Investing in the body

May 16th, 2006 | by mbhunter |

I just finished my first set of exercises on my Abs Diet program, and I am spent!  I’m going to be an extremely sore blogger tomorrow.
Getting into shape has financial benefits:

  • Fewer trips to the doctor
  • Fewer injuries and less need for resulting rehabilitation
  • Clearer head and more productivity, likely leading to higher pay
  • Entertainment is just a (free) jog away
  • Regular-sized clothes are cheaper than 2X, 3X, etc.
  • Better nights of sleeping, more productivity, likely leading to higher pay
  • Putting off immobility a few years

Investing in one’s health is just that: an investment.  Though there are some financial benefits, ultimately the desired payoff is priceless — a longer, healthier life.  It’s like an infinite return on your invested time and money.

Thanks to the No Credit Needed Network for fitting me in the side bar.

    Investing in your body is something that every person should take the time to do. I’m currently in the middle of a series about fitness entitled 21 Days to a Fitter You. If you’re looking for some tips and advice on exercise and fitness, I’d encourage you to check it out.

    In fact, I’m running a couple of articles on “six-packs” this weeks, so you might find it particularly interesting.

    Way to go! I’ve lost about 35 lbs of fat the past year after really packing it on the previous year, so I know what you are going through. Stick with it. Get the eye of the tiger. It is so worth it.

    Just be careful. If you do the wrong type of thing too often, you might find your medical bills increasing instead of decreasing.
