“A man too busy to take care of his health
is like a mechanic too busy to care for his tools”


We all get busy. We don’t have time for a “decent” meal and end up eating fast food – often while in transit from one event to the next!

Unless you have been living in a cave most of your life, you know that exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Even so, how many times have you skipped a workout, or put off an exercise routine completely because:
-I’m too busy
-There just isn’t time
-There’s just too much I need to get done

There is too much to do, so we stay up a little later in hopes of getting caught up. In the process, we sacrifice much needed sleep. The next day you are dragging and our production and attention suffers. Generally, you end up moving slower the day after often causing yourself to get further behind than you would have been had you just gone to bed!

In fact a recent study indicates that “Lack of sleep may be a heart attack or premature aging waiting to happen.” Read the story yourself:

In the often quoted book, “The Richest Man in Babylon” the author explains the way to get rich is to pay yourself first. That may be the best way to take care of your health also. What if you hit the exercise bike or stepper instead of the snooze button? You could get in a brief workout before your day went crazy and you got too busy and had no time.

Or you could just wait for your heart attack to happen...for what its worth
