How often do I hear the old saying….”but I don’t have time to exercise”!. I work exclusively with women and it baffles me that women so often put everything else in their lives before their own good health. What could possibly be more important? How can there not be enough time to prepare healthy meal, or take a walk, or have a massage? I suppose the next question is, do you have time to be ill?
At Fitgirls we work with many breast cancer survivors and it surprises me to see how many of these women have forsaken their own health post-cancer, to tend to the needs of their family, their friends and their work. They have been through an extraordinary, frightening, lonely journey with cancer. They have survived, they are in remission. But still, their health comes last. Why?
Surely it would make more sense to take on an exercise program to build muscle, metabolism, fitness, bone density, heart health and mental strength? Surely it would make sense to eat well, buy healthy, cancer-fighting foods and prepare healthy meals. Wouldn’t the small amount of time it would take to do these things be worth it?
There is no such thing as not enough time. There is just not enough focus on priority, and on what is really important.
Without your health, what do you have?
