Playing

There’s something to be said for playing, and spending time with your kids (or someone else’s) lets you do just that, without strange looks or questioning glances. Run up and down the stairs at the playground, go back and forth across the monkey bars or spin the merry-go-round for a while. Toss a football back and forth, whip a Frisbee to and from your child or a friend, or play some volleyball on the weekend. Playing can burn hundreds of calories and it won’t feel like something you dread.
I like to exercise when I can do it out of a structured setting. How do you feel about exercise? What’s your favorite way to break a sweat?
