  So far we have focused on ways to incorporate the completely rich lifestyle by learning to become mentally sound, learning why we need money, and how to accept others as they are. Each of these focuses on the completely rich lifestyle because as we learn to involve them in our everyday life, they all develop the building blocks to live your life to the fullest.

  Today we learn how, and why being physically active must be a major factor during our existence as human beings. Our bodies were designed to perform many functions that seem like miracles in them selves. For instance, did you hear about the man who, when rock climbing, had an accident that left him being crushed by a 1,000 lb boulder? This is a true story that can easily be found by running a internet based search. The question at stake is, how was a man who weighed under 250lbs able to move a boulder large enough to cover his entire lower body? This small, yet incredible miracle was not miracle what so ever. His body knew that something was not right. He had an adrenaline rush that provided him with the strength and energy to move the stone enough so that his legs could be freed.

  Granted, this man was a regular hiker, who was quite physically active, and in good shape. The recommended physical activity level for adults are at least 60 minutes a day or 90 minutes for weight loss. What does this do? As we age, it helps us to maintain muscle mass, and obtain a lean, strong body. Being physically in shape is much more than feeling confident aesthetically. It carries out regular body functions such as digestion properly. When you are digesting food properly your energy levels raise, and your body is able to function properly. We need physical activity no matter what. Physical activity is what keeps us young. In essence it is the fountain of youth.

  We can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to undo the damage that results from bad habits or aging. Whether it is illness related medical bills, cosmetic surgery, expensive creams, augmentations, or homeopathic remedies, we are wasting money when we do not have to. By being physically active each and every day of our life we put aging on hold, speed up our metabolism, and give off the radiance of a confident person. Exercising is the fountain of youth, and it does not have to be boring or strenuous. Find what you like!

  Ricardo and I are regular hikers, and are always searching for new mountains to tackle. You too can get a loved involved with something you both enjoy, and this I promise, will not feel like an exercise routine. Try yoga, bike ride, play with your children, go ice skating, or go for a simple walk. Don’t think you have time to do all of this? It takes as little as 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes during the day to increase physical activity levels. Try parking your car further in a parking lot, scan the grocery store once, and then go back and actual pick up the items you want, make a mental list of what you will wear tomorrow and what your day will be like as you go for a 10 minute walk around the neighborhood. Anything counts, and everything matters.

The fountain of youth is at your doorstep, it is up to you whether you take it or leave it.
