By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The benefits of exercise go far beyond physiological and psychological improvements. Achieving your fitness goals can fundamentally change you as a person, and it can help you overcome your fears and weaknesses.

#2 We are creatures of habit, and we all have deeply ingrained daily patterns of behavior. These habits are useful, but they can also be destructive. They cut both ways. Thinking dim thoughts does not make things happen.

#3 The first benefit of staying fit is that it teaches you habit mastery. It takes patience to establish new habits, but once you do, they become automatic and feel just as natural as the old ones.

#4 Effort is the key to success. It takes hard work and dedication to achieve anything of value, whether it’s a good family, a good career, or a good social life.

The benefits of exercise go far beyond physiological and psychological improvements. Achieving your fitness goals can fundamentally change you as a person, and it can help you overcome your fears and weaknesses.

The first benefit of staying fit is that it teaches you habit mastery. It takes patience to establish new habits, but once you do, they become automatic and feel just as natural as the old ones.

#4

Effort is the key to success. It takes hard work and dedication to achieve anything of value, whether it’s a good family, a good career, or a good social life.
