"A Mind, Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"...and so is our Body!

I'm sure some of you remember the old TV College Ad..."a mind, is a terrible thing to waste", don't you? Yes, and that Ad should have prompted ALL of us to improve our education, daily. Did we do it? I'm sure some of us did. However, what about our body? Isn't our body, "a terrible thing to waste" too? As much as we need to improve our minds with the proper education, we certainly need to improve our bodies too, if we are to enjoy fully, the financial rewards of being an ACRE.

Yes, I KNOW, that this site is not a site about health and fitness. Yet, if we as ACREs, are going to do our best at being the best ACREs we can be, then we need to be mindful of our physical condition as well as our financial condition. For those of US, who are "over 55" already, it is very important, if we intend on living to "a ripe old age".

I believe very strongly, that a positive mental attitude is influenced greatly by our physical condition, and vice versa. They always, always, go together. They compliment each other. It makes it harder to be "positive" and "successful" if one is "out of shape". 

Even the great, great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, acknowledged and even documented, right in one of his CDs, that he had "gotten" overweight and needed to do something about it, and quickly. He did. He began to walk, then jog, and finally run, further and further, until he got down to a healthy weight.

I have been a physical fitness enthusiast most of my life, and it has paid off. I am here for the ACRE members, if they have any questions about improving their physical well being. We are a "family" here, and we can all help one another.
