Keep on Walkin’

How much would you pay me for a pill that would help you avoid Alzheimer’s and dementia?  What would you do to be able to live a quality life, a little longer?  What would you pay me to take away your knee pain?  What if I told you I found something that could relieve discouragement and moderate depression?  What if you knew it would reduce your risk for many cancers, heart disease and diabetes?  Would you buy it?

Great news!  I’ve found the magic bullet! And its free!

What’s your health worth?

I would exercise if I had more time…

I wish I could afford a fitness program…

jump rope 2Common lamentations from those who wish they were in better shape.  How much is your health worth?  How much does it cost?

According to the American Heart Association, those who exercise live on average seven years longer than those who don’t, not to mention, improved QUALITY of life.  Look at exercise as an investment-every hour you spend exercising you will have returned to you and more!  So stop making excuses and make time.

But I can’t afford it!  Sam Maloof, the greatest woodworker of all time has a canoe hanging from his ceiling in his house turned museum in Alta Loma, CA.  It was a gift from a young man that had spent time with Sam and had learned woodworking skills from him.  He called him one day and asked for help, for no one was buying his $25,000 hand carved canoes.  Sam told him that he wasn’t charging enough.  He raised the price to $100,000 and couldn’t keep up with the orders.  As a token of gratitude, he gave one to his old friend.

What does this have to do with health and exercise?  We all want a good deal.  But will signing up for the $9.99 gym membership really get you the results you want and need?  The more you pay for something, the more you will value it, and the more others will value it as well.

Our challenge is we want to help as many people as possible by keeping our amazing program affordable.  But at the same time, we recognize how invaluable F6 can be in your life.  If you don’t value your health, you won’t invest in it, or guard it.  So we’ve found a happy medium in our pricing, keeping it affordable for the masses, but putting a price tag on it that says “this is an amazing program and worth every penny!”

Encourage a Friend

Mark Twain once said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment”.

Research shows that 98% of workers feel like they perform better when they receive a compliment at work, yet only 40% of workers say they receive any recognition for a job well done.  Limited praise and recognition is a key factor in employee dissatisfaction and turnover.  Ignoring opportunities to give positive feedback to friends and associates is denying them opportunities for success.  If we expect and encourage others to succeed, they probably will.

Positive feedback affects us emotionally and physically.  Have you ever participated in a distance race where the street was lined with people cheering you on?  The pain goes away, and you push forward.  I’ll never forget a comment I heard while running my first Ironman.  It had been a long day, and I was sore.  The spectators had been encouraging all day with generic cheers of “Way to Go!”  and “You are amazing!”  and “Keep up the Good Work!”.  But a personal, sincere comment from a stranger appreciating my speed in spite of my large stature, made all the difference.  I was about to walk, but I kept running for him.  I’ll never forget him. st george ironman spectators

Pay attention to those around you.  The more you believe in people, the more good you will see, and the more opportunities you will have to encourage and inspire.  Teach this to your family to multiply its effect.  Just make sure you are sincere.  Everyone can see through a phony.  Be credible.  Be kind.  Genuinely care and make a difference today!
