Exercise. A Hard Sale?

Greetings!  I write pieces to post on this blog for the purpose of sharing the joys of running, exercise and good health. Much of that includes travel, exploration and silly side trips. Through all these ventures I hope to encourage others to pursue an active lifestyle, but I try to avoid sounding preachy. Although, I did in fact, graduate from seminary. Luckily for most, I’ve long since decided not to spend time in the pulpit. 

Seriously, after enjoying success and seeing physical progress with BeachBody products I joined the organization as a Coach. I enjoy a handful of benefits, mostly discounts on Shakeology and other products, as a result. I also have the option to sell fitness programs and to recruit other Coaches. Here's the rub. I stink at that sort of thing. When people ask me how to get or stay fit, I promptly say, "Run. You can do it nearly everywhere and for free." I'm a huge advocate of running, and walking for those whose knees or backs won't allow for the rigors of running. My favorite thing about running is the activity allows you to get out and explore a new location or to simply enjoy nature. Surely, you can see how I'm not a good one to sell DVD in-home-workout programs.

No matter how you do it, exercise.
