Maverick Strength offers five ways to make money through exercise: better mental acuity, increased energy and immunity, health-care savings
1. Better Mental Acuity
Exercise has been shown in numerous studies to improve cognitive ability. Dr. John Ratey demonstrates in his book “Spark” how exercise helps improve focus, fight depression, and make better decisions. A sharp mind gives a professional the ability to think through projects, and it gives the entrepreneur the room to develop new ideas or create a new revenue stream.
2. Increased Energy and Immunity
According to research reported in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, those who exercise frequently are more productive at work than those who don’t. These same people take fewer sick days. Physical fitness increases immunity while lowering many serious health risks. Absences can result in lost opportunities for advancement and a lower income, as well as decreased productivity. Employers tend to have a negative opinion of those who are frequently unemployed.
According to a study published in the Journal of Labor Research, men who exercise frequently earn an average of 6% more than their sedentary counterparts. The figures are higher for women. Women who work out regularly make 10 percent more on average than those who don’t!
3. Health-Care Savings
According to a 2012 study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, people who exercise regularly can save $2,500 annually.
Taking this a step further, we frequently witness people at Maverick stop taking medications on their doctor’s advice because their symptoms have vanished. This usually occurs after you achieve your fitness and body composition objectives.
Here are some instances of 30-day doses of medication that cost:
- $36 to $600 for statins
- Metformin (extended): $1,200 to $235
- Xanax – $60-$100.
Despite having health insurance, the majority of people still pay co-pays for these medications.
4. Reductions in Clothing Costs
You might save money on clothing. Between the ages of 20 and 50, the average adult will gain about 2 lbs. annually! This means that a lot of us have two sets of clothes that are one or two sizes smaller in our closets in addition to the ones we currently wear. We notice that our clients lose weight or have their clothing fit them better when they are consistent and develop healthy nutritional habits. One warning: You won’t be purchasing larger clothing, but you might spend more on the smaller sizes. But if you continue to exercise, they’ll probably fit indefinitely!
5. Reduced Fast-Food Costs
Fast food is consumed three times per week by 70% of Americans. Fast food meals account for 1 in every 16 calories for Canadians. Considering that meals typically cost $12.50 each. Planning ahead and preparing wholesome, nutrient-dense meals and snacks at home can reduce that number in half for our clients who are trying to develop healthy eating habits. An average weekly savings of $18 equates to a savings of $936 annually.
