The Great Side Effects Of Being Fit - Christopher C.
Let’s quickly make a list of the “side effects” of not getting on a fitness exercise program and healthy eating plan vs. making a change to a newer, greater you…
Not on Health/Fitness Program “Side Effects”:
-Gain weight -Lose muscle (If you had any in the first place) -Add fat -Decreased stamina (In ANYTHING you do) -Increased rate of illness (colds, flu, etc.) -Increased rate of disease -Frequently tired -Depression -Lowered self-esteem
Now, let’s list a few side effects of being healthy when you start to adopt a positive change in your life:
-More energy -Confidence -Greater feeling of self-worth -More muscle -Less fat -A general feeling of happiness -Feeling that you can conquer anything you want to (and you can!) -Lost weight
It’s a pretty easy pick, isn’t it?
And that’s just the beginning, folks.
Believe me, there are a whole lot more side effects (both positive and negative) when you make this all important choice.
And I haven’t even touched the reasons about your friends and family, and how this greatly affects them too.
That’s for another time.
So, it all comes down to this….
Would you rather take the easy way out, and lay on your couch, eating bon-bons (do they even make those anymore?).
Or………
Would you rather decide right now that you’ve had enough, and design a plan of action to take you from where you are right now……
To wherever you want to go to.
Do I need to go any farther?
Didn’t think so.
At least by reading this (and my other) articles, you are taking that all important first step.
That first step to a leaner, healthier you.
It may SEEM hard at first.
But let me tell you……..
Oh, really let me tell you………
It’s FAR more worth it than anything else you can imagine.
I mean, who wants to (as they get older) spend all of your free time in doctor’s offices and hospital rooms?
What kind of retirement is that?
Well, if you don’t start taking care of yourself NOW (no matter what your age)……..
You have a very high likelihood of giving all of your money away to doctors.
What fun is that?
Not much.
You might as well wave goodbye to your vacation home, your trips overseas, your new sports car, and your new boat…..
You’ll be too busy paying doctor bills.
All because you didn’t follow Chris C.’s advice, lol.
I would say I told you so……..
But you’ll probably be experiencing too many negative “side effects” to listen……..
Since I know your way better than that, let’s start today and not turn back!
Don’t wait till it’s too late!
I’ll talk to you soon.
