I am definitely active. I’m busy. I’m always on the go-go-go. But does my ‘running around’ actually amount to any activity? Can I call myself active?
Well when you look at activity as in exercise, then I’d say no. I’m not active in that way. I may feel exhausted at the end of the day from running around but I probably haven’t gotten in much of any actual exercise.
I’m busy. We’re all busy. We lead full lives and have a lot on our plate. So how do we fit in exercise? How do we increase activity? I know that I have not made it a priority in my life. At all. But that needs to change.
No more driving around the parking lot until I find the closest spot. No more taking the elevator when I could just walk up a flight or two and no more sitting on the sidelines just watching my kids be active.
How I plan to Increase Activity
I just enrolled my kids in a karate class. We when first walked in the Dojo, I remembered just how fun taking Karate could be. My husband and I were in Karate before the kids were born but haven’t gone back since. We loved it. So why not get involved again?
As the kids were getting on the mat, I decided to join them. I had so much fun. We all enjoyed it. It was one hour of not only being active but de-stressing. I had no idea just how great it would be for mind and body.
I worked muscles that I haven’t worked in awhile and actually worked up a sweat. Yes, it was a beginners class and actually a kids class but it was perfect for this girl who never gets any real exercise.
I’m looking forward to going back to class and bringing out my inner Karate Master.
