And bring some water...



Go outside and play.

No, I’m not your mom (unless T. and Syd are reading this…), but it’s still a good idea.

I love the gym.  I love weights and cardio machines and classes and handy showers and often I even love the cheesy music.  But.

Outside is better.  The view from the treadmill doesn’t change much, but a walk or run out in the world can change our perspective.

It can also be a reality check.  No matter how much we vary the intensity or incline or speed on a cardio machine, it’s not the same as tackling real hills or dealing with different surfaces.  We don’t work out to get better at working out.  We do it to get better at the stuff we actually want to do.

So get out.  Feel the sun and the breeze.  Breathe a while.
