Health and Fitness




CONCLUSION:  Assignment:



1. Make the distinction between fitness and health. You've done this already.

2. Decide to become healthy. I hope you've done this already too.


3. Know where you are. Are you currently exercising aerobically or anaerobically? Are you burning fat or glycogen? Either visit somebody who can test you, or answer the following questions:

Do you wake up in the morning feeling tired?

Do you feel famished after working out?

Do you experience wild mood swings after working out?

Does that same layer of fat hang in there despite your most diligent efforts?

Do you feel aches and pains after exercising?

If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that you're exercising anaerobically.

4. Purchase a portable heart-rate monitor (they cost in the range of $175 to $200). It's one of the best investments you'll ever make.

5. Develop a plan. Condition your metabolism to burn fat and produce  consistent levels of energy by beginning a ten-day program of  aerobic exercise according to the guidelines I outlined above. Begin immediately.

6. Decide to make exercise part of your identity. It is only through a long-term, lifelong commitment to exercise that we can truly reap  the  rewards that  life has to offer us.

  It seems like an obvious move. We’re in a bull market and stocks are soaring. Interest rates are still near historic lows.

Increase your wealth

The most important thing you'll ever do in your financial life is to decide to truly understand  the various types of investments  and what their potential risks and returns are.  Responsible advisors will make certain that all of their clients thoroughly understand the kinds of investments that are available and that they take part in the development of their own financial plans.  Without a clear-cut investment plan, you will eventually fail financially. According to financial newsletter editor Dick Fabian, "Evidence shows that investors- investors in anything make no money over a ten-year period.   There are several reasons for this tragic statistic, including: 1) Not setting a goal, 2) Chasing after trendy investments; 3) Relying on reports from the financial press; 4) Blindly taking advice from brokers or financial planners; 5) Making emotional mistakes, and so on....

Maintain your wealth

The only possible way to maintain wealth is to pick a specific percentage of your income that you will invest each year up front. Now, many people know this,we've all heard about the virtues of saving a minimum of 10 percent and investing it. But very few people do it- and interestingly enough, very few people are wealthy. The best way to insure that you'll be able to maintain your wealth is to have 10 percent taken out of your paycheck and invested  before you even see it.

Too often opportunities come up and out of a sense of urgency we make decisions that later  on we regret.  Unfortunately most peopl...
