Fun and Fitness: Spring season provides more fitness options
Just last week I was walking outside after work to my car and nearly got drilled with a football and road hockey ball. Random guys were frantically playing sports in the parking lots, birds were singing, and girls were already dressing in skimpy attire. All for good reason considering it was a high of 16 degrees. I knew it was too good to be true as the cold, snow and wind quickly made its way back days after the fact. I don't like to get teased as much as the next guy, but I definitely like what lasts week's weather is foreshadowing!
It's March 21 as I write this, which makes it the first full day of spring. It might not look or feel like spring but the tease show we got last week clearly indicates we're in for something good soon. The first few days of nice weather are always hype. Everyone and their cousins and dogs are out jogging, playing and drinking in the sun. What happens far too often throughout the weeks therein after is that the same people are no longer outside. Their enthusiasm quickly dwindles to the point where you would think its snow time blues season all over again. It's amazing how quickly some people take ideal weather for granted. It's the same people that end up complaining when winter time rolls around again too quick. Yes, spring and summer always seem to fly by, but it doesn't mean people can't take better advantage of it while it's around!
It's just about that time of year again for patios, boozing and tanning. Let's not forget it's also time for beach volleyball, tennis, and biking! There are simply way too many activities to be had over the warm months. Better weather results in more alternatives choices for physical activity. The best part about it is that outdoor activities are always the most fun. There's less room for excuse to putting in some exercise when all you have to do is step out your door and get involved in something, anything and everything.
So get your ass doing the outdoorsy activities you love to do. Make it a habitual routine, leaving no room for regret while making it one of your best sunny seasons yet. Don't be “that guy” crying come winter time because he spent the whole summer indoors playing Doom. Now I expect to see more footballs whizzing by my head when going to my car after work. Oh and go ahead ladies, keep doing your skimpy thing!
