TrueMan McGee turned a spring roll into a fitness tool. Now it’s a business with aspirations to bolster a community in need.
1.
HAVE THREE go-to healthy meals for when life gets hectic. Hit all the right areas: greens and colors, lean proteins. “I’ll eat one buffalo and kale spring roll, and make a strawberry avocado cashew salad,” says McGee.
2.
BE CREATIVE. Find ways to put healthy twists on traditionally unhealthy meals.
“When I make burgers, they’re usually turkey, and I’m [adding] spinach, avocado, mushrooms. Find times when you’re OK replacing meats with things like portobello mushrooms and zucchini,” he says.
3.
10 MINUTES is all you need for a workout. Find time to invest in yourself: “See how many pushups you can do, or squats. When I was training, we used to do 10 minutes of burpees, and it feels like you’ve been working for an hour.”
4.
LOW-IMPACT exercise can have long-term results. Take the stairs, walk, mow the lawn. It’s like saving pennies: Do it long enough and it’ll pay off.
