Love the Experience!

If you don’t enjoy the experience of exercise… you likely will not persist in doing exercise for long. If you center your motivation primarily on end results while exercising, you will not persist in exercise for long; albeit longer than those who don’t enjoy it, but results are fleeting and eventually plateau. Therefore… exercise is best maximized when you simply love the experience.

Healthy Eating Costs More?

A recent study reported that healthy eating added $380 to a yearly grocery bill – this simple conclusion is very misleading.

How much money is saved by eating well and improving our immune system? This most certainly leads to less sick days at work and higher energy and focus leading to more production while there. How about lower incidences of health care use through healthier eating? Personal healthcare costs a tremendous amount of money each year to the individual, as well as to the government. Eating healthy can even make us more attractive leading to higher salaries and even getting the job in the first place. Moreover, increased self-esteem and perhaps even better relationships gained through healthier eating… how can that even be valued with a price tag?  

Simple conclusions to very complicated story lines only confuse the issue of what is right… and that’s eating healthy without chemicals and undue ingredients.

Quick Weightloss…

Losing weight quickly isn’t very tricky… it doesn’t require a strong foundation based upon longterm thinking and it can be executed on a whim. Permanent weightloss on the other hand is far more challenging… it requires a robust foundation that’s based on longterm thinking and facts – not a whimsical, anecdotal approach.

Thick or Thin Skinned?

A thicker skin can certainly be a tremendous advantage when being showered with disapproval or even disrespect (and all the various ways that can be shown) but contrary to common wisdom, in matters of deeper meaning, it’s wiser and more powerful to be thin-skinned and sensitive; that’s where the desire to get involved and the force of change is born.

Most Affordable Trainer?

“Inexpensive or affordable trainer” is nothing more than a euphemism for inexperienced and/or low-skilled personal trainer; as with many things, the price frequently reflects the quality of service. There’s no need to pay too much for assistance, but there’s certainly a need to pay enough.
