Never ask your kids for
blog ideas. Especially just after
visiting the Winchester Mystery House.
They will suggest stairs, lots and lots of stairs, in varying sizes as
appropriate for one’s level of arthritis.
They will try to figure out what sort of exercise a door to nowhere (one
that opens on a two story drop) could be used for and will suggest running from
ghosts as cardio. (Maybe your kids are
different.)
However, they do, sort
of, have a point. We can do workouts
wherever we happen to be using the environment around us. This is the basic premise of boot camps that
meet in parks and use benches and playground equipment. Improvising a hotel room workout can make the
difference between maintaining progress while traveling and coming home needing
bigger pants. I often say that if I
could choose only one exercise for people to do, it would be squats. If I could choose two, the second one would
be pushups. Those can be done anywhere, without
stuff.
And if ghosts motivate us
to run, I suppose that’s good, too.
