No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back. -Turkish Proverb
The connection between exercise and mood is too overwhelming to ignore. Regular exercise elevates and enhances mood. Furthermore, our overall outlook is brighter as the result of some form a daily exercise. For those living in colder regions, the present winter conditions have proven to be a challenge for doing outdoor exercise. Don’t forget that countless people are going to their local malls and engaging in vigorous walking during the winter months. You can also do calisthenics right inside your home during cold weather.
As for me, I have continued my daily calisthenics outside on my carport even on the coldest of days. I find this invigorating and it also seems to be bolstering my immune system, but please use caution about exercising outside during cold weather. As I have said many times, always check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.
Do not be like numerous people I have talked to over the years who are slowly but surely killing themselves. They refuse to make any changes to their destructive lifestyles. Obesity, unhealthy eating habits, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle will not only shorten life, but quality of life will also be negatively affected over time.
Whatever your age, think of where you want to be in terms of your overall health in five, ten, or twenty years. If you are 49 like me, is it reasonable to think that in twenty years you can still be active and healthy? The answer is absolutely. Daily exercise, healthy eating habits, and a positive outlook will make this possible. Throw away your cigarettes today. Begin today to eat healthy. Make whatever changes you need to make.
The results will amaze you.
With sincere effort, it can be a great day – and so will tomorrow!
