Family Fitness

People say "if you want to get fit you make time for it"

I disagree. Since beginning this adventure, I have learnt:

1. Only a clock maker can make time
2. It becomes more of a habit to squeeze in a cheeky gym sesh.
3. Rushing around and juggling the rest of your life so that you can get to the gym becomes second nature

What is the point in keeping fit and healthy? For me, it was and still is to lose weight. But after yesterday, I saw my mother. We went on an adventure to Dalby Forest and had a great family day out. My mother is asthmatic and she only started working out a couple of years ago. But I saw how adventurous she is because she is active and healthy.

It made me realise that fitness is no longer just for vanity for me. I want to be able to keep up with my grandchildren when I reach 50! To hike in the woods and have so much fun!

Whilst having this fun, adventurous day out, would you believe that I walked 12.5km! That is almost 8 miles! And to think I felt guilty about not going to the gym that morning! So yes, for me, I enjoy the gym and that is a large part of my fitness, but this was a splendid team event, with a great team! My family!

And as you can see, I still had energy to play at the end!
