We're not young. It's true, time has kept on ticking. The songs we love are now relegated to iTunes and karaoke, while the younger generation is listening to stuff that sounds like Disney radio. We pass the spare moments "connecting" with other people by playing Words With Friends and other games on our cell phones, devices we barely even use as actual phones anymore. We're getting old, we're getting fat and we're getting lazy. What can we do?
We can take back our youth, reverse the clock…at least to an extent. When I returned from New York City last year after having lost 36 pounds and 49% body fat, I had people telling me how much younger I looked (including one person who told me I used to look like I was in my 40's and now I look like I'm in my 20's, not sure how to take that haha). I now regularly get 28 as a guessed age, which makes me happy as a clam, since that is exactly how I feel. When I think about my parents when they were my age, they just seemed so much older.
Fitness and good nutrition play such a huge role in every part of our lives. They are things you have TOTAL control over, and when you get them in check, all the things you have less control over start to fall into place. You enter a different bracket of society. You remember, the one you USED to be in? It's right there waiting for you. Oh, and cheaper health insurance, fewer doctor visits, better tasting food, the ability to jump into any casual sporting game, and many other things all become so easy. It's all right there waiting for you. You just have to get off your butt and put some work in.
So, if you would like to reclaim your youth, reclaim all the best parts of it while still having the knowledge and experience that comes with age, then leave a comment below and I'll be in touch.
