Did you know Mick Jagger is 70?

The guy may have a lot more lines in his face, but he’s still touring like he was in his 20s. Mick has committed to keeping himself in athletic shape to handle the rigors of performing.

Let’s face it. As a dental professional, you’re also a lot like an athlete.

Running a dental practice keeps you on your feet and brings the same physical and mental stress athletes face.

What are you doing to keep yourself conditioned for the pressures of your job?

“Train” lead singer, Pat Monahan, brings a treadmill on tour. He equates being in a band to being a member of a sports team.

Singer Pink (Alecia Beth Moore) lost 55 pounds, and works out 6 days a week to keep herself literally flying through arenas.

So whether you use a microphone, a hockey stick or a hand-piece, now is a great time to consider the ways you can improve your conditioning to be the best at what you do. Like Mick Jagger, you can keep performing like an ageless rockstar!

Key Takeaway

Whether you’re a dentist, a rockstar, or a star athlete, your job can take a huge toll on both your mind and body. Stop thinking like a dentist and start thinking like an athlete! Stay on top of your game; exercise, eat right, and promote a healthy lifestyle in your dental practice.
