“It totally amazes me that we are so [professionally] driven that we lose our healthto make money and then…turn around and spend all our moneytrying to get our health back.” This quote from Darrin Steen, the creator of Fat Loss Lifestyle, The 12 Week Body Transformation Program, struck me the first time I read it and has the same effect every time I read it. It has this profound effect on me because, I, like you, encounter it daily, whether with personal training clients or with loved ones.   How valuable is the accumulation of wealth, power, pride, you name it, if we are unable to fully enjoy it due to poor health? 

Consider this…. Imagine you are given an entire day that you can spend doing anything you want, free from daily stresses and responsibilities.   What would you do? Now, imagine that day if you would be not being able to stand for a long period of time or had to rest after 15-20 minutes of walking. 

• It’s a little different picture.

 It has been said that life after 55 can be the most enjoyable years of one’s life IF, and it’s a big IF. IF….you have your health. Darrin’s quote at the top of the page ends on a positive note.  He says: “It does not have to be this way.” He’s right!  This is the good news.  You are in control of the 80% of your health (the other 20% is genetics). Today can be the day that you turn around any aspect of your life that may be leading you away from health.  Today, you have the control to live the healthful, joyful life you were meant to live.
