High Standards of Fitness in the Military
It’s not denying that people in the military, overall, are very fit. This is mainly due to the months of boot camp training as well as years of self discipline. While researching on how to retire early, I came across some info about vitamins and read some Herbalife reviews about taking vitamins to help the body stay healthy. I somehow ended up reading an article about how many people who used to be in the military, once they get out, lose their discipline.
The article goes on to talk about how for most people in the military, the standards that they set for themselves and live by are the highest while they’re still in the service. The reason why the standards decline once they leave is because their environment changes. When they were still in the service, they were surrounded by people with the same high standards. Since it was the norm, staying disciplined and working out and eating right to stay fit was easy. Once they got out, they were surrounded with people with lower expectations of themselves in terms of fitness and discipline. So basically what the article was saying is that if you want to make sure you stay fit and healthy, surround yourself with people who already live the kind of lifestyle that it takes to be fit and healthy.
