Use it or one day you'll lose it!
🤸♀️ Its easy to take things for granted.
🤸♀️ Let's take waking up in your bed and standing up for instance. Balancing upright, on two feet, without falling over.
For some this is a miracle.
🤸♀️ In our daily lives, getting up to go to a job and driving to work seem ordinary that we take for granted.
🤸♀️ It is only when we get bedridden, or too sick or injured and we lose our precious capabilities that we begin to realise how awesome it is to be simply moving.
🤸♀️ This amazing gift of movement is worth using to it's full potential. Use it to try new things and get moving. Get off the couch and away from the tv as much as you can. Learn a sport or join the gym.
Express gratitude and look after your amazing body. It's worth more than anything you'll ever buy.
