A creative way to get old

It seems to me that many health products are promoted as promises to achieve health and fitness without the effort. They are a promise of the easy way out. I don’t know about you, but I have found that life on earth requires constant effort and that shortcuts rarely result in the job being done properly.

Not exercising or not eating properly will result in your body reacting with problems, (I’m not medically qualified, but even to me that seems obvious). A few pills are not going to make you fit and healthy.

Not moving and working your body will result in muscular decay. So if I don’t walk, the muscles in my legs and stomach will weaken until they can no longer be relied upon to serve me. So when I get a health problem, it is because I took the shortcut, the easy way. Instead of making my muscles work, I gave them an extended holiday. In the long run, it is obviously a dumb thing to do.

Imagine if someone made you sit in a boring, cramped and empty room day after day, you would soon feel very weak. So it is with your muscles – don’t use them and they start to weaken, they lose form, they get smaller and they start to break down.

Muscles are a result of action, not dreams. (Not true! Muscles can also be a result of chemical injection, but that’s okay if you don’t mind becoming abusive to those around you.) If you want a body that works, you have to work that body!

Maybe your body loves being exercised but you have never pushed it long enough to find out! You will have to talk to it and find out for yourself. Through martial arts, I exercise a lot, some say that makes me an adrenalin junkie, I think that’s probably simply jealousy on their behalf and a weak attempt to justify their own laziness.

So if you want to be creative, imaginative and dynamic, start using that brain muscle or else it also will shrivel up and you will end up with a boring, empty room in your head. Then you will have legs that won’t walk and a head that can’t think, that’s what many think of as old age, I call it laziness.
