What is it going to take? How can I motivate you to be in the best shape of your life? I hope the mere fact that you are worth it serves as good enough reason, but if that doesn’t make you challenge yourself for improved health, then let me pass along a few others.
I often talk about the importance and beauty of the little things in life. It is amazing how the little things add up to be worth so much to us as we age. Spending quality time with spouse and kids, grandparents or friends gives us reason to stay healthy, so we can be around for as long as possible to enjoy them all. They all bring us happiness, and we return joy to them when they see us healthy, active and making the most of life.
This is mushy stuff, but taking a proactive role in trying to improve the well being of yourself, your family and others touches you to the core of your heart. Staying healthy will make everything in your life better. Life is simply a joy! I am thrilled to be able to wake up every morning to the beautiful, warm sun, and you should be too. Every person is special and has something positive to offer to this world. You just never know — today may be the day your courage, smile and vigor inspire someone to make a positive change in life.
Can you feel the love? I am challenging you once again to stay healthy because enjoying your life is worth it. It is worth the effort and discipline of maintaining a nutrition and fitness program that provides the optimal health you and your family need and deserve.
When you look good, feel good and are healthy enough to perform well, chances are high that you will have the strength to physically endure the demands of life. Being in the best shape of your life will bring this type of vibrant energy to your everyday living. I challenge you to live well, enjoy your life, help others and be a positive influence to everyone you come in contact with.
My inspiration comes from honestly feeling like I am doing everything it takes to be in the best shape of my life. Please trust me. You can develop these results and strong feelings too.
I used to simply love being able to get out, enjoy the sun, do yard work and mow the lawn. To be honest, my enjoyment for yard work started to decrease a few years ago. It started to feel like work, instead of something fun that I had always enjoyed doing. I think the normal aging process and other variables like stress and aches had something to do with it, but you know what? I recognized this, accepted my age, made a few adjustments to promote optimal health, prevent atrophy (muscle decrease), promote hypertrophy (muscle increase) and continue to make healthy nutrition choices. I am not going to let it slow me down, and neither should you.
You can do this! If you have started, please continue. It begins by identifying disgust and making a decision to change some things in your life. Your well-deserved quality of life and better health are all you have to lose. The day you quit fighting for your optimal health is the day you start to lose the active lifestyle that can bring you so much joy. And I know you have come too far in this old world to let that happen. Please eat right, get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, exercise at your own pace, take your vitamins and minerals, have regular checkups and work closely with your health care professional.
Until next time, have safe and energetic workouts, and please go out and make it a great fitness day.
