If there is one habit through which I have learned valuable lessons, it has been through exercise.
Since I was very little I have had contact with sports. My parents have been the protagonists, they enrolled us (my brother and I) in all the activities there were and to be had; I trained in different disciplines, field tennis, horse riding, basketball, volleyball, artistic gymnastics, dance and I even told my parents that I would be like CHECHI BAENA (Colombian world skating champion) and I would be a great skater (what I wanted most were those perfect inline skates and seeing myself skating like a pro), well I tell you that I lasted about 3 years in this sport and when my skates were stolen it was the perfect excuse to stop (the training sessions began to be on weekends at 5 :30 am and at that time I was not willing to "sacrifice" those hours of sleep ")
I have been very good at sport, however I never really felt that calling to be an athlete or a medalist, sport simply came into my life as a tool that my parents instilled in me and that today when I write these lines I realize the great treasure and the invaluable inheritance they have given me. THANK YOU DADDY AND MOMMY FOR HAVING CULTIVATED THIS HABIT IN ME, especially for forcing me to go to many of the training sessions despite my tantrums and my excuses, that has shaped a large part of who I am TODAY.
Precisely because of all the benefits that I enjoy now, I want to share with you my 10 most powerful reasons for you too to include exercise in your daily life and obtain great rewards in your life. Keep in mind that it is never too late and the perfect time is NOW.
