If You Dig It, You’ll Do It
I don’t know how many different ways there are to say it, but fitness should be fun. Just to prime your pump, here’s an example. This post is being done from the Denver airport after two days of hiking in the Rocky Mountains National Park.
I wasn’t slogging along on a treadmill watching the timer to see how much longer I needed to go. I wasn’t trying to “get fit.” I wasn’t worried about “getting my workout in.”
But guess what. Without even thinking about it, i got in about ten hours of cardio in two days while at the same time having two of the most exhilarating days of my life in some of the most magnificent natural surroundings on the planet. Beats a health club every time.
Granted, we can’t do our workouts under these conditions every day, but the point is, fitness should be fun. Find a way to make that true for you, and you won’t have to worry about getting fit any more. You won’t have to try every new fad diet that comes out. You won’t have to buy every new “Revolutionary Workout” book that hits the bookstores. You’ll be fit – and you’ll have fun!
