“Go for a nice walk and get some exercise!”

It’s the only way to get out the stress and get back in the zone! (Image Credit and thanks to South Park)

Food has always been my vice throughout life. I used to be the ‘little fat kid’ and although I have been very fit throughout my life; there have been times that without being politically correct, I have been ffffhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaattttt!

It happens to the best of us and depends on a range of factors. I make of course no attempt to rationalise or defend my actions as to why I have been fat historically, but it’s been wonderful finally getting control of it once and for all.

As I have really improved my own health, I am in a credible position to help others get a handle on their own health. Be it someone who is quite overweight like I once was or even too skinny and equally unhealthy; I have been really making this a key focus for the community.

I get lots of calls & messages from wonderful people during the week who are trying their best to win and are very stressed out, feeling negative and even totally out of the zone.

Almost always these people have health that was like mine 12 months ago and I am the first to be upfront to them and tell them how I dropped the ball this is area. A big part of my thinking lately has been helping people get heathier with directness and a bit of tough love (if necessary).

Whenever I get a call from someone who is stressed out and feeling negative, I first tell them to slow down, chill out and breathe deeply. When they are feeling better, I then say something like this:

–          “You need to get some exercise right now. Go for walk every day, get healthy and relax”

When I say this, I then get all the lame excuses. I don’t take them of course as in that I know how the brain works. I made lots of excuses and I get excuses from people who have way less work to do that I do.

My advice and thinking? Go for a nice walk and get some exercise! Even if it’s once a week, it’s better than never once a week. Just get started and it will make you feel better and get more productive.

This reminds too as to one of my favourite South Park episodes where our anti-hero Cartman gets some tough lough from the Dog Whisper Cesar Milan.

Whether you are slim as or fat as; that is all wonderful. Get daily exercise, improve your mindset and stay awesome!
