Give the gift that keeps on giving

Biking on Sanibel Island
Rode to Island Cow for breakfast yesterday.

A healthy body is a gift to yourself and others.

Why would you deny yourself this incredible gift?

Because it’s too difficult?

i believe – from a lifetime of personal observation – that living with poor health is more difficult than living with vibrant health.

The work is about the same, but the payoff is different by a staggering amount.

The health of our body has consequences

The health of our body has consequences.

It sounds obvious, but it’s our job to manage our health.

Neglect one area, the other four suffer.

Enhance one area, the other four benefit.

Common sense but not common.

The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all exercises walking is best. Habituate yourself to walk very far.  – Thomas Jefferson

We use humor to mask our pain from giving up.

To get back to my youth, I would do anything in the world,
except take exercise, get up early or be respectable.  – Oscar Wilde

The best time to start exercising was 30 years ago. The second best time is today.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Back off dude.

Still feeling the effects of the half-marathon track workout from two days prior. This was a signal to take my foot off the accelerator, and to go slow and long. But not too long.

Dear Son, it’s evident you’ve begun your revelation into understanding the importance of a healthy body. Your motives for exercising will ebb and flow over time. Eventually your motive will simply be to remain healthy and active.

And you will get to this place when you fully understand that being as healthy as you can be is directly linked to personal integrity, gratitude, and happiness.
