Hey reader. As always, I'm trying to keep my workout sessions engaging and fun. I'm trying something else I did when I was a kid. I can remember at almost every party with non-helium balloons my friends and I would start little games of don't let the balloon touch the ground.
I had a bag of them sitting in my basement closet with our other miscellaneous things, and I figured I could put them to good use. If you make an effort to hit them relatively hard, chasing them around can really get you going. If you add fans in to the equation it makes it even more interesting, as it makes the balloon's movements less predictable. You can even bounce them off the walls and ceiling to add angles in to fun. Granted it takes about an hour for it to really qualify as exercise, and it's lowish key at that, but every once and a while, why not? That also gives me an opportunity to spend some quality time with my itunes library.
I really enjoyed it, and I'm glad that at my age I can still have fun with balloons. I even invited my friends to try it at my last little party, and they loved it. That just goes to show you, if you look like a dork you're probably having fun.
So until next time, do something dorky. Who cares who's looking.
