Primal At-Home Workout: Core

Gyms all across the world are closed right now. Many of us are stuck at home, unable or unwilling to even get to parks and hiking trails and beaches. We’re all homebodies now, and yet the need for physical activity hasn’t diminished. If anything, it’s more crucial than ever that we stay active and healthy, fit and strong.

Today, we’re going to start with core workouts. I'll give you four exercises, with suggested reps and sets plus ways to make the moves easier or harder.

Should You Track Your Sleep?

On the surface, sleep tracking seems futile and pointless. If there’s anything you should know intuitively without having to measure, it should be whether or not you got a good night’s sleep. You wake up and see how you feel.

But the argument for sleep tracking is more nuanced than that. It’s not just about knowing how well you sleep from night to night. It’s about tracking how your daily actions, behaviors, exercise patterns, light exposure, food timing, and alcohol intake correlate with the quality of your sleep using actual numbers.

Loaded Stuffed Sweet Potato

This is Primal comfort food. A less invovled version of a burger and fries, this is a family-style meal that everyone can customize to suit his or her tastes.

Simply bake the sweet potatoes, brown the meat, and create a toppings bar of burger fixins and Primal-friendly sauces. I'm partial to the new Primal Kitchen® Secret Sauce to top off this loaded spud.
