Prioritizing Fitness

I am always surprised when people don't understand why they aren't fit. It is apparent to me they don't prioritize being fit - they don't do what is necessary - increased activity, better eating habits, etc. There is always something else they need to accomplish and finding time to do what is necessary to be fit takes a back seat. In reality, if being in shape were equal to other priorities (career, family, entertainment, etc.) they would find those areas wouldn't suffer but might actually improve. Your work focus will be better; you will have energy at the end of the day to enjoy time with your family and eat a healthy dinner together; you might find you have other things to enjoy other than watch HDTV like taking the dog for a walk. What is important gets done--and everyone knows it.
