There are times and occasionally complete days when I can relax. The rest of my life is multi-tasking to a high level. It takes considerable concentration to write this on a beach, under an umbrella, with my laptop, cold coconut, light morning breeze, and gentle rhythmic white noise of soft surf.
I will survive, but the fusion of exercise with introspective emotional/mental training or specialized professional sports training is an excellent way to receive health benefits with a small investment of time. When your time is limited and your family is pulled in various directions, fitness is a great time to come together.

A run club is not my type of preferred group fitness unless it’s a jungle run. There are many international social-runners clubs. I like to meet new people and run through new landscapes and trails.

Dancing, martial arts, gymnastics, and organized sports are great fusions of enjoyment and fitness. Are there any sports or fusion activities you find irritating? Cyclists? It isn’t a wellness trend that I find bothersome. People who assume ownership of all space and video themselves for a TikTok, Snap, or IG in a disturbing and distracting dramatic manner make me consider home-calisthenics.

What are we evolving into? We can dig in the dirt and sift through rocks to find how we once lived, ate, and hunted. On this potato trajectory of obesity and slothfulness, we are handing ourselves over to be managed. Take control and go for a walk.
