Lifetime Fitness? You Are Lucky To Have The Chance.

I visited a 2nd World War site today and it brought home to me just how lucky we all are today to have the opportunities to keep ourselves fit and well nourished.  During the war years, with food rationing in the UK there was hardly enough food available to keep alive let alone have a choice.  Lifetime fitness was not really on the agenda.

Well, we have a choice today and what do we do?  We eat loads of junk food and pile on the belly fat.  Do we not have a duty with everything that is available to us today, to keep ourselves fit and healthy?

Think about it and then do something about it.  You have a choice, they didn’t.
