Fit

Be Busy , Brawny , Badasses
Good Morning , good afternoon , good evening beloved reader of my ongoing compilation of fitness expertise rants . ( And for that I love you by the way ) As we enter the fourth quarter of people in the movers and shakers ’ world its bound to get real busy I ’ m sure . Fall sports are starting up or getting hot , money businesses and companies have reports to send in and crunch time to explode , and don ’ t let me mention the holidays are literally around the corner . It ’ s no wonder why people have trouble sticking to a fitness routine especially around this period .
However , that is not a valid reason , at least to “ Rich Individuals ” ( people who have an annual income of or more than $ 160K per year or have a liquid net worth of $ 3.2 million or more ) according to Thomas C . Corley ’ s 5 years of studying rich people . " Seventy-six percent of the rich aerobically exercise 30 minutes or more every day ," Corley reports in his book , " Change Your Habits , Change Your Life ." That ’ s just straight cardio , and it doesn ’ t account
for those that do anaerobic ( resistance ) training . Also , here ’ s a short list of top CEO ’ s and leaders that have a weekly workout regimen :
• Richard Bran – Virgin
• Warren Buffet – Birkshire Hathaway
• Oprah Winfrey – Oprah / Harpo
• Cory Booker – US Senator
• Ann Wintour – American Vogue
• Ron Shaich – Panera Bread
• Nick Woodman – Go Pro
• Nancy Pelosi – Congresswoman
Obviously there are numerous benefits to manifesting a workout programs for your busy schedule . I would list those benefits too , but I ’ m willing to wager my expensive pair of shoes I have on right now that more that 90 % of the readers have already heard the list of benefits at some point in their professional live , so I won ’ t list them because you already know . However , having good reason , wanting and needing to , is not the problem . It ’ s actually implementing it , doing it . You need a plan of action that you can stick to and feel good about . This is very important , because if you feel good about it you ’ re three times more likely to stick with it for more than 6 months and continue the benefits for yourself .
1 . Identify the simplest or most fun thing about exercise This step is mandatory because if you ’ re struggling to get something going and you don ’ t do this , you ’ ll end up failing for reason of the opposites of this instruction . Identifying what ’ s easiest to do is a no brainer for those
