Exercise

“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.”  ~ Edward Stanley


I have to continue to stress the importance of exercise.  We all make excuses for not exercising, yet we make time for things that, in my opinion, are less important.  I think because our bodies function so perfectly when we are young, we think we can continue to do the same things as we grow older.  I like to compare it to having a used car versus a new car.  The new car only needs oil changes, however, the old car needs much more maintenance.  Nothing breaks down on a new car, but an old car, anything may happen.  Same goes with your body.  If you do not use the muscles in your body, eventually they will begin to atrophy.  Everyone should be doing things to exercise your heart as well as all the other muscles in the body.  The more lean body muscle you possess, the more efficiently your body will run.  It is like having a well oiled machine versus one that is not maintained properly.
Please do not discount the importance of exercise.  The truth is that you will certainly have to find time for illness later if you do not make time for exercise today.  It is the single most important thing you can do for yourself.


Have a great day.......BE YOUR BEST SELF!!!!!!!
