Hey guys, what’s going on? Chris Sajnog here, author of Navy SEAL Shooting. In this post, I want to tell you about the importance of diet and exercise and why these are vital components<\/em> of learning any skill.<\/strong> Now, let’s go ahead and get started.<\/p>\n

A common question that I get is, \u201cWhy did I put a chapter about diet and exercise in a book about shooting?\u201d The reason is, it’s because I am not just teaching you how to pull a trigger or how to hold a gun, I am teaching you to <\/span>become a warrior<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

M.E.D.S<\/h4>\n

I want to teach you today why it’s critical that you need think about your <\/span>diet<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>get proper exercise every single day.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I’ve come up with a system in which all you need to do is <\/span>take your meds<\/b>. But before you rush off to the pharmacy, when I say meds, I mean:<\/span><\/p>\n

So let’s break each one of those down very quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meditation<\/h4>\n

Alright, so first up in the importance of diet and exercise is meditation.<\/strong> Meditation is simply like <\/span>defragging the hard drive<\/span><\/i> if your brain is a computer. I’m not going to get too much into it here in this post because if you’ve watched any of my other videos or read any of my posts, you know that I talk and teach a lot about meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exercise<\/h4>\n

Next up is exercise. You just need to get the <\/span>blood flowing every day<\/span><\/i>. I just tell people to<\/span> sweat every day<\/b>, you don’t need a big plan. One thing that I think is one of the best ideas that you can do is just <\/span>go mountain running<\/span><\/i> every single day. You’re gonna see <\/span>dramatic results<\/b> in you’re shooting and everything else that you want to learn and do in your life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Diet<\/h4>\n

When it comes to the D, it\u2019s for diet. <\/span>Diet is critical<\/b>. You need to be eating<\/span> healthy fats<\/span><\/i>. Healthy fats are what’s going to <\/span>build your neural pathways.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They used to teach us that fats were bad, but if God made that fat, then that <\/span>fat is good<\/span><\/i>. Eat as much as you want. But do not eat any vegetable oils or sugar. Avoid both of those things like the plague, and you’re going to be <\/span>a lot healthier<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sleep<\/h4>\n

The S stands for sleep. We all need about<\/span> eight and a half hours of sleep<\/b> every night. There are people out there saying, \u201cI don’t need that much. I can work all night and I just need like four hours sleep and I’m good.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, the problem is the reason you need to work so long is that you’re <\/span>not getting enough sleep<\/span><\/i>. There are <\/span>so many studies<\/span><\/i> out there proving this is right.\u00a0 Just please make sure that you’re getting eight and a half hours and it’s literally going to <\/span>help you shoot better.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Alright, so that is it for today about the importance of diet and exercise in learning how to shoot<\/em>.<\/strong> I hope you start taking your meds, and I hope it helps you keep paving your <\/span>path to perfection.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
