Hey Friend,
Is there any point to trying to get back in shape when you're "Over The Hill?"
Unfortunately, as men get older - into their 40's, 50's, 60's and
beyond - most just give up on their health and fitness.
It's quite common to see hard working men spend their entire adult
lives doing everything they can to provide for their family, put food
on the table, and a roof over their heads - while neglecting their own
health and fitness in the process.
Neglecting your health and fitness is like trying to get ahead by ignoring the maintenance on your
car.
Things are eventually going to break down and fall apart if you don't look
after it.
And what might have been a simple repair job, could lead to
engine failure if left unfixed.
Now if you abuse your car, you can always get another one.
But the same can't be said for your body - you only get one - so you better look after it now while you still can.
Just think about it...
All the years of working hard to provide for your family isn't going
to mean much if you die before your time, and leave your wife without a
husband, and your children without a father.
That was almost the case for Paul, a 62-year-old English Teacher
from Alberta, Canada.
The stress of his work caused him to seek relief
through "Comfort Food"... Rich, fatty, greasy, calorie-dense foods… And
going to the gym for exercise was the last thing on his mind.
It got to the point where Paul no longer cared about how fat and
unhealthy he had become. At the end of the day, he just wanted that
temporary relief of eating junk food while sitting on the sofa in front
of the TV.
As the years progressed Paul's weight climbed to over 240 pounds. The
extra fat around his waistline was circling his heart like a seal in
shark infested waters... He was a ticking time bomb... and it almost cost him his life!
Paul and I were recently chatting about his situation and how he was
able to turn his life around after a near death experience at age 62.
He
was kind enough to let me share his story on my blog. Hopefully it will help
inspire someone who's in a similar situation right now to make a change
before it's too late.
