Along our journey through life, we meet different people who all have something in common—a desire to excel and run after goals, and I mean literally run. To be determined, not deterred.
This month, I want to introduce you to Rochelle Sceats-Basil, as she shares her thoughts and desires. Her chosen sport is running, but remember that sports are still sports even when running isn’t involved. Last month’s column about golf is a great example of this!
I would like to share some comments with you about a newfound (to me) sport. I was asked if I play golf. Is golf a sport? I wasn’t sure.
My response was that when I want to dig a hole, I use a shovel. I must admit this sparked a lively conversation. When you see the following terms: bogey, birdie, condor, and eagle, what do you think about? At first, I was thinking about wildlife.
It’s finally February, and you may be no closer to getting started on your fitness journey. Maybe you don’t have a plan and you’re frustrated. The best solution is to get back to the basics.
Before you start, you have to decide on how to approach a program to start walking, running, or exercising in general.
Welcome to the New Year! Each year, many of us make resolutions to change something. Do you find that each year it’s the same resolution? What are you thinking of for 2018?
Take a few moments to weigh your options for 2018 and what your fitness goals will be. Your choice of fitness can be walking, running, spinning, or other forms. Take a few minutes to take make a realistic plan which is attainable. Write your plan out and track your progress. Let this be the year you see results.
The weather is beginning to break with cooler mornings, which is ideal for walks or runs. In the last column I made reference to getting back to the basics. Where are you with your fitness?
No matter who I speak with, there are a variety of reasons why people exercise and your reason is no different. And no matter what you may read or hear, it’s always best to consult with your doctor first to make sure it’s safe.
Is there a point where you feel that you have to get back to the basics and start all over again? Your fitness program can be interrupted by family, work, injury, and health issues.
The initial reaction is to try to figure out how long you’ll be out of commission. The amount of time will be based upon the situation.
