The saying 'we never know what we have until it's gone' is so true. Even when we do not take special things and life for granted, anything Huge can dramatically change a life in just a few seconds. Another line I like is from one of my brother's favorite movies: 'it's the experiences that count; and in the end the experiences are all we have.'

Shortly after the skiing accident I used to wonder why some people never exercise. They have the ability to exercise and better take care of their body, but just never make the effort to get started. I was suffering with excruciating pain, unable to exercise, and physically could not enjoy my favorite sports to the fullest. It took many years of slowly building back up my strength and the ability to ski and inline skate as fast as I want to go anytime. Supplements played a huge part in boosting my health back up to good much faster, but I also had to do my part with continuing to exercise and eating healthy. I think if a person has the physical ability to exercise and keep their body strong, they should make an effort to exercise regularly even if it's just 10 minutes a day a few days a week.

Being physically fit played a tremendously huge role in helping to save my life. We never know when we might have to rely on our physical strength to assist us with life and daily tasks.
