We all want to live a healthy life, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to fulfill our responsibilities and get our optimum workout in. We have work, after work activities, maybe even a spouse or children; things that are important but also consume our time. I have learned it is not so much about the quantity of the workout, but the quality. I have seen people spend hours in the gym and come out looking worse than when they went in. You’ve seen the type. They spend more time taking “selfies” or taking 30 minute breaks in between every 2 repetitions of an ankle rotation exercise. When the finally leave the gym, still looking like they were going on an errand, fresh from the shower, versus the gym, they go to a fast food place, order the left side of the menu and a Green tea, (loaded with sugar of course) to be healthy. I have learned making simple changes in your life can lead to a healthy life. I hate running, but I don’t mind walking. I park a little further from buildings to get some extra walking or “steps” in. I have a goal for the day, the week, the month, to get a certain amount of “steps” in. This may not be the answer for everyone, but small adjustments (in whatever works for you) cause minimal inconvenience and can lead to maximum gains. You see the small steps can lead to bigger changes, and before you know it, the quantity of time is not as important as the quality. I have seen people watch their diet and only spend about an hour in the gym 3-5 times a week. They look good and feel good, but you see, they make every moment count. They take the stairs, instead of the elevator, whenever possible. They opt for the healthier choices at meal time, or pre-pack their meals to know what they are actually eating. The park a little further from the building to get their steps in. They choose water instead of Cokes. The path to a healthy purpose driven life begins with the first step. What are you waiting for? More time; probably won’t happen. An engraved invitation, well here it is….You are cordially invited, in whatever way works for you, to figuratively and literally “GET TO STEPP’IN” towards a healthier you!
