Today I was reminded afresh of just why I love not only Fitness Blender, but exercising and taking care of my body to the best of my ability.
Today I spent time with an older family member who hates exercising, and has told me on numerous occasions that she doesn’t believe in doing things that hurt, and that exercise hurts. She commented that if she had known she was going to live this long that she would have taken better care of herself.
I don’t judge her for this, but it did make me sad. And I’m reminded that I have this ONE body to carry me through my life, and because I want to live a full life, I want to take care of this body! Beyond any superficial goals (which I certainly have! 😬), I want to exercise to feel good and strong, to be healthy, and to maintain functional strength for as long as possible!
A Good Reminder of Why We Exercise

That’s just the best reward for exercise!!!
