Be ACTIVE!

Stretch, breathe, move and exercise, daily. It isn’t a surprise that being active is extremely important to the human body and mind. If we all know and understand the importance of living actively, then why do we remain comfortable with ourselves living a sedentary life.

It's simply because it is comfortable to sit back and watch a tv show or play video games. To be honest, sometimes I would rather sit back and do the same thing, most days. You have to have a bigger "Why". Why are you going through this discomfort of being active? Is it to improve your overall health for yourself, to find a significant other or so you can play with your kids and not be constantly out of breath. Start by figuring out your why and you will notice that getting off of your butt and doing something to better yourself. I promise.
