Bike

Are you physically capable of taking on every goal you have set for yourself?

How about just taking on the life you have right now?

For instance, can you easily:

  • Carry in the groceries and that big bag of dog food?
  • Run up and down the stairs numerous times as you tidy and clean?
  • Take on that landscaping project you have in mind for the Spring?
  • Dance for the sheer joy of it?

While studies show that exercise plays an important role in promoting sound physical and mental health, more practically, it also adds to quality of life.

Being physically fit allows you to do and be more of Who you want to be.

Ironically, this isn’t one of the many benefits of exercise that is often cited.

Most often we focus on the external reasons to exercise—weight loss or maintenance, a healthier heart, reduced risk of high blood pressure, stronger bones and joints, a stronger immune system, etc.

Those reasons are awesome, but alone they may not be enough to get you out of bed to go move your body.

But what about:

  • Having the energy or stamina to play with your kids or grand-kids?
  • Getting out and enjoying a hike with your family?
  • Taking on a do-it-yourself project around the house?
  • Going horseback riding, water skiing, zip-lining, or canoeing?

All of those activities are easier, safer, and more fun if you consistently move your body.

Even small things make a BIG difference to quality of life. For instance, if feels good to be able to easily carry a box to the attic or basement, haul the laundry basket, or climb several flights of stairs.

These are little moments of joy that are added to your day. Over time, they make a significant different in how much you love your life!

Life is easier—and just more fun—when you have a strong and powerful body that you’ve developed through regular exercise.

How would your quality of life improve if you were in even better physical shape? How could moving your body help you be more of Who you want to be? How can you use those reasons to get your workout in today?

Together we can do it!
