One-On-One with Jason S. Greene Revive Your Inner Child I asked a friend once why he thought it was so hard to get people involved in fitness. He thought a minute and then said “for starters we should have never called it working out. After all, who wants to work all day and then go do something called working out”? We spent several minutes that afternoon trying to come up with a new, more inviting term for “exercise/working out” and finally gave up, but I never forgot that conversation. In fact, I actually spent a great deal of time over the next several days thinking about a different name for the act of exercising. Then it occurred to me, we already have a term for exercise that makes it more appealing and that term is… playing. Do you remember playing? Chase, tag, freeze tag, red light, hide and seek, hop scotch, jump rope, dodge ball, kick ball, etc. Let me ask you a question. Do you remember laughing, running, jumping, and just plain having fun? After all, that’s why you played those games isn’t it? Because they were fun! The side affect was health and fitness, but the only goal you had as a child was to have fun. So, instead of making a grand resolution to adhere to some kind of strict regimen, why not make a commitment to revive your inner child and start playing more? I personally love to lift weights and play pick up basketball. Now at age fifty, I have been doing both for about 42-years, and it is never once been a chore. I never have to get psyched up to do it. I never set around dreading my next opportunity to lift or my next chance to play a game of 3-on-3 basketball. I love it. It is my playtime, and one of the high points of my day.What do you like to do? What kind of physical activity feels more like “playing” than “working out” to you? Do you like to lift weights, dance, play tennis or golf? What have you always wanted to learn how to do, but never took the time? Wait a minute, I just had an idea. What if you went outside and played hide and seek with your grand kids? Of course, you will probably have to teach the game of hide and seek to them before they can play with you. Because the sad truth is, due in large part to video games and rampant childhood obesity, most people kill off their inner child before they reach the age of eight. In this high tech world we live in today, we tend to make things like health and fitness overly complicated. But the simple truth is, all you need to do is move. If you need help, don’t be afraid to seek out a coach. You may need a personal trainer, golf pro, martial arts instructor, etc. Just make it clear to the coach that the minute it begins to feel like work, you are out of there. Your inner child wants to have some fun. If the grown up on the outside starts to look and feel better, well, that’s just a really nice bonus. Tag…your it!
