Physical Activity
Newtons First Law of Motion, paraphrased:
A body in motion, stays in motion.
A body at rest, stays at rest.
I’m embarrassed to say it took me years to realize what I learned in engineering school actually applies to humans, too. Being in shape doesn’t mean looking great naked; being in shape means being able to accomplish the physical tasks that you enjoy.
My Favorite Ways to Get Moving
If you’ve paid for a lot of gym memberships, but never actually showed up, we might be spirit animals. Nearly a year later and I attend classes at OrangeTheory 3-6 times a week. That wasn’t a typo. If you want a trainer to help you along the way, accountability to show up, and hard data to prove your physical health is improving, give them a try. And leave your self conscious at the door; they keep classes so busy no one has time to criticize your unwashed hair and dark circles. Did I mention the orange lights will make you look like a god/goddess?
Note: I am not affiliated with nor do I get paid by OrangeTheory to endorse them. I just love them.
