Whose dash is it anyway?

It's all about the dash.

After posting my last blog, several members told me about their favorite songs to work out to. It seems the soundtracks of our lives are also key to maintaining interest and motivation at the gym.

One song that struck me was by Jon Bon Jovi called 'It's My Life,' a motivating tune that claims while life's not meant to go on forever, it is meant to be lived to the fullest, and on one's own terms.

The song got me thinking about a story I once heard about how we measure our lives. When our lives end, our birthday and the day of our death are listed with a dash in between. Our lives are essentially that dash - and what we do with the dash is up to us.

For over 30 years I've led a team of people whose mission has been to make regular exercise a permanent part of your life - doing everything we can to make your dash the best it can be.

We know we can't cheat death, but we do want to make sure we don't cheat ourselves out of living a good life. Together, we're redefining how to live long, happy, healthy lives, together.

As the song says:
It's my life
It's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

To the next 50 years, and your dash!

Mike
