Younger Next Year

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I don’t know about you, but I get older every year. I try to stop the earth from going around the sun, but I can’t. With each trip I make around the sun my waist seems to get a little bigger, my endurance a little shorter and my strength a little weaker. Crap, I’m middle-aged!

While I’m in ok shape for a 46 year old, I know I could be in better shape. At one point in my early twenties I ran three marathons, good luck to me trying to run 5 miles twenty some years later. So, I finally got the ambition fired up to eat better and exercise more. It actually has stuck for just about 12 weeks. That, I am told, is a sign that I have accepted the habit… and I’m ten pounds lighter to boot!

For us folks approaching the geezer years, it is important to truly understand the basics of our physiology and how to exercise and eat in order to live well. I did some digging in the book store, looking for a little inspiration and came across a book that I have now bought 30 copies of and handed out. The title of the book is, “Younger Next Year”. What I really like about it is the authors do not pitch any gimmicks, new age stuff nor sell supplements. I found it to be a great guide.

Now, those of you who have followed this blog for a while know, I do not sell things via my blog. This time I am going to make an exception. I have added a page www.robwaite.com/Younger_Next_Year to my site so that you can the book from Amazon.com. You don’t pay more and I get an affiliate commission. Hey, it takes money to keep this site up and running, so every now and again I will make my exception. What I promise is that I will always disclose it if I am selling something.

Even if you don’t buy it through my Amazon.com link, I would encourage you to buy it, read it, digest it and DO IT!

Here’s to you being younger next year!
