What Healthy Living Actually Looks Like (At Least for Me)

I hear this question a lot — what exactly is healthy living?
Is it six-pack abs?

If yes, I’m out. I don’t have one.
But I do work out. And more importantly, I live well.

Here’s what healthy living means to me: no extremes, no drama.

  • Getting 7–8 hours of sleep most days
  • Drinking 4+ litres of water without obsessing
  • Getting sunlight soon after waking up — simple, free, powerful
  • Keeping caffeine to a minimum
  • Walking as much as possible — 10k+ steps is my baseline
  • Protein in every meal
    • Eggs for breakfast
    • Chicken or fish for lunch and dinner

Yes, I eat out.
Yes, I enjoy it.
I just keep portions in control and don’t do it daily.

I’ve also ditched fitness trackers. No rings to close, no numbers to chase. I listen to my body more than my wrist.

When it comes to snacks, I don’t stress.
Mostly real food. Sometimes a protein bar. That’s fine.

Now, about workouts — I train regularly around 5 days a week, and that’s the only rule.

Leg Day.
Chest & Shoulders.
Arms Day.

No “perfect” split. No magic routine.
Just show up and lift, which is pretty much what I share on my Lift with Suman channel.

And here’s the part most people miss 👇
Fitness follows the 80:20 rule.

  • 20% → workouts and activity
  • 80% → diet, sleep, hydration, steps, stress, habits

If you don’t fix the 80, the 20 won’t save you.

Make this a lifestyle, not a phase.
There’s no secret hack.
No shortcut.

Just boring, beautiful consistency — and the results will show.
