Make Time for Your Health or You Will Spend Time in the Hospital

Into the arena to face the beast on a cold dark Monday night. Monday night’s mission was 5x1 on the programming slate. 

So I did 135x10, 225x1, 235x1, 245x1, 255x1, 265x1. Had plenty left in the tank but stopped there for safety reasons. 

For many years, a lot of my personal training clients would tell me that they needed the accountability of having a trainer to meet at a certain time and if they didn’t have that then it would not happen. 

The majority of my long term clients moved away. Many found new trainers and continued the mission. A lot of people just descended back into a sloth life of laziness and atrophy gift wrapped in fat. 

Around town I occasionally see old clients who were once in great shape now looking not so fit. I often wonder what happened to these people. Why would you let yourself go like that? Everyone has their reasons or excuses. 

It’s a personal choice everyone has to make. If health, nutrition and fitness isn’t a priority for you, it’s you who will pay the price eventually. 

If you use the excuse of “I don’t have time”, eventually you will have time to be sick, in the doctors office or hospital. 

More than 6 out of 10 people in our country are overweight or obese. And most of those people have one or more comorbidity elements of metabolic syndrome.

I always tell people that the hardest and most important part is just getting to the gym. Get in there and do something, literally anything!

That’s always going to be better than nothing. 

Nothing leads to atrophy and decay, losing muscle and bone density while gaining fat. 

Get your ass in the gym and do something for your sake. If you can’t do it for yourself then do it for your family. 

And never let Monday win!
