Don’t Wait until it’s too late, or until something bad happens.  The recent death of Davy Jones has opened many people’s eyes.  So far all accounts have reported he was a vegetarian and very active with exercise.  There maybe some other skeletons in the closet, or older skeletons from his younger days.  Nonetheless he has passed and it is tragic.

I was just about to start with a new client a couple of weeks back on a Tuesday.  The Monday before his wife called me and left a message on my voicemail saying he had suffered a mild heart attack and needs to postpone starting a program until he is recovered.  This gentleman is in his 60′s.  Why has he waited this long to make lifestyle changes?  Why wait to improve your life and longevity?  Why wait until something bad happens?  So many people do it week in and week out.  Unhealthy meal planning, sedentary living etc.  These are the only two things we have complete control over when it comes the overall good health.  Diseases like cancer and leukemia can strike without warning no matter what your lifestyle is.  Those are conditions where it is hard or almost impossible to fend off, but sedentary lifestyle related diseases, poor nutrition related diseses we can certainly do something to prevent.

If you’ve read my bio on this site you will know that my father passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 45.  A very young age.  This was before people knew what a calorie was, before we knew what high cholesterol was, when you were considered weird if you were spotted running for exercise down the street.  With all the information and awareness we have today about health and fitness it is irresponsible to not make every effort you can to obtain a healthy lifestyle.
