Rich Roll is an “Ultraman.” Around age 40, he was out of shape and unhappy. He decided to change his lifestyle and establish a long term wellness plan. At 42, he competed in the Ultraman World Championships (6.2 miles of swimming, 260 miles of cycling and a 52.4-mile double marathon run – all over 3 days). Here are some of his words [full article here]:
“I don’t care how busy you are. I don’t care how old you are, how many kids you have or how little time you think you have. The power rests within yourself to enact any change in your life you desire. And I can say this because I have seen it happen in myself and countless others.”
“I’m nothing special. I’m not a professional athlete. I’m just a normal family guy. But if I could experience such a vast transformation in my own life, I know with certainty that everybody has within himself the power to enact his own well-balanced transformation.”
“Change is never easy. And despite what you may see advertised, I’m sorry to say there is no secret diet, mystery pill or overnight miracle that will do it for you. But there is a solution.”
Rich Roll was recently named one of the “25 Fittest Guys in the World” by Men’s Fitness. Read more of Rich’s words here.
We don’t have to become an Ironman, or Ultraman, but we can decide to change and get healthier. Today is a good day to start.
