Stay busy to burn calories

low res coney IslandPeople often think the gym is the only way to fitness. I find the gym to be somewhat routine. Don’t get me wrong, I go when I must but, I prefer the outdoors. Fitness people are often divided on the gym issue. But really the end result is the only thing that matters. This weekend I did not log my miles. With the big event rapidly approaching wise minds might believe I should be logging massive mileage. Instead of running, I spent my time washing and waxing the truck and trailer that will support our impending journey. As I did so, my mind wandered to the first Karate Kid movie where Pat Morita unloaded tons of chores on Ralph Macchio. It was his way of teaching Karate. It is true that I could have taken the vehicles to the car wash but by doing it myself I saved money, I practiced diligence, and I received a nice long workout. It is important to throw ourselves fully into whatever task is at hand. If you accept a job it is not menial. Every thing we choose to do we must do to the best of our abilities. It is my promise that walking this road will lead to greener pastures.
