Although working out regularly is important to keep fit and healthy, it is not necessarily true that people who go to the gym earn more money than couch potatoes.

A similar example from my life is my training in Karate. With each new belt I earned, I was promoted to a new level of responsibility at work. Then I let life issues get in the way and I quite training, my career and life floundered. I'm now back and my current goal is to earn both my Black Belt and my PhD when I am 50! Absolutely true!
