The Dumbbell Side Lateral Raises

Barring any unavoidable and unexpected disease such as Alteimer’s or Parkinson’s, most people allow their bodies to physically deteriorate and become what most people would call “old” and decrypted.  (You know what I’m talking about – the image of the little gray-haired lady or man, bent over, thin, emaciated, with wrinkly and hanging skin and muscles, pushing a walker or treading along slowly and carefully by using a walking cane for forward locomotion.)  This same person could be likened as well to someone who has spent his or her entire life working and earning a living, and who after 40 or more years in the work force, has done nothing to prepare him or herself for the later years by  saving or investing their money along the way.  Thus they arrive at what should be the “golden years” but arrive instead broke and dependent upon family, friends and/or social institutions for survival, sustenance and welfare.  These are called our “elderly”.

You Must Be A Visionary When It Comes To Your Body and Your Life

What do I mean by this?  Well, just as it says in the Good Book “Where there is no vision, the people perish”, you must have enough vision, though some would even call this “common sense”, to see into the future and know that you must prepare for both the possibility of a reduction in your earning power if your only means to earn has been through working at a 9 to 5 job , and you must have the vision to prepare for a natural decline in your physical prowess as well usually after the age of 50 by starting to save your health, that is, save yourself from certain physical deterioration and decline by initiating asap, as in right now, a daily and conscientious program of clean, nutritious eating and a regimen of exercise via progressive weight resistance.  Notice I didn’t say by just jogging, or doing yoga, or practicing pilates.  I said progressive weight resistance which means the regular, gradual, systematic, guided and scientific use of barbells and dumbbells to strengthen, sculpt, shape, fortify and to forever rejuvenate your body.

Planning Is The Key

Let me say this.  If you carefully save, invest and plan for your later years when you stop working a 9 to 5, you should never have to retire broke, dependent or destitute, if you do it properly and if you start right now if you have not already done so.  Likewise, you will never have to end up “old” as most people stereotypically believe themselves to one day have to become if you also start now if you haven’t already done so into a committed, dedicated and passionate program of correct eating and progressive weight resistance to stop the aging process, turn back the hands of time and to add, literally, years and years of quality health and vibrancy to the rest of your life.
