Since
the first living creature limped out of the
primordial ooze and began inhabiting the earth's land
masses, preservation of life has been a
primary instinct of earth's earliest inhabitant's,
and perhaps the first reasoned goal of the
intelligent creatures that followed. Today,
preservation of one's life, for as long as possible,
and in a manner where one is able to enjoy the
greatest quality of life possible, remains, maybe
more than ever, the singular goal of human existence.
More so today than perhaps ever before, much of society is obsessed with a consciousness of health, not seen previously. Large numbers of people today are addicted to bottled water, gym workouts, low-fat foods, and artificial sweeteners, as never before.

But, succeeding in these areas, as everyone knows, is much easier said than done. Thus, a self-help culture has evolved, whereby so-called experts, from Dr. Atkins to Dr. Phil, instruct the common man on how to live his life. Some of these life Gurus have the expertise and ability to make a difference, but many are little more than charlatans, getting rich off of the hopes, and dollars, of others.

Health care workers agree that a healthy lifestyle
requires exercise. But, what is correct for you? What
type of exercise? How much exercise? How do you
determine the right answers to these questions?
Well, you could watch a Richard Simmons video, or walk into a high-priced gym and sign a 2-year contract to let group of strangers inflict unknown and unbearable exercise regimens upon your person. Rather than talking one of these paths, a better alternative would be to take a look at the Mayo Clinic Tools for Healthy Living website. The most important 10 minutes you may spend this year could be reading their Seven specific ways exercise can improve your life. Their bottom line inducement to "getting physical" is that above all else, remember that exercise can be fun. Exercise does not have to be boring and tedious calisthenics, but it can be ballroom dancing. It doesn't have to be 4 solitary laps around a high school track, it can be a neighborhood touch football game. As they say at the Mayo Clinic, "find an activity you enjoy, and go for it." If it doesn't work for you, try something different tomorrow.
