I wanted to write a quick post and remind everyone to find the time to PLAY… today I went to a field and played catch with a friend of mine. We brought our gloves, a softball, a bat and just played around for an hour or so. We tossed the ball around, did a little batting and fielding, and just had FUN. I told him that it’d been ages since I’d picked up a softball or baseball and just played at a field. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. It brought me back to my childhood days of playing pick-up baseball, soccer, street hockey, and kickball games with the neighborhood kids. Back then, we’d be outside from sun-up till sundown running around; our exercise was not a chore, it was part of our fun and play.
Today was a great reminder to me that exercise and working out needs to be FUN. Sure, there are things that we dislike but are integral parts of our workout (think Burpees, sprints, squat jumps), but the majority of the things we do to stay fit should be enjoyable! I wanted to share this with you in time for you to have some FITNESS FUN this weekend. Enjoy the weather and get back to your childhood roots. Pick up that old baseball, basketball, soccer ball, tennis racket, etc. Call a friend or family member and tell them to meet you at the local park. Just play around and have FUN!
