Healthy Life Pro: eat right

There are No Free Rides to Fitness

Nothing happens without putting in some effort. Sorry, no free rides to fitness. The choice is ours to make and we must accept the consequences of that decision. We can either choose to be miserable and unhealthy or healthy and happy. Our body will represent our choices. The answer seems so simple but many of us resist being healthy tooth and nail. People somehow feel fitness is a burden that removes all the fun in life. I find this perplexing.

How is feeling sick, tired, and in pain all the time a fun daily existence? Does this make any logical sense? Why is offering up some time, sweat and eating healthy food looked upon as the worst thing ever? Let's wake up America and embrace loving our body with what needs to be done to turn this around.

Fitness happens when we make it a priority, feed our body the right stuff, and exercise a few times per week. It's not rocket science nor does it cost lots of money. There's also room for indulgence, rest, and play. The vicious rumors of fitness not being fun are myths. The quick fix marketing schemes blasted everywhere want you to believe these myths to get their hands on your hard-earned cash. Sadly, many consumers fall for the unregulated snake oil companies are serving up with a smile. Fitness isn't about quick anything but a lifestyle of consistent healthy habits.

Ready for the fitness secret that's not a secret? Get your backside to the gym and workout, eat some greens, grains, lean meat, and drink lots of water. This is the payment for health and fitness. It's not hard and actually enjoyable once you get your mind right. Also, if you want a cookie, eat a darn cookie. Health and fitness mean living a balanced life. Being fit is not a brutal life of diets and exercise punishment. On the contrary, it's working out and eating right because it makes us feel good and healthy.

FITNESS NEWS FLASH � WORK REQUIRED AND NEVER OPTIONAL

Life does not promise easy, fair, fun, happiness, or even health. In fact, life is hard and guess what, work is required and never an option. It is up to each one of us to create the lifestyle that we live and this is not going to be found in a jar, pill, powder, or shake. If popping a �fit pill� was the answer to all things magical and provided the body of our dreams inside and out, then I definitely would not need to write this blog. The facts are in and they have been for decades that the way to obtain a fit physique is through consistent healthy food intake, regular exercise, plenty of rest, water, and balance of life.

The �want it now� society tries every side-step method to achieve what can only be done through sweat producing work. There is not a pill or shake that is going to teach a person how to shop and select healthy foods for life and they will surely not sprout legs and exercise so that we consume the activity benefits. What usually does occur with quick fix programs is possibly some weight loss due to very low calorie diets and bodies that are running on empty experiencing negative side effects like dizziness, blood sugar and pressure issues, and nutrient deficiencies just to name a few. Frustration and discouragement typically follow as the program just does not feel good and studies have shown that any weight lost is put back on plus more.

Work goes with life, supplying our needs and wants. We want things so we work for them, and the same is true of our health. Health comes at the price of time, energy, and simply eating healthy food. The work is challenging and that is a great thing because it does change us, makes us stronger and better able to enjoy our body and life overall. We can no longer think that tricking health through gimmicks and potions is acceptable. That would be comparable to owning the golden goose and not having to put in our eight to five for a living. We are no strangers to what work feels like and it can be rewarding and provide an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. The results of hard work are being able to achieve and have what we want and desire in life, and is never optional. If having a healthy fit body is the desire, put in the work and see what happens.
