What’s the most fun way to exercise?
It can be anything from playing table tennis to playing outdoor games like football. But I think playing with friends and enjoying the process is the only right way to exercise.
I mean why do people hate going to the gym in a room full of strangers?
Because I think they take it too seriously and there are only a few friends there.
The reason we want to exercise is to have a fit body and we want a fit body because we want to feel good about ourselves. ( If you want to lose weight, that’s a valid goal but it can get toxic and demotivating soon)
Why not play without a goal and with friends to feel good and also have a fit body?
I think one might say “But football is competitive and it’s not easy to get into a football team”.
And I understand and totally agree.
But why not buy a bicycle and go around the town or city with your friends?
The less serious we take life, the more enjoyable it gets.
Again exercise is not the goal, it’s a means to some state of being which is feeling good about our bodies.
If you think of exercise as a goal(losing x kgs of body weight) then when you achieve the goal, you’ll no longer feel motivated to exercise.
But if you play with friends, then exercise will happen automatically and you’ll enjoy it.
Now one might say that they don’t have friends. Well that’s a topic for another blog post.
I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!
