Everybody battles with their weight from time to time.  It’s either too much junk food or not enough exercise.  In many cases it is a poor diet and no exercise.  We go to work and sit behind a computer or a counter, and we sit.  Then we get up for coffee, and then we sit.  On and on, day after day.  It’s the ritual that many people get used to.  They are creatures of habit.  But the trend can be broken. 

In many cases, folks just need to get out and about to enjoy life a little.  As funny as it might sound, there are many hobbies that keep some people from being stagnant and growing fat.  True fitness doesn’t have to come from the gym, there are plenty of fit people who simply watch their diet and do something everyday. 

Golfing and Fitness 

This is the one I struggled explaining to my wife.  Then she bought some clubs and started coming along.  It’s great exercise.  Buy the backpack style straps for your bag or get a pull cart.  Take the initiative to walk the course.  If the weather is ninety five degrees and humid, ride a cart.  On the nice days, walk it.  It’s not only good for your body, it’s also good for your mind.  The great outdoors has a lot to do with your happiness.  And it doesn’t hurt if you make a couple nice birdie putts. 

Getting out a couple times a week to play either nine or eighteen will keep your blood flowing and challenge your thought process.  Golf is a game for life, in more ways than one. 

Join a League for Health 

There are organized

Leagues are designed to keep people active doing what they love.  All ages are welcomed, and lots of good times are had.  Softball, volleyball, tennis and more get your body moving and involved in the social arena.  Where else can you ground out and meet friends? 

Diet Hiking 

It doesn’t take a game with eight hundred year old rules or an organized sports team to get outside and enjoy some exercise.  Plenty of people enjoy the great outdoors just for what it is: the great outdoors.  An activity as basic as hiking is some of the best exercise you’ll ever get.  You control the level of difficulty that you want to endure. 

All you need to do to participate is throw on some comfortable clothes and strap on your shoes.  Go search for agates or take the dog for a walk.  Get your exercise and keep your diet going.   

It really doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to get your body moving.  Once you get started, your routine will become easier and you’ll want top expand it.  Health and fitness quickly becomes addicting.  Choose your poison.
