I’ve never been overweight, BUT just because a person is not overweight does not mean that they are healthy or in shape. At 32 with three kids I was not healthy or in shape even though my outward appearance looked that way. I was tired most of the time and never felt really good. When I went in for a check up the doctor mentioned a small procedure that I might consider having done, and other medications to help. I decided to think about it and talk it over with my husband.
Luckily in the few weeks I did think about it my sister, who was already a HealthMiles member, introduced me to Virgin HealthMiles. After visiting the website with her it was like a light bulb went off in my head. I needed to take back control of my life. I signed up and started moving. First by walking which made me feel so much better. I picked it up even more and started running, swimming, dancing, weight lifting, and other exercises. AND GUESS WHAT??? There was no longer a need for the procedure or any medication.
Now almost 2 years later I feel better than I have in a long time. It is amazing how just getting up 30 minutes early to exercise can improve a person’s day. Thank you Virgin HealthMiles!
