I exercise regularly, mainly walking, because I was becoming young and immobile. I realized a few years ago that my lifestyle was getting so sedentary and it really bothered me. I had gained weight and felt lousy all the time. So I started walking nearly every day, and it became a great habit to fall into. Move around, it's good for you!

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah those are things that motivate me too. I am also motivated by getting good sleep (my sleep is so much better when I eat well and exercise). And in turn, good sleep helps you feel better and age better. So it's all interconnected

My dad died at 49 years old from heart failure, which was a complication from his cancer surgery 2 days before. Both health issues were lifestyle related. There is no way I am going to willingly cause my family that kind of pain because I won't look after myself.

If I can only collect my 401k starting at 59.5, it better be a good time. The healthier I am now the healthier I will be then. Make the most of the that time by investing in yourself now
