I used to be fat and unhealthy..

When I started working after graduation, I had to sit at the office all day long

🦴 I started to develop back pain

So when I joined Michael Page, one of our staff benefits is that we are entitled to our annual body check (Thank you Page!)

At age 24, I had my first thorough body check 

And I was diagnosed with osteopenia (Loss of bone density) at AGE 24!!

☀️ Because I am Vitamin D, calcium and Iron deficient (Not sure if it’s inherited)

So I panicked and asked doctor for help

Turns out if you want to have healthier bones

- You need to do weight training 

- Take more calcium 

- Absorb more day light 

🧘‍♀️ Hence I took up exercising such as weight training and yoga

After several years, my bone density improved but it was still on the verge of osteopenia 

But I have observed that exercising is quite similar to our career

1. You need to do something long enough to see results (Consistency + Discipline)

2. Resistance is a must for growth 

(I need to lift heavier weights to increase my bone density - If I keep lifting the same weight, it will not improve my osteopenia problem)

I highly encourage you to take time out to do a body check (if your company insurance allows it or pay to do a simple body check)!

💡 How has exercise taught you about life or career in general?
