We all have the possibility of living a fulfilling, healthy and happy life. We<br />
were gifted an amazing, functional body when we were born, with no<br />
aches, pains, injuries or ailments. It is the only body you will ever own –<br />
so why when we reach our 30’s, 40’s, 50’s etc, do we allow ourselves to<br />
slow down, get a bit lazier, gain excess weight and not treat our bodies<br />
the same way we used to?<br />
Now, every year that goes by most of us put off the task of losing the<br />
excess weight, getting fi tter and stronger and living the healthier, happier<br />
life that you really want. Then, with every year that you delay starting<br />
it becomes harder, and a seemingly impossible task. The reality is,<br />
pressures of life do take over and we all are guilty of living only in the<br />
present with all the stresses and strains that brings, with work, family,<br />
lack of time, etc. Not many think too far into the future as to how doing<br />
something now can change how it will be.<br />
The hard truth is, things won’t be any different next Monday, next month<br />
or even next year unless you start to act now. If you don’t like the<br />
way you look and feel, think about how you felt this morning, how you<br />
look in your clothes, how confident you are in the outside world and<br />
the level of energy you have every day. However tough that might be,<br />
the truth is that it is essentially your health/training/nutrition that really<br />
determines how you will live in the future. The workouts you do today<br />
help in determining the quality of life you (and your family) will have 10<br />
years from today.<br />
It isn’t about getting in shape in 21 days for the summer, nor is it about a 4<br />
week detox before Christmas; real fitness is about laying the foundation<br />
now for a quality life in the years<br />
to follow. Don’t keep putting it off,<br />
because every day that you wait<br />
makes your chance of fi nding your<br />
way back even harder.<br />
