"Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will."
Dr Robert Anthony
...It all starts with YOU!
How many times have you rushed out or picked up the phone to purchase a product that promised you amazing results like 'Lose 10kgs in just two weeks' or 'In Just 28 days you too can have a stomach like this!'! I know I have. We are all after the quick fix. When we make a decision we want the results yesterday.
If I said to you I could build a six bedroom, four bathroom brick house in just two weeks, would you buy from me? I doubt it. You know it can't be done! And if it was done in just two weeks how long would the house remain standing? Well, it's the same for people wanting to lead a healthy, active and fun lifestyle...it takes time and effort!
Let me ask you a few questions…
- Do you want to lose weight permanently?
- Do you want to help prevent Osteoporosis in you and your family?
- Do you need to keep Diabetes 2 under 'your control'
- Do you want to stack the odds in your favour that you won't become a diabetic?
- Are you stressed at work or at home?
- Are you short tempered and agitated?
- Do you find it hard to sleep at nights?
- Do you really want to give up smoking this time?
- Are you worried about your heart condition?
- Do you want live a longer, healthier and have more fun in your life?
- Do you want to decrease the odds of some cancers?
- Are you fed up of feeling tired and having no energy?
- Do you have a friend that is carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders (depressed).
- Are you or any member of your family classified as 'obese'?
- Do you need to lose weight for health issues?
What if I told you that the most amazing product in our lifetime has been discovered and it will totally revolutionize the weight loss and health industry forever. It doesn't come in a packet or in a bottle and yet it can help you with all of the above. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg and it is available to all people of all 'walks of life'.
Its 100% guaranteed to improve the quality of your life. You only need to take it once a day and is best washed down with lots of water...
This discovery is simply WALKING - You may of heard the saying that we have been given two ears and one mouth, so we can do more listening than talking, well the same applies to the fact that you are given two legs and one butt ... so we should do more walking than sitting!
Why this sudden surge in walking?
It's actually not a sudden surge, because walking has been around since the legs!! As the saying goes 'You don't know what you got until its taken away from you', (or something similar!) well that applies to walking and physical activity!
Over the years we have progressed with technology - most families have two cars, TV remote controls, automatic garage doors, shop doors open when you approach them and lifts and escalators have all but replaced the stairs. Thanks to computer technology, more time is spent at the office desk sending emails. This increase in Technology has certainly made our lives more efficient but it has also caused us to move our bodies less and less, which has resulted in an increase in issues such as, heart disease, Diabetes 2, many types of cancers, obesity in adults and children, stress, depression and so on. Researchers over many years have put two and two together and got FOUR, this is what their equation looks like;
Modern lifestyle= less physical activity = sickness, illness and death!
What's missing in our modern day lifestyle compared to years ago - Hey you've got it... its walking - when was the last time you walked over to your TV to turn over channels or got out of your car to open your garage door!
Do you remember when you were knee high to a grasshopper and when your folks wanted you out of their hair, they pushed you out the front door and told you to go and play. What do we do with our kids today...we pop down to the local video store (in the car!!) hire a couple of movies and of course the lollies and chips and pop them in front of the TV (with the remote). We wonder why our kids are getting fat!
Obviously times have changed and safety has to be a number one factor with our kids and ourselves, but personally I think this is used more as a convenient excuse than a real reason, please forgive me if I tread on your toes here. Yes, we do live in a world that the kids can no longer jump on their bikes and go to the park by themselves, and yes it is dangerous for both men and women to be out walking after dark in parklands and some streets. But there are solutions. We just have to be willing to find them.
I am passionate about walking, but there is one thing I am more passionate about and that is getting you walking. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart, that's why I (with my business partner) have created this Interactive walking website and development of Walking Challenges and have become Australia's leading resource for Pedometers (Step counters).
Walking is the magic pill that you have been searching for all your life. You have no doubt spent thousands of dollars over the years in your quest for a leaner and more energized body, when all the time it's been right under your nose (literally) your very own two legs.
Walking is the answer to your weight loss and health issues, it's the answer to many, many illnesses that have been created by our society simply due to the lack of physical activity.
Don't become a statistic, start walking today and see for yourself!
