Mind Challenge

It’s not all about will power, it’s your why power which will give you the will power!
Did you Know?
Exercise as a medicine is nothing new, even Hippocrates said that: “Eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise. For food and exercise… work together to produce health.” This has later been consistently backed up by scientific research.
‘This relationship has been further defined by years of scientific research that shows a clear correlation between physical activity and health status. That is, those individuals who maintain an active and fit way of life live longer and healthier lives than those who do not. This association between physical activity and health persists in virtually every subgroup of the population, regardless of age, sex, race or environmental condition.’
