It is full of useful tips, from the items in their gym bags, to the YouTube channels they recommend, to the foods and diets they eat for their health. Let’s follow their advice on how to avoid burnout and put on our sneakers and go outside this spring.

프로야구가 출범한 해에 태어난 나는 극성 야구팬이기도 하고, 공으로 하는 스포츠 대부분을 매우 좋아한다. 테니스와 골프 같은 공을 치는 운동을 예전부터 꾸준히 해오고 있다. 디자인 스튜디오를 운영하면서 불규칙적인 스케줄에 일상이 망가지는 경우가 많아지면서, 늘 새벽운동 스케줄을 잡아 루틴을 만들려고 노력하는 편이다. 20대 때에 잠깐 디자인 작업에 빠져 거의 잠을 자지 않고 작업에만 몰두한 적이 있는데, 문득 이러다가는 오래 살지 못할 것 같다는 생각이 들면서 운동과 숙면에 집중하게 되었다. 가끔씩 남들보다 조금 뒤쳐진다는 기분이 들어도 나만의 속도로 건강하고 행복하게 지내고 싶다.
