Buns on the Run - Avenues to a Fitter
You
Yesteryear, men and women toiled hard in the
earth-fields growing crops, making candles and little cotton dresses.
They worked their hiney's off, literally. But as time
moved forward technology progressed, and man's ecosystem suddenly
shifted.
What generally happens when
an ecosystem experiences a change?
Those that adapt to the
changes may live to tell the story another day. They may thrive
and live a better life than yesteryear. But those in the species
who choose not to adapt to accommodate changes in their ecosystem
may not survive over time.
With that said, when our ecosystem
changed (thus making our tasks easier on the bod) little else changed
to match this new pace. Man settled back and thought, " Gee!
Now I don't have to work my hiney off anymore because all
of this new-fangled equipment and machinery is making my life easier."
And the hiney grew and grew and
grew until the new-fangled equipment and machinery begat another
technological cousin: Exercise machines and exercise equipment
which delivered the same grueling challenges that the work of yesteryear
presented, only in the privacy of a closed-in facility rather than
the old way - that being, breaking sweat in the Great Outdoors.
Most of the globe seeks cushie jobs
- those jobs where one sits and ponders most of the day. Little
movement is required, except walking into the building and back
out again - discounting those trips to the snack machines, restroom and
lunch room and a bit of computer thumping.
So what is a person to do? Sad
but so, we must all learn to incorporate activity into our daily
regime as in the old days to correct our ecosystem.
The good
news is that we no longer need to make the activity 'work time'.
We have so many good things to help make activity time, fun
time.
Here are just a few suggestions to help get regain control
of a tinier hiney and to balance your body's ecosystem:
 Get involved with a club or group
- anything from church hiking club to an independent baseball team.
Go shopping. If you're a
guy, head to the hardware and/or tool store. Most stores are
huge these days and strolling around can be a fun thing - and a
good thing for your body.
Enjoy any of the fun activities:
swimming, skiing, bowling, shooting hoops, hiking, hula-hula
hooping, dancing and jumping rope.

Your Weight Loss Plan
Dieting Tips: Find
a weight loss plan that will fit all of your needs throughout the
day - from morning to bedtime. Be sure to incorporate a few
snacks amid your healthy diet plan.
Walking - even if
you are only able to do so every other day for 15 minutes, will
greatly impact your weight loss plan. Exercise is vital for
optimum health, but it's the amount of food that the body takes
in that influences the number on the weight loss scales.
