I owe my parents everything for putting me in sports at an early age. My fondest memories were playing basketball, football, and baseball for the Eastside Boys & Girls Club. It was during this time I learned about the value of fitness. One can learn a lot during the practice of organized sports. You begin to build perseverance, a work ethic, reliability, strength, and determination. The values you learn once you establish a fitness routine and stay consistent with it can help you in other areas of your life.
During the beginning stages of any fitness lifestyle, you may experience many difficulties and setbacks. It is during this time many people often give up. Keep in mind that when you begin any new habit, it is often hard initially, but eventually, it gets easier. The key is to stay consistent with it. There are many benefits, as you may know already, which include stress relief, mental clarity, endorphin release, and overall wellbeing. Exercise has been a part of my life since day one. Although I can admit when I was in high school, I wouldn’t run to save my life. Eventually, I developed the habit of running during my college years, which was a benefit and helped me relieve a lot of stress that I had from class and tests.
Begin today and decide that you’re going to take control of your health and create a fitness routine and stick with it. What you do with what you have makes you who you are. The saying goes, “health is wealth.”Why not buy some self-improvement stock in the lifestyle of fitness. Then protect your investment by staying resilient when you’re sore, persevering when you don’t feel like working out, and patient when you don’t see any results initially. I just wanted to share some inspiration with you on some of the values of fitness. Until next time, may you begin to feel invigorated and take control of your health. Be prosperous. Be you. Be great.
Love
