Medieval Times Reminds Me of How Much I Love Walking
This morning I was driving the girls to school when a commercial came on the radio. It was for a dinner entertainment show called Medieval Times.
If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a dinner theatre show, where you watch 2 knights on horses joust ‘til the death! They serve your dinner with no utensils, so you have to use your hands like wild animals. It’s an experience that takes you back to the days of medieval times. When they didn’t have silverware and spectators gathered to watch grown men fight.
Kind of like hockey.
I asked the kids if they had any interest in going to see a show. Thankfully, they said “no way”!
I’ve only gone to see one of these shows once. And it was only because I got free tickets. It’s kind of cheesy and overpriced. It my opinion anyway.
But it got me thinking about medieval times and how people would either walk everywhere or ride horses. Now we drive cars and sit a lot of the time, for work or on the computer. Instead of working on the farm or whatever. So we have to find other ways to exercise our bodies, which were designed for walking and hard labor.
It also reminded me of how much I like walking. Walking on the beach, walking in the park, around the neighborhood and especially hiking in the mountains and woods.
Oh, and in case you didn’t know – hiking is just a fancy way of saying walking.
With starting my own business and all the writing I’ve been doing this past year, on my blog, my newsletter and all the books I’m working on, I haven’t had much time to hike this year.
And that happens.
We all get busy. And sometimes we can’t do all the things we enjoy.
Or things we know we should do – like exercise.
Which is why it’s so important to find ways to squeeze in exercise. Even on the busiest of days.
This is one of the things I show you in my new book, “Zipping It Up: How to lose 5 pounds fast – and look great in that little black dress.”
It’s not just about losing weight fast. It shows you ways to eat healthier and exercise. So you can maintain a healthy weight and feel great every day!
If you’re not living in medieval times and need to find ways to exercise, it’s available on Amazon Kindle and paperback.
