COME OUT AND PLAY! Summer 2014

MsMarlaJean

“We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!” Let's make our workouts PLAY oriented this summer 6/1-8/31! Can you come out and play?

We're all here at MFP for various reasons, but predominantly to get healthy and it's HARD WORK! I am a firm believer that it is good to work hard in all areas of our life! So, here is my unsolicited advice: Always apply pressure on yourself to achieve in order to succeed, work hard and occasionally make sacrifices, but NEVER forget the importance of living life for the pure enjoyment of living life. ALWAYS find a way to make yourself smile and most importantly PLAY! And I’m not talking sit-on-your-butt-and-look-at-a-screen-type video and computer game play; I’m talking a physical-make-your-face-hurt-hearty-belly-laugh-out-loud kind of play!

Whatever your age, if you continually make time to play it will help keep you young! Also, when you engage and encourage those close to you to play too you will uncover even more about them because like Plato said, “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation” and I am certain this is true!

So, in homage to my approaching “mid-life,” I went out and purchased a few “toys” –no not a sports car! A kayak (with safety gear), roller skates (and padding), a weighted Hula Hoop and a speed jump rope! I’ll add these to my super cool bicycle and my sporty swim suit and voila! I’m fully established to actively pursue my new PLAY workouts! What do you want to Play?

So, this summer starting JUNE 1st thru August 31st I am gonna WORK HARD at PLAYING because, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” -Abraham Lincoln
