Maybe you want quality of life as you get older or to spend time with your significant other in your golden years.
What ever it that gets you going . . . . find it. Don’t wait too long to start. The longer your delay the more complacent you become.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a long way off. What’s stopping you form starting on your health journey today? Fix your diet, start stretching now. Can you touch your toes? Try doing ten pushups and twenty sit-ups.
