Making Time To Play

by Michelle on July 16, 2010

I have decided, I really don’t like exercising in the gym, I find it completely boring and mind numbing – unless I am working one on one with a personal trainer. With the impending travel plans – setting up my own personal trainer, just doesn’t make sense. BUT, I know that I have to “move” to continue on my healthier path.

I have decided to make “PLAY TIME” you know like recess when we were back in school – and often I can get Toi to get out with me. The cost so far about $30 for a soccer ball, basketball and a badminton raquet set with birdies.  So now we have grown up play time a few times every week.  Its gets a little more fun when my 4 & 7 year old nephews come over and they run me all over the soccer field – AWESOME.

Even in this Florida heat, I am staying hydrated and having fun. OOPS did I say I was having FUN while “Exercising?” Who knew that could be true, and the good news is that the recess gear fits nicely in the Subaru, so we can take our portable playground and get outdoors just about anywhere we travel.

I have even taken a look at the Jacksonville Kickball League – for more Adult Fun Time. That looks like a really great time, but with the traveling may not be a good fit – but I am going to make it out to watch a game soon.

SO … if its not in the GYM, how do you get out and get your exercise?  Any sports ideas for us to play while were out on the road?   Chime in below – we love hearing from you!

Add a jump rope into the mix. It’s super cheap and great cardio! You guys can “double” like you did when you were kids. Or simply tie it to the garage handle so you only need one “twirler.” Remember doing that?

OH a JUMP ROPE … I like that idea, too. THANK YOU. Miss Mary Mac Mac Mac …
