Success in your fitness endeavors will spill over into all other areas of your life, especially your relationships. When you exercise, your body produces feel-good hormones, the same hormones you experienced when you first met that special someone. As anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship knows, production of those hormones subsides over the years.
Why not take advantage of the hormonal workout response and get your loved one to the gym or out for a walk? If you are active together, you will associate all those feel-good hormones with each other. Being fit also means feeling better, and the better you feel, the more available you will be for the people in your life. Have you ever tried to listen to a loved one talk about a tough day when you had a sore lower back?
Actions speak louder than words. Whether it is at home, at work, or at play, you are probably a role model for someone in your life. People admire and respect those who have a healthy discipline with their exercise and nutrition. A friend who made some lifestyle changes and lost 18 pounds recently told us that everyone at work was suddenly interested in her lunch choices. This boosted her confidence and gave her more encouragement to stick to her healthy eating plan. So start a new health habit today and watch the people around you stand up and take notice.
It is a well-known fact that U.S. presidents make time for physical activity.Many top Fortune 500 companies that have incorporated on-site fitness facilities for their employees report extraordinary increases in productivity and decreases in sick leaves. We uncovered so many benefits related to leadership that we developed a seminar called "Fit to Lead," and it is one of our most popular programs!
The body is an incredible machine, a powerhouse, nature's masterpiece,and a scientific marvel. Each action is a miracle in itself: a wound healing,food digesting, your incredible heart beating, your lungs breathing (an average of 21,000 times a day), your cells tingling with enough electricity to cause a lightning bolt. Your body is a gift. You received one body at birth that can function well into the eighth and ninth decades of life, so treat it well and chances are, you will experience a long, healthy, fulfilling life.
