How To Get Through Tough Economic Times And Market Conditions

The past week has been crazy. The current state of the economy is looking pretty bleek. What are we to do?

With the given market condition there must be something we can do quickly to fix this?

There's gotta be something...anything.

Well, I'm not a big numbers and finance guy. I don't pay attention to the stock ticker on TV. I don't get email updates regarding my portfolio. And I certainly don't freak out when the media makes a big hoopla about market changes. But at the same time, I don't stick my head in the sand and ignore it either.

Why am I talking to you about the current state of our economy and the market?

No, I'm not going to be giving out top secret investment advice. But it is a great analogy to your health and fitness.

Earlier this week I was giving a nutrition consultation t0 a client. She owns a business in the home building and development industry. She should be fearing the end of times right now. Recession even, gulp, depression should be on her mind, right?

Wrong.

It's not at all! In fact, business is booming. She's busier today then she was a year ago! Her point to me was this; "The sky is NOT falling." We are where we were 10 years ago. For example, if you buy a house today, you have to be able to afford it. Doesn't sound like the sky is falling in that situation does it? As much as anyone in the housing industry wants a magic bullet, it doesn't exist.

And so it goes with your health and fitness.

What is the market condition of your health and fitness?

Are you a little overweight and out of shape? Are you UNcomfortable in your body? Has there been a downturn in your market?

Take a good honest look at YOUR market.

And I'll say it again. There is no magic bullet to pull you out of the hard times.

So what do you do?

Back to Basics

You go back to the basics.

Start with your diet. You must clean up your diet. Stop eating out so much. Cut out the refined carbs and sugars. Start eating more fruits and vegetables. Eat lean meats. Supplement properly to fill any voids in your diet. And most definitely start eating breakfast!

But don't stop there. That's only half the battle. Now get your butt in gear. You've got to use it to lose it. Exercise 3 to 5 times per week. Both weight resistance and cardiovascular forms should be done.

Going Back to Basics is and always will be the answer. There is NO magic bullet. There is NO quick fix. Continue to search as you may, you will never find it.

Get started now and turn YOUR (health and fitness) market condition around. You have the power. All you have to do is make the choice. Start by choosing a complimentary fitness and nutrition consultation by clicking here. There's no obligation and no cost to you. It's my way of helping you through these rough (health and fitness) market conditions.

To your health,
