Muscle It


Men need to stay in shape. It doesn't matter so much how a man gets there. He just needs to get there. Running, aerobics, weight-training, power walking, yoga, cycling, softball, Nautilus, swimming, basketball, spin class, tennis, kick-boxing, etc. The variety is endless. Whatever works.
     The days of flabby men who don't have enough time to workout are over. There should be no excuses. Think about it. A man can't afford to spend a minimum of ten minutes a day on some sort of fitness routine? Not acceptable. Try this. Before heading to the shower in the morning, do some push-ups, sit-ups and some deep knee-bend squats. Remember, no more than ten minutes. Do this every morning, and the muscle-producing effects will appear in no time at all. Now tell me, is that too hard?
      Kirk Douglas commented that he never took the elevator when he was a younger actor working in Hollywood. To stay in shape, he'd climb a few flights of stairs if he had a meeting in a building. Little things like that make a big difference over time.
     Seriously, the issue is general health. Fitness and it's links to improved longevity and emotional well-being are undeniable. It's the smart move.
