We are able to live long given optimal health, fitness and nutrition conditions. Check this out;

Richard G. Cutler at the Gerontology Research Center, Baltimore City Hospital, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health has calculated the maximum life span for about 150 extinct mammalian species, and has also assessed the genetic potentials and traced the progress of the evolution of the Maximum Potential Lifespan of man.

The first truly human species was Homo habilis which emerged from Australopithecus africanus about 1.8 million years ago. Homo Sapiens evolved about 100,000 years ago. The Maximum Potential Life Span of our species was increasing at a very fast rate until about 100,000 years ago when the increase suddenly stopped, and has since remained fixed at about 120 years.

Are you providing your body with optimal fitness and nutrition conditions such that you can live as expected?

When I meet initially with my prospective clients, I ask them why they want a personal trainer.  Here are some of the reasons I get: coaching to eat right and lose weight,  guidance for an effective workout routine for MY body,  coaching to understand appropriate cardio training, motivation to adapt an active lifestyle of exercise, and accountability to adhere to a healthy lifestyle.  Then, I ask them why this is important and here are the answers: need control of my life,  improved health, to be able to play (dance, ski, golf, etc.),  improved stamina and strength to perform daily activities and work, and to feel more confident about myself.  CAN YOU RELATE?
