What Is Healthspan? AND HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE IT
If you’re retired or about to retire, you have a new and exciting life ahead of you. You may plan to travel the world, start a home project, or adopt a pet. Whatever you decide to do in your retirement, it’s essential to ensure you have as much time to enjoy it as possible.
any activity, but ensure that your weekly exercises
are well- rounded
So, how do you make it last?
and include at least one exercise in each category.
The best way to ensure you get the most out of your life after retiring is to focus on improving your healthspan. While your lifespan is how long you live, your healthspan is how long you can do things independently with complete physical and cognitive ability. Your healthspan also impacts the quality of life left in your lifespan, and the more you invest in it, the more you can enjoy your sunset years to their fullest.
HOW MUCH YOU INVEST MATTERS. We all get busy, that much is true, but how much time you invest in your health makes a difference in how much you get on the return. Ideally, you want to exercise in one of the previously mentioned categories for 30 minutes daily. If your schedule is slammed, and exercise seems impossible to fit in, try to exercise at a higher intensity (at a level where you cannot hold a conversation during it) for at least 15 minutes a day for roughly the same results. Investing in a well-rounded exercise routine with consistent time durations can improve your healthspan for many years. While the amount of time you have left is important, the quality of that time undoubtedly matters too. When you invest in your healthspan, you’re investing in your independence!
Here’s what you can do to invest in your health now to get the highest return in the future.
INVEST IN ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR FITNESS. Exercise is always an excellent investment for a healthier life, but to increase your healthspan, you’ll need to invest in all facets of your fitness, not just cardio. To diversify your health investments, focus on strength, power (how much energy you can output in a short time), balance, flexibility, and cardio. You can accomplish this through
Here’s What I Learned Along the Way I’m Officially a Bestselling Author!
I can hardly believe it: It’s been an entire year since I published “The Generational Wealth System: A Holistic Approach to Preserving Your Wealth and Legacy”! It still feels surreal. To celebrate, I thought I’d reflect on my whirlwind authorship experience by answering a few FAQs about my book. ‘HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TO NO. 1 ON THE BESTSELLER LIST?’ Let’s be honest, I couldn’t have done it without the support of my clients, friends, family, and community. I think getting the word out before my book’s release helped it move up the charts in several Amazon categories. While new releases by Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman around the same time made it a challenge in some categories, I still made it to #1 in a few others. ‘WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY IF YOU REWROTE THE BOOK?’ I’d probably change the title. My book emphasizes teaching people to take care of themselves first through wealth management and retirement planning. The current title is accurate because that approach creates a system of abundance with enough left over for the next generation. However, I think it gives the impression my book is just for the extremely wealthy.
Often when I mention the book, the initial reaction from people is that they are more interested in a secure retirement and minimizing their tax burden, first and foremost. Those are actually the exact issues my book covers! A different title might have helped get that message across. If I write another version, I may title it “Why Settle for a Retirement Plan?” ‘WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE FEATURED ON FAMOUS TALK SHOWS?’ Well, I haven’t been on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” or “Dr. Phil,” but I did have the pleasure of appearing on Calvert & Metzler Funeral Homes locally famous show, “In the Community” hosted by Chad Sparks! Chad is a great friend and a charismatic host. You have got to see this one! McBeathFinancial.com/Sparks ‘WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE BOOK?’ I plan to host workshops and webinars based on my book. In the meantime, we’re offering FREE Lifestyle and Legacy Gift Boxes that make it easy for you to share the book’s message!
