

Most stroke risk builds silently—knowing your baseline is step one.

3️⃣ Go to bed 30 minutes earlier (twice this week)

Just twice!
