Hirotaka Hikoi

I hope to inspire people by providing them useful information and tips related to exercise/fitness/nutrition for healthy living, cancer prevention and survivorship. Also, as a 25-year seasoned ironman triathlete, I will organize “Japan for LIVESTRONG” events in Kanagawa and other places. These could be my biggest way to thank those people who always inspire me to LIVESTRONG.

My 10 Running Principles

Hi All! I have written a list of my top 10 running principles. I think anyone from the walker looking to get into running to the more competitive runner who wants to run faster can use any of these principles to guide their training.

MyPromise28

MyPromise28 is an individual promise to yourself and others around you to take action and make a healthy change in your life for 28 days or more. Examples could be starting any good habit such as walking every day or giving up a bad habit such as smoking for 28 days or more or forever!

In the last 10 years I have turned my life around by living according to my mottos: “You can make your dreams come true if you do not give up” and “You cannot make your dreams come true by yourself”. Now I am much more active and able to take on more difficult challenges in life. I have discovered true happiness and a smile has come back to my face.I have also outlived my mother, and by getting to know about Japan for LIVESTRONG, I feel fate has lead me to JPLS.

Welcome to Healthy Living!

To me, health is more than eating right and exercising. It is also about getting proper sleep, developing a positive mindset, cultivating your personal relationships, strengthening your social connections and creating a lifestyle that enables you to live more fully and more happily.
