I am thankful every single day that 14 years ago i got way out of my comfort zone and joined a gym. I was sick of my own excuses. I decided that I no longer wanted to be overweight,lethargic, unhappy and unhealthy. You only live once, and I wanted to feel good about myself. I wanted to be energetic and healthy to be able to give my children a good life and to be around for a very long time.
I hear so often that everything goes down hill from 40! You start to get aches and pains, you gain weight, etc etc. I highly disagree with this opinion. I’m 41 and I am continually getting fitter and stronger each week. How ? Because of the lifestyle choices I make. I choose to lift heavy weights daily , I choose to do cardiovascular exercises daily, I choose to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps daily, I choose to eat a well balanced diet full of Protein, Carbohydrates, Good Fats and plenty of micro nutrients and I choose to have the discipline to do all of these things even on the days I don’t want to. It may sound hard! But I can tell you it’s much harder being overweight, being unhappy, having medical problems, being lazy and having no energy for my children , and not being fit enough to do all the things I want to do each day.
As you’re watching this video you might be thinking but I can’t do any of that stuff. And you are right, you can’t. But neither could I when I first started. But this didn’t stop me from starting. You just have to start. Exercise is like everything else in life, it’s a skill. And the more you practice that skill the better you get at it and In return you start noticing results.
Its never to late to start! It’s never too late to change your habits and make the choice to start living a healthy lifestyle ! Your body will always respond positively to exercise. It’s not easy to begin with but I promise you that you will definitely not regret it.
I practise daily what I preach ! And I actively try every day to promote the benefits of exercise to anyone that will listen to me !
Don’t wait until Monday! Go for a walk today. Start to incorporate a few small new healthy habits and master those. Slowly add more and more and before you know it all the small changes start to add up to big changes 😁
