I originally had a different video planned to show y’all but after Janet sent me this I had to share it. This gentleman makes a very good point about what how your fitness transfers into the longevity of being independent in your life for longer. What I mean by that is the fact that you don’t need someone to help you off the toilet or get out of bed or help you walk around.
Some of my favorite moments of training clients have been the older generation group because they have the most to gain. Its easy as a young kid to preach health when my metabolism is fast and I can fall down and get off the floor like nothing happened, its easy to say fitness matters when these things are easy.
When those things not only become hard but possibly life threatening, that is when your fitness matters the most. When you’re young and the consequences of your health/fitness are years down the road its easy to let it fall to the way side. Take the forethought to plan ahead. Everyone should be exercising and lifting weights in one capacity or another. Whether it is bodybuilding, powerlifting, CrosssFit, Body Pump, etc. I say I want to live to be 100 years old. Why? cause life is awesome and I want to keep enjoying it. Can’t really enjoy it that much when getting off the toilet is a struggle.
ANY WAY… Enjoy the video 🙂
