Would you do it for your children?

What if your children's health and longevity depended on your workout today? Would you do it? I'll bet you would. You would find the time no matter how busy your schedule or how tired you were.

Now think back to when you said you would never be like your parents. How has that worked out for you?

Your children's health and longevity DOES depend on your workout today. By making a commitment to exercise and eating a healthy diet, you are showing them the way to a healthier lifestyle. When they reach your age, they won't be struggling to exercise or eat right because they will have done it their entire lives. They will have watched you do it and experienced the transformation from dud to stud with you. They will see you having more energy, being happier, and they'll see your face light up when you realize you've just done something with ease that used to be difficult. Health and fitness will become a fundamental quality to them. Wouldn't you like to help them avoid all the bad habits you've acquired? Wouldn't it be easier for you to get in shape today if your parents had done the same for you?

Make the commitment today to change your life and impact your children's future. When they grow up, they'll say "Thanks mom and dad for setting such a great example for me. I couldn't have gotten that college athletic scholarship without it!"
