This keeps some of us going each day we feel like quitting

Frequent travel and cold weather are two of the easiest & biggest excuses

 

No one builds a reputation on what they are gonna do.

Imagine two people talking about us and one says to the other:

“So-and-so really takes care of their health”.

And the other person says:

“Pfffftttt, seriously? You’re kidding right?”

No one builds a legacy on what they are gonna do either.

This prompts a simple question:

Are we an example or a warning?

If not now, when?

This keeps some of us going each day we feel like quitting.

Walk, run, skip, doesn’t matter – just move.

 

What is required of us in order to stay at it for our entire lifetime?

Keep things as simple as possible

 

Keep things as simple as possible. We either exercised a few days last week or we didn’t.

Yesterday a bike rider said he had logged 87 miles in 11 months. Pathetic. Really. If the goal is to be active.

Biking requires equipment. It’s not nearly as safe as other options. It’s not a bad option, just more complicated.

In a moment, this runner is going to go downstairs, out the door, walk to the street and begin running.

Anywhere. Anytime. Alone. With others. Portable. Doable. Shoes and shorts. Go. No excuses.
