Recently I had knee problems, and couldn't believe my knees let me down. I was very frustrated to learn all the things I should have done, but didn't because I didn't know what I didn't know which is the worst of ignorance. Here is something scary but real and true.
The dividend may be the freedom to keep living your life.
We invest in our homes.
We invest our money.
We invest in our education, our careers, and our children's futures.
But there is one investment most of us don't think about until it is too late:
Our legs.
Your legs are carrying you toward your future every single day,and unlike a financial investment, you don't get to withdraw from your leg account whenever you need it.
You live in the body you have built and cared for over the years.
So perhaps it's time to start thinking about your legs differently.
They are not simply as something that gets you from the bedroom to the kitchen, they are way more because your legs are your freedom.
They take you to dinner with friends, and family.
They take you traveling.
They take you dancing.
They take you shopping, hiking, sightseeing, playing with your friends and later with grandchildren, walking along the beach, exploring a new city.
They allow you to say: “Yes, I'd love to go.” True?
You don't need to do something dramatic. Small deposits, made consistently over the years, can create an enormous return.
Your legs were designed to move, Walk, Stretch, Climb stairs, Dance, Swim Whatever movement you enjoy, keep doing it.
You don't have to become an athlete. You simply have to keep moving.
Strong legs aren't only about appearance.
Strength helps you remain capable of doing the things you love as the years pass.
Squats, resistance exercises, walking uphill, and other forms of strength training can become part of your long-term investment strategy.
Start where you are. Build gradually. Stay consistent.
Being able to move is wonderful. Being able to move confidently is even better.
Make stretching, mobility, and balance exercises part of your routine.
Think of them as deposits into your future freedom account.
Your feet are the foundation of everything your legs do.Give them attention.
-Wear comfortable, appropriate footwear.
-Pay attention to persistent discomfort.
-Don't ignore problems that keep coming back.
Your future self may thank you.
And then there is the part we often forget: the skin covering those hardworking legs.
Shaving, waxing, hot showers, dryness, friction, and simple neglect can take a toll on the way our skin looks and feels.
-Give your legs the same consideration you give your face.
-Moisturize and massage your legs gently, it takes only a few minutes at night to care for them. It doesn't have to be complicated.
Imagine yourself years from now.
-Someone invites you on a trip: You don't immediately think, “Can I manage all that walking?”
-Your friends suggest going somewhere: You don't have to stay behind.
-Your family wants to go out: You don't have to find a reason not to,
simply put on your shoes and go.
That is the dividend.
Not perfect legs.
Not eternal youth.
Freedom: just write down how much you do in a day using your legs and calculate how much you will pay someone to just do a fraction of what you do automatically.
There will always be things outside our control as we age. But there are also things we can influence, and taking care of our bodies is one of them.
So don't wait until your legs are asking for attention. Start making small deposits now.
-Move them.
-Strengthen them.
-Stretch them.
-Support them.
-Care for the skin that protects them: Because the greatest return on your investment may not be how your legs look. It may be all the places they still allow you to go.
Invest in your legs today.
Your future self may collect the dividend for years to come.
