Fitness As Play
Sep 29th
When was the last time you played? And I don’t mean competing, but just playing to have fun? An important way to keep your body healthy and fit is to maintain active play. However, this play is not for competition or for winning. Call some friends and play for the sake of playing. This is great for both the mind and the body. Keeping in shape through play is perfect for all ages because it is fun, flexible with any schedule, and comfortable for all body types. If you have children, try joining them in their games. If you don’t have children, watch children at play and try to imitate them when you are by yourself. Playing to win is not the goal the movement is what is important.
Just as long as you get your blood flowing and your muscles moving, you’re keeping your body in shape and fit. Keep up a consistent routine of active movement, but know your limits and stay within these limits to avoid injury. Child-like play on a play ground, in a game of handball or tag, or during a sport is a wonderful way to get the heart pumping and to temporarily free the mind from demands of the adult world. To make sure your body gets the full attention of fitness, enjoy your play and vary your workouts to give your muscles some recovery and to maximize your fitness. If you occasionally play like a child you will likely live longer and definitely live happier.
