A study at the VU Medical Center in Amsterdam found that people who worked out at least twice a week took half the number of sick days than those who did not work out.
SUPER CONGRATS to my clients Ben and Barbara Ridings for completing the Peachtree Road Race!!
You are an inspiration that regardless of age and circumstance, we can all do things we set our mind and training to!!
I am extremely proud of you!!
My brother in law is a vegan and an organic farmer and one of my favorite phrases of his is “just because it’s vegan does not make it healthy”
The same goes for organic.
Eating organic and eating lots of natural foods such as vegatables and fruits is of course a healthy thing for you. But organic cookies are still cookies. They are not going to make eating cookies magically good for you.
So your personal choices whatever they are (Vegan, Paleo, Vegetarian, Organic, Meataholic) are your own choices just remember that healthy eating comes from variety and from whole foods, it always has. There is no Twinkie Tree in your garden 
So often people are focused on things that really are not all that important when it comes to fitness. As a runner, I have seen too many people worry about their time in races. How fast did you do it? Everyone asks. But there is so much more to being fit than that. Are you able to play with your kids more, can you have exciting adventures with your family and spouse like hikes and bike rides and walks that you couldn’t do before? Does your family vacation seem more effortless?
A good time in a race is a nice thing, sure, but being able to really play with your kids and participate in their life is priceless.
Everyone is always looking for a quick fix. The sad reality is that real results in anything come from hard work. I always laugh at those Holiday Inn Express commercials where the guy is hanging with professionals and they are like HUH — life just isn’t that though.
I went to Stone Mountain today with my family and we hiked all around it and over it and I saw lots of people of all ages and abilities doing the hard work. Quit looking for the quick fix and make it a part of your life and the results can do nothing but come.
