Mad Ways To Keep Healthy
Some people think I’m mad when I say my exercise routine takes just five minutes but am I?
Orientals certainly think our Western way of exercise is strange - all that huffing and puffing. They focus on martial arts learning a skill, a focus, a method of self defence and becoming incredibly strong, flexible and energised at the same time.
Can you imagine a bunch of aliens visiting one of Earth’s gyms?
“Hey Orrrrk (ok, so I don’t really know what Aliens are called!)
I have just seen some earth creatures in a place they call a Gym.
Some of them are jumping up and down on a rubber mat and others are running on machines that take them nowhere. They spend a lot of time doing this.
My calculations tell me that some of them are damaging their bodies. Some of them are trying to get thinner, some are trying to get bigger, none of them are happy to be what they are.”
Well that may not be entirely how they would see it but who knows?
I spend 5 minutes a day doing my exercise, I’m fit enough to enjoy my life, I’m energetic to work a long tough day and still enjoy some nightlife. But most importantly I feel good… no I feel FANTASTIC.
Wake Up and Breathe!…. it’s Out of this World, but it’s not mad.
