Survival Of The Fit

James Burnette 169 Comments

Today’s post might piss off some of you. Before you go off just thinking,  that James guy is a dick, let my words sink in. Im not here to put anyone down, I want to us all to be lifted up. Today I’m talking about weight loss and physical fitness.  Especially since healthcare and the Obamacare tax is a hot topic these days. It’s been my main concern in prepping lately. I know many don’t see health and fitness as a prep, and they are dead wrong. Literally. Neglecting a huge facet of survival, one which many others rely on, could be the last mistake you make. Today I’m going to go over some reasons why you might want to shore up this hole in your plan and how to go about doing that.

There are some very good reasons why you should too. I’ll also tell you how taking breaks from most things brings you back with a stronger passion.
