As we get older and possibly more confident, our mindset regarding our health and fitness changes - if it hasn't, well, it should!
Yes we all want to look good when we look in the mirror and there are always things that we'd like to change. But as we get older we need to be less preoccupied with what the scales say and what the mirror is telling us
What's more important than fitting into size 8 jeans is......
- How you feel
- How strong your muscles are
- How strong your bones are
- How healthy your heart is
- How positive your mind is
- How much visceral fat (the fat on your organs) you are storing
- How much energy you have
- How flexible and mobile you are
The sooner you can change your body outlook from the aesthetic only, the sooner you will start to make positive and REAL BENEFICIAL changes to your health, fitness and to your mental health.
That list above is an amazing incentive to help you re think how you look at your present and future health.
Your body is an amazing machine capable of so much. If you want to live a long and healthy life then you need to start to rethink how you nourish it, move it and look after it
love this post as it's so true; people just think we go to the gym to look good but its so much more than that.
