People ask me all the time why I continue to run 100-Mile races and compete in Strongman competitions. I tell them, "to just challenge myself, to see what this human body is capable of doing." It's not for the glory or the ego or to say "look at me." I believe that the human body was meant to be challenged and tested and pushed. It was not meant to sit behind a desk all day punching a key board while grazing on fast food.
I know at times it can be difficult to motivate ourselves. And I know it is something that we all have inside but just need to find. I like to call it, "the fire inside." Think about this for a second. Is inactivity and unhealthy eating a way of life for you? Are you happy with your current fitness level? Would you like to make a healthy change? If the answer is yes, then do something about it.
Set a realistic goal. Make a serious promise with yourself to take back control of your life. It is your life and doesn't belong to Playstation, McDonalds or Lipitor.
