Taking care of your fitness will impact every aspect of your life!
I honestly am shocked so few people actually try to be fit!
Did you know? Less than 5% of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day;2 only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week.3
How can anyone have a good quality of life when they have no energy, no ability to do leisure activities, bad health, heart disease, low back pain, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, etc….??
- Recent reports project that by 2030, half of all adults (115 million adults) in the United States will be obese.12
How can you feel confident to face life’s challenges or an emergency situation when you are totally physically incapable to do anything and are out of shape?
Optimal fitness and health is not just about the physical side of it (i.e.how fast you can run a mile), it also encompass your mental, social, emotional and spiritual fitness.
Fitness impacts ALL of your Quality of Life, Being Fit allows you to:
- work effectively
- enjoy leisure time
- be healthy
- resist hypokinetic diseases (heart disease, obesity, diabetes, low back pain, etc.)
- meet emergency situations

What to do? Where to start? Or should I be asking, HOW do you start?
You start in you brain! That’s right, a fitness lifestyle starts with your belief that you will be better if you invest time into your fitness. If you don’t believe that, then you are a lost cause. Exercise is not about burning a certain number of calories or losing weight, it is about changing every cell in your body in a positive way. Just 30 mins of extra activity a day will change how every cell in your body works! You may not notice any difference on the scale but you will notice more mental clarity, more physical ability, more emotional stability, more confidence, etc….Once you get that, you can attack bigger fitness goals like incorporating more of the 11 Components of Fitness into your life.
