Health is not about “fad”, health is about habits.
Your habits:
-In a day will shape how you feel.
-In a week will shape how committed you are to your goal.
-In a month will shape how close you get to that goal (or blow right past it!!!).
-In a year will shape your business associations, your personal convictions, and your relationship with your family.
-In a lifetime will shape the legacy you leave behind you… your longevity, your risk factor of stroke, osteoporosis, heart attack, and cancer; and of course your impact on future generations.
What habits can you improve throughout the day?
Let’s start small. How about walking to lunch, taking the stairs, playing with your kids/pets outside, parking far away in each parking lot, or turning your TV off and putting your hiking shoes on!
The following information from the Center for Science in the Public Interest says it all:
“Modern conveniences like remote controls, elevators, car washes, washing machines, leaf blowers, and drive-through windows at fast-food restaurants all mean less physical activity. The Dallas Morning News tallied up the number of calories a person could burn if he replaced several “convenient” activities, such as driving through a “drive-through” window, with their more active counterparts, such as walking into the store. Together, they added up to 8,800 calories worth of missed physical activity opportunities each month, or the amount of activity needed to burn off 2.5 pounds of fat.”

So, what kind of shape are your habits in?
Think about it… now shut off your computer and go outside!
