You may have to literally dedicate your life to it

An object in motion faces challenges. So does an object at rest.

 

Honor the temple housing everything keeping you alive.

You may have to literally dedicate your life to it.

And if you don’t, you may have to dedicate your life to addressing the many preventable health situations brought on by poor choices.

Cardio, strength, rest, nutrition, flexibility, core, motivation.

Go.

Who’s the most important member of your healthcare team?

Healthy and active aging
Healthy and active aging is possible. Just ask 93-year-old Dixon Hemphill (L) and 100-year-old Orville Rogers (R). And it requires a lifetime commitment once you decide to start. You can start at any time, but quitting is not conducive to lifetime wellness.

 

 

Who’s the most important member of your healthcare team?

Family Doctor?

Dentist?

Optometrist?

Specialist(s)?

As we age, we have the increased odds of having a larger team.

So your answer?

You are the most important member of your healthcare team.

Go.

Be well.

PS. Link to the sprint rematch two days ago. And a bonus featuring 102-year old Hurricane Hawkins – setting the 100m and 60m world records.

What are you really waiting for?

The test? A coronary calcium score screening. Never had this done. Insurance may not cover it. Prepared to spend $100 out of pocket to do it. Photo: Yesterday after annual physical with a new doctor (switched after 34 years due to new insurance coverage). Rode bicycle to the appointment.

 

So i asked myself…

Your health…

Cardio?

Strength?

Rest?

Nutrition?

Flexibility?

Core?

Motivation?

What are you really waiting for?

What do you gain by not changing?

If we were on a permanent vacation

Biking around town is becoming more frequent. Heading to a client meeting in the photo above.

 

We’ve all done this exercise…

How would you ideally spend your days if you no longer had to work?

 

i’d walk or bike every day, like to the grocery store to get fresh food for today’s and tomorrow’s meals. i’d also bike to appointments and restaurants and friends. i’d spend time writing every day. i’d garden, and watch the sun rise and set every day. i’d go to bed early, get a good night’s sleep and wake up at 5am to anxiously begin another glorious day.

Everything that is worth anything is this

Everything that is worth anything is this…

Hard work.

How cool is it to know for sure?

Go.

Have fun.

Work hard.

And let your karma be contagious.
