I was doing Jari Love’s Slim & Lean workout again today (for about the millionth time- it’s a great weights video)  and although I’ve heard it before, this time I challenged what she was saying:

Nothing is more rewarding than getting your health in order. It makes you more enjoyable to be around, and gives you more control over your life.

Although I generally agree, this got me thinking:  Nothing is more rewarding?  Not spending time with your kids, enjoying a romantic relationship, flying to Paris,  getting a great job, building houses for homeless people?  I can think of a lot of rewarding things to do.   So how is working on your health more rewarding than an of those things?

Well, I think people can take it too far.  If you never get out of the gym, you never eat chocolate cake, you never swim in the ocean because it’s bad for your skin, then you’re not really living.

On the other hand, most of us don’t take it far enough.   Taking care of our health is something we should spend more time and energy on.   It gives us more options – when we’re healthier we can get (and keep)  a better job. We can be more attractive to our significant other (my husband deserves the best I can give him!) and we will have more energy for our children, and will live longer to see them grow up.

So, Jari was right.  :-)

Have a great day!
