Health and fitness
Our bodies are miracles and taking care of our physical fitness is something many wish to do, but can’t seem to stay committed to do. There are many opportunities to become physically fit; however, finding one that involves competition at different age levels and skill levels is critical in longevity. Competition allows goals to be set and motivates conditioning, which provides a reason to train. Without a reason, it is exercise, which becomes boring and easy to quit. The excuse that I hear from many is “I can’t do it” or “I’m no good at it” and my answer to that is “you are doing better than the person at home on the couch just by trying”. The most difficult thing about training (don’t call it exercise, that sounds meaningless) is getting started. Getting past “I feel tired today” and “I can’t do it” requires discipline to avoid missing work-outs. If you are going to get in shape might as well make a fun competition out of it. With rising healthcare costs it pays to take care of your body.
