Happy New Year!

2,600,000

Think about how much that number represents. If you were to try to count to 2,600,000, at one number per second, 24 hours per day, it would take you over 30 days. If you were to limit yourself to 40 hours per week, it would take you 18 weeks. And you really would have nothing to show for it.

On the other hand, if you walked 10,000 steps per day five days per week, you would also reach 2,600,000. In that case, it would be 2,600,000 steps. If you began the year as a non-exerciser, you would have improved your fitness level. That’s quite an accomplishment.

Or pick a smaller number: 6,500. If you did 25 crunches a day five days a week, you’d have 6,500 crunches and a maybe less fat under your belt this time next year, and more than likely you’d have less lower back pain.

No matter what your health goal or goals are, just a little effort every day can bring you huge results. It really depends on one question that you ask yourself every day:

What am I prepared to do today?
