Investing in the body

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.

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.

Congrats on starting one of the best fitness programs out there. I just finished my first 12 week program on the Abs Diet and it has been incredibly rewarding.
