A Plug for Exercise

A few years ago, our kids asked us if we would buy a four wheeler like all of their friends had. Our response was simple- "Sure, we'll buy one, as long as you have to pedal it." I have always held a strong belief that our bodies were made to move. As a result, I am a huge proponent of exercise for medicine. I worked as a personal trainer for five years and saw hundreds of people turn their lives around due to exercise and healthy eating. Our quick fix mentality has done our society a huge disservice. Magic pill solutions for good health are what I would call, fixing the problem with bubble gum. It never works for very long, and once it breaks again, it is generally worse than it was before the bubble gum. We need to bite the bullet and accept the fact that we can't get something for nothing (I'm trying to see how many cliches I can fit into one post. I understand it's a sign of an inexperienced writer, so I'm trying to get it out of my system now in hopes that I will be more clever in the future.). Everything that is worth anything takes work. I think many doctors are afraid to mention lifestyle change as an answer because it requires (gasp) time and effort! However, I am going to tell you it is the only thing that will bring lasting changes to your health. I think this video does an excellent job of demonstrating everything I would want to say. So, either stick with it or give it a go. Happy exercise!
