Why do athletes train hard? Why do football players lift hundreds of pounds of weight?
The stronger they are the less likely they’ll get hurt.
For those of us who don’t play football, the same is true – the more we strengthen our bodies outside of our norm, the less likely we’ll be injured.
Do you and I need to lift hundreds of pounds like football players? Not unless we’re slamming into people regularly! No, begin the habit of rolling out of bed and doing a push-up or a plank or some situps… Do more physically (even minimally) than your everyday work, school, and family routine and you’ll reap this benefit.
Push-ups are my main thing. I wake and roll out of bed and do five or more push-ups. I feel not only pumped up but empowered because I began my day in a disciplined way!
Try it.
Start small.
Be consistent.
You’re on your way to a longer, happier, healthier life!
