Don’t Skip A Day of Exercise

I never had a session of exercise, either biking, a long walk, hiking, yoga, weight lifting, or running — that I regretted.

Even though I might not have felt like doing it when I started, I never thought to myself, “I shouldn’t have gone for that bike ride” or “It was such a bad idea to take that yoga class!

On the contrary, I felt much better after getting my body moving.  In fact, on the days that I had the faced the most challenges in getting started with my exercise, those were the days I felt the best post-exercise high.

It is a basic human need to exercise every day.  What you’ll discover once you make a commitment to exercise is that you’ll be more hungry for natural, whole foods.  That plate of pasta won’t be quite so appealing and the slice of pie will turn you off.  But that bowl of billowing fruit will call you with it’s siren song.  So earn your meals and your rewards with exercise.

Is it any wonder that hunger is widely recognized as a sign of health?  Lack of appetite is widely recognized as a sign of ill health.  And the best way to cultivate true hunger is to engage in vigorous exercise.

So make a commitment to get your body moving for 20-30 minutes every day.  Do it today!  Your body will thank you for it!
