You On A Diet
One of the most important things we can do is take care of our bodies. It does not matter if I am teaching self-defense skills or success skills, health and fitness are important. The better you take care of yourself, the better you will be able to perform and enjoy life.
One of the books I read last month was "You On A Diet" by Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. This was a very good book with some great practial advice regarding diet and exercise. It is not a book to make you an elite athlete, but for general fitness the advice is sound.
If you want to make the most of your life and make things happen, start by taking care of yourself. Eat right and exercise. That does not mean you can never have another pizza or hamburger and fires. You don't have to punish yourself for sneaking that milkshake or candy bar. You can indulge in these things at times, just make sure that you limit the high fat and sugar foods and make the majority of the foods you eat healthy ones. Similarly, you don't have to run marathons or lift the poundages Olympic athletes lift, but you should include exercise in your daily routine and make sure you get aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, and stretching incorporated into your program. It can be as simple as walking a half hour a day, lifting some weights three times a week, and stretching each day along with your other exercise. Obviously if you want to excell as physical endeavors you will need more of a training routine, but for way too many people, they are not getting any exercise, so this basic program can do wonders.
As everyone knows, I recommend reading and studying and I read 6-8 books a month along with the magazines and other things I read. I always include at least one fitness/health/exercise book a month. I recommend you do the same. Study and read about health and fitness, but more importantly, incorporate the strategies into your lifestyle. Get fit and make things happen!
