Fit Over 40

Fit Over 40
I have local Combat Endurance Training classes - a home
based fitness course designed to use one's body weight to
improve core strength and better fitness in general.
There's a 7 pm class on Monday and Wednesday and a 5:45am
class on Tuesday and Thursday morning. There's a large
number of folks in both classes.

I'm finding it very exciting that I have many people in the
over 50 year old age group. It seems that there is a
growing number of people who are realizing that they are
going to be on the planet for quite a number of years,
barring any detours, and they are opting to spend their
golden years in good health and feeling strong and healthy.
What a great decision.

Health and fitness is a lifestyle. It may be difficult to
get to a class or get out of bed in the morning but it's
good to think about the results if you make the sacrifice.
Good health, good attitude, and looking forward to each day
are wonderful things to strive for. Disciplining yourself
to do the things necessary to have them is a life style
choice that will reap you tremendous rewards.

I had another wonderful surprise a while back when I got an
email from one of my Karate schools saying that an old
Karate acquaintance of mine was in town and had left his
phone number. This gentleman is a highly respected Black
Belt who really was a role model for me as I was coming up
through the ranks in the martial arts. He and I have always
been friends and I immediately called him and brought him
back to my house to meet my family.

The old times and old stories began to flow and I reminded
him of the story that he had told me many years ago about
his grandfather who made it a habit to walk on his hands
across the kitchen floor and back every Christmas. He said
that he remembered seeing his grandfather do that when he
was 80 years old. His grandfather told him as a young man
that being healthy is free and easy so it's a good idea to
take care of your health. His grandfather lived to be 97
years old.

Choose to be healthy. Choose to do the things that others
may not have the desire or commitment to do. The good
choices that you make to stay healthy will continue to
reward you as your years move on.

Make good decisions about your health,
