Getting in shape physically is a wonderful way of building your confidence and
self-image. It’s not easy to feel confident if you’re overweight, and exhausted after
climbing a flight of stairs.
Health and fitness are just like any other areas of life: get the causesright and the
effectscome right too. This means, for instance, sensible eating, good breathing
and posture, regular exercise and plenty of laughter and relaxation.
The recipe for better health, maximum energy, minimum illness and an extended
lifespan has a familiar ring to it:
■ Choose fitness: make it your intentionto be healthy.
■ Thinkhealth and fitness.
■ Imagineyourself in peak condition.
■ Act ‘as if ’you want to be as fit and healthy as possible.
Give your body what it needs, and it will return the favour!
