Increase Your Earnings and Stay in Shape
It’s not new information, studies have shown that healthier, physically fit people, tend to make more than their less healthy peers. I came across this Men’s Health Article this morning. I think it is not only important from a career/salary stand point but from an overall health standpoint. We are becoming less healthy, and a sedentary office job doesn’t help any. Get up, get moving, eat well and take care of yourself. Not only will you live longer, but you’ll make more money and be able to enjoy those extra years of retirement even more. Happy Friday my friends! Get out and enjoy the outdoors this weekend!
