{{contact.first_name}}, saving for retirement and working on fitness are incredibly similar.
In both cases, you are taking clear action every day to accomplish a big goal. And the rewards are spectacular.
I’ll lay it out for you.
What if you saved and invested $10 a day, or $300 a month? That’s $3,600 a year. You keep adding to that pile every month, and let’s say you get a six percent return. In 20 years, you’ll have about $140,000, with about $67,000 coming from interest.
Compound interest is a magical thing, especially when you combine it with time and patience.
Fitness is exactly the same.
Let’s say you work out four times a week for about an hour. That’s 208 hours of focused training in a year.
If you’re doing the right things in those hours, here’s a non-exhaustive list of benefits:
- You’ll get stronger.
- You’ll get faster.
- You’ll be able to generate more power.
- You’ll increase stamina and endurance.
- You’ll become more flexible.
- You’ll improve balance, agility and accuracy.
- You’ll positively affect a host of health markers and reduce your risk of disease.
- You’ll improve mental health and develop confidence.
With every workout, you’ll “put some money in the fitness account.” You’re investing.
Here’s what I mean: You’ll be doing everything you can to live a great life, avoid negative health outcomes and maintain independence long into old age. As you improve your body and mind in each training session, you’ll build an ever-increasing buffer of fitness and health that will help you live well.
If you trip and fall, you’ll be less likely to injure yourself. If you want to climb a mountain, you’ll be able to do that. If you want to thrive in sport, you’ll have the physical tools to do it—and you’ll be able to enjoy your sport for longer. If you get sick, you’ll bounce back faster, and you won’t have to worry about a host of conditions related to inactivity.
If you want to age well, investing in your fitness is the best thing you can do, just as saving today is an essential part of retirement planning.
If you’re already working out, I want to congratulate you on investing for the future.
If you aren’t working out right now, I want to tell you that it’s never too late to start. Health and fitness can be improved at any age, and they improve relatively quickly if you have help from an experienced coach who can tell you exactly what to do to get results.
I’m not a financial expert, but I am a fitness expert. I’d love to talk to you about a plan that will help you live the way you want to live for decades. If you start this week, think where you’ll be in a year. And then think where you’ll be in 20 or 30 years.
The rewards of investing in health and fitness are rich—and you can have them for just three or four hours a week.
