As most of you at the school may know, I will turn 40 in April of this year. Part of my celebration of this event was to have a complete physical check-up. I am told this is a very important thing to get done at the age of 40 and to do yearly after that. It's an event for me because I don't get to do it often. As a matter of fact, I had not had one since I was a teenager. So off I went to get it done. As I was going through each test, I would ask the person giving the test how I was doing. I felt I was doing OK because I have always been very active in the martial arts but I did not expect to be told I was in "excellent" health. I was a little taken back when the doctor told me I had the heart of an Olympic athlete. I have chosen to share this experience to make a point. Martial arts not only give you the opportunity to train yourself for strength just as well as aerobic fitness, it also develops the mindset to strive to improve your diet, your mental attitude and your overall outlook. All of which combined can get you ready for the 40th, 50th, 60th birthday in good form
As always thank you for your support! Train Hard and Finish Strong!
