Erik's Weekly Fitness Tip: Pay Now Or Pay Later

taxes
 

Have you paid your taxes yet? No, I’m not talking about how much you owe Uncle Sam. I'm talking about what you owe your body.

Just like you should be withholding tax from every pay check (so you don't end up owing the IRS), you should be strength training, doing cardio and eating right every day (so you don't end up fat, sick, and nearly dead.)

While strength training helps your body bank muscle for later years, eating healthy will help you stay lean and avoid high blood pressure and cholesterol. Put in the hard work now, and you will reap the benefits for years to come. 

What better way to destress from number crunching and calculator punching than with an intense full-body workout?

Erik's Weekly Fitness Tip: I Give Up

giving up
 

I regret to inform you that this will be my last fitness tip I ever write. I just cannot do this anymore; the daily exercise, the eating “clean”, the upbeat outlook on life. I’ve never been so tired in all my life. 

Squats? Never again.

Cardio? Hell, no.

Lean protein and veggies? Yeah right.

From here on out it’s only going to be pizza, ice cream, and beer going down this pie hole. While this may come a shock for all of you—it’s something I have been thinking about for quite some time. Thirty years of eating healthy and working out has made me a bitter person on the inside and out. I’m looking forward to finally being myself…..

HAPPY EARLY APRIL FOOL’S DAY :)

Be careful what you read or hear tomorrow!
