Get moving!
# Chapter 279
Elements of a successful life: prepare emotionally – focus mentally/intellectually – execute physically (health/exercise) – eat rationally – schedule logically. - Masterminds
Part three, execute physically. Last night I was with a client who struggles to move. His job is standing on his feet all day and not moving very much. Factor number three is that he is married to a gourmet cook. Results? You guessed it, he is a heavy man. And he is close to my age and maintaining your weight gets harder as you age, as does everything it seem. On the other hand, a woman I graduated from high school with, is running a 100 miles ultra marathon yesterday and today!! What a way to celebrate your 60th year! I replay these contrasts to show what is typical versus what is possible and this just from my small network of people.
You experience your entire life in this one body that you have. It is the only one you have or will get in this life. For some that will mean partying as much as you can manage, and for others it will mean pushing it to the limits of stress and endurance. But you get to choose how much you weigh, how much exercise you do, how healthy you are - you make those precise choices everyday and your results are looking you in the mirror. Don’t like the results? Change the daily actions. Get moving no matter what you do! The worst thing you can do to your body is not use it. This is a critical part of a successful life, it will make every other part more enjoyable!
