My Love For Living A Healthy Lifestyle

Do you remember being a child? Back when you would always want to be outside with your friends playing? Weather it was playing basketball, baseball, skateboarding, riding my bike, or just running around with friends playing tag or whatever I remember being very active. But I have realized that as we grow up we tend to fall away from being active. We seem to start staying inside more as we work or when we get home from work we sit down and relax for the rest of the evening. But in all honesty we all know that we could get out for at least half an hour at some point in the day and engage in some form of activity. It's almost as if we make fun things out to be some form of hard work! What happened to the spirit of fun? We all need to have a list of activities we enjoy doing and engage in something each day. It could even be just going to the gym and working out.

Honestly, how bad would it be to get out of the house and take a bike ride around your neighborhood or go to the park for an hour with some friends and play catch or football, basketball, baseball, or volleyball. If you like skateboarding then go to the skate park for a while. If you have a dog take it for a walk in the evenings. There are so many things you can do that will contribute to living a more healthy life. The effects of living an active lifestyle range from feeling better physically to feeling better emotionally and even to sleeping better as well as maintaining a higher level of energy throughout the day.

I love to stay active. If it's nice outside I want to be outside doing something. Activities that I enjoy would be going skating, playing sand volleyball, basketball, or just walking around downtown. The key is to do things you enjoy that keep you active day to day. If you don't enjoy what your doing then you will most likely stop at some point due to lack of interest. So make a list of things you love to do and get out and have some fun living healthy. Bring back the spirit yo had as a child!
