21 Reasons to be Grateful for Living a Fit Life

Living a fit life isn’t just about looking great. It’s also about feeling great! Fitness transfers to nearly every part of your life, and it’s well worth the effort you’ll put in.

Reasons to be Grateful for Living a Fit Life

 1. I’m sick a lot less often. Since I chose to start living a fit life, I’ve found that I’m overall healthier, which means fewer sick days at work.

2. I feel better on a daily basis. I move more smoothly and can better engage in a wide range of activities.

3. I’m able to save money. Not only are there snacks and treats that I’m able to save money by not buying, but by keeping myself healthier, I don’t have to spend as much on doctors or medications.

4. I get to eat great food that makes me feel good at the same time. I’m not just eating whatever is in front of me; instead, I get to eat food that genuinely tastes better.

5. I look and feel great in my clothes. I love getting dressed–and even get to enjoy trying on new clothes.

6. My confidence has increased. I feel better prepared for many different activities and am more comfortable trying new things.

7. I can do things, physically speaking, that I might never have imagined that I could do before I became more fit and active.

8. Working out and moving my body is a pleasure, a gift I give myself, instead of something that I hate doing and dread.

9. I’ve been able to reach milestones that I formerly thought were out of reach, pushing my body to do new things instead of sitting around on the couch.

10. Overall, junk food is less tempting than it used to be. I’m able to walk away from food that isn’t good for my body more easily than before.

11. I feel better about myself when I make good choices, rather than constantly beating myself up for bad ones. Even when I have a splurge day or take a day to rest, I know that I’m not sacrificing my body or my goals, because I’ll be right back on track tomorrow.

12. I’m far less stressed. Exercise helps lower my stress levels on a daily basis and helps prevent me from being as stressed as before.

13. I sleep better at night, especially when I exercise regularly and at the right time.

14. I know my body better. As a result, I’m better able to recognize potential issues, including warning signs that I’m getting sick, risking an injury, or becoming too stressed.

15. My skin is healthier and looks brighter.

16. I’ve noticed a difference in my hair and nails: they’re longer, grow stronger, and have a better shine than they did before I decided to get healthy and fit.

17. I generally feel happier than I did before I decided to get fit. My moods are better and more stable, and I’m less likely to lose my temper or feel depressed.

18. I have more energy, not just to tackle exercise, but to handle the tasks that I have to do every day.

19. My mind is clearer, and I feel better able to deal with potential problems.

20. It can improve my sex life. That’s motivation enough!

21. I will likely live longer, since physical activity and fitness can improve longevity.

Health and fitness have a number of key advantages, both in everyday life and for my overall health. I’ve found that the benefits of fitness are well worth the effort that I’ve put into the task–and I hope you’ll find that when you join me in this journey, you’ll experience those advantages of a fit life, too.
