I know you've been pounded about your financial plan…Wall Street is very good about doing that. The equally important question is; do you have a Physical Health Plan? You know what I mean, that plan of keeping your weight in-line, aerobic exercise, strength training, and sensible eating.
Let ne guess, your financial planner hasn't said a word about it. And of course, Wall Street hasn't been running ads about the importance of physical health planning.
One of my doctors (I have 3) told me his passion around this and I'm with him. You can view his site here.
I hope I will do him proud with the following list of reasons to have a Physical Health Plan:
- Since you're planning out for retirement, shouldn't you plan to be as healthy as possible? Poor health will cost you in money and time.
- Your body was designed to be healthy and functioning at a high level.
- You'll feel better when you exercise and eat right.
- There are people (trainers, authors, magazines) who can help you on your journey. You are not alone.
- Food and drinks that are bad for you are that way for a reason.
- Any career that requires you to sacrifice your health is an assassin and an enemy.
- If you make excuses, you've just validated the importance of having good health plan.
- You don't need to be like an air-brushed model to be in great shape.
- Your body was designed to move, so get going.
- The first 4-6 weeks will feel like hell, but once you get through that period, things will go your way.
