There’s no time like the present to begin your fitness routine. Not tomorrow, nor even next week. NOW!

As humans we tend to procrastinate. I know – I’ve been there myself. However, if I may belabor an old axiom, none of us are getting any younger, which means with each passing year it becomes more difficult to start good habits. And to me there’s simply no better habit than committing oneself to a daily exercise routine.

So, if you haven’t done so already today, as soon as you’ve finished reading this I would like you to commit to a fitness plan and begin it today. Really. I know that most of us like being forewarned of commitments and always enjoy the option of not keeping them. By asking you to begin exercising today I am nipping any potential trepidation or feelings of self-doubt in the bud.

It could be as simple as going out for a half hour walk or bike ride, or doing a cycle of push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups. Or it might even mean walking up and down a staircase a dozen times. Whatever it is, I want you to not think about it, but do it, right now, because – to coin another phrase – tomorrow may be too late.
