Whether you’re gearing up for competitions, overcoming fitness challenges, or just beginning your journey to better health, the following guide is here to support you.
1. Overcome Fear and Fitness Challenges with a Smile
"There are many barriers in fitness, some of which stem from fear or nerves," says Zaid. "Before competing in a new event, I often feel unsure about how to pace myself. However, once I’ve experienced it, I realise it’s manageable.
"For instance, during HYROX, while others focus in their own ways, I find that starting the race with a smile helps me overcome any anxiety or nervousness."
2. Prioritize Recovery with Magnesium Oil and CBD
"Physically, it’s crucial to be kind to yourself. In the past, I would set an alarm and get up even if I hadn’t slept well. Now, I understand that it’s okay to have an off day.
"If I feel a twinge or minor injury coming on, I’ll reduce my workout intensity or take a walk. I use magnesium oil, CBD, cooling bars, and massage guns to aid recovery. Staying hydrated and focusing on nutrition is also key for me."
3. Value Sleep, Sunshine, and Staying Prepared
"To manage effort during workouts, I rely on a good night’s sleep, proper hydration, and balanced nutrition. These factors help me feel refreshed and ready to maintain high heart rate zones during sessions.
"Myzone allows me to monitor how long I stay in the yellow and red zones and track my recovery time. If I finish a session feeling good, I know I was well-prepared."
"If I’m struggling to reach the red zone, it’s a sign I needed more recovery beforehand. Natural remedies like sleep, sunlight, and walking help me stay on track."
4. Embrace an Ultra-Marathon Mindset
"In today’s digital age, it’s easy to feel intimidated by what you see on social media. But remember, fitness, nutrition, and life are like an ultra-marathon.
"No one becomes fit overnight. You need to take action, even small ones. These actions lead to results, which in turn motivate further progress."
5. Develop New Fitness Habits
"They say it takes about three weeks to form a new habit and three months for it to become a lifestyle. As you move through this timeframe, it will shift from something you feel you must do to something you want to do—and you’ll enjoy it."
6. Don’t Let Anything Stop You
"Accountability and ownership are vital in all aspects of life. Don’t let anything prevent you from going for a run, a walk, or lifting weights. If you truly believe in something, you can always find a way. Often, the only thing holding you back is yourself.
"Myzone isn’t just a device that keeps you accountable; it’s a global community of diverse people, not just athletes, who all have something to offer.
"Anyone can use it, and anyone has the right to move their body and track their efforts. Myzone helps with physical fitness, mental health, and stress relief. Those endorphins, especially in the morning, are the best natural remedy for mental health issues and stress.
"Even a simple walk can be a healthier way to manage stress compared to prescription medications."
