Has the last few years been a much for you and it’s taken a toll on your health? Today we’re focusing on how you can have a rich life by getting fit!
The Challenge: Fit at 40ish
These past three years have been quite the ride. The pandemic has definitely affected me.
Nothing dramatic, but when you put it together I can see how things have shifted. Good and bad.
I have family and friends who are vulnerable to COVID because of health issues they already had, so I’ve been more cautious and that’s translated to me worrying a bit more.
On the plus side, I knew that social isolation wouldn’t be good for me or my family we started meeting up with others outdoors. I believe that was real helpful with keeping in touch with our friends and getting that fresh air.
Same thing with eating. On the plus side we cooked and ate more at home, but looking at the meals we picked, comfort foods topped the list.
Again, nothing crazy, but you stack these together for a few years and it starts. I see it on the scale, with my energy levels, and more.
So I’m turning that around this year and I’m prioritizing my health. Because I think it’s a core component to that rich life we talked about last week.
I want to enjoy hanging with our kids, become more active, and maybe find a new activity or hobby.
Besides the obvious physical benefits of getting fit, there’s also a mental and an emotional boost when you’re taking care of yourself that spills over to other areas of your life.
Which is why I’m thrilled to have Rich Jones on the podcast. He’s the award-winning creator founder of Find More Balance and the Mental Wealth Show where he discusses holistic health for high achievers.
A few years ago, Rich had his own transformation. By focusing on his mental and physical, Rich had some incredible personal and professional wins.
In this episode we’ll get into:
- Rich’s amazing journey of sobriety to becoming a national track champion
- healthy habits you can adopt to have meaningful improvements to your health
- how to take and make your health goals into reality
We have so much to cover, so let’s get started!
