Being Active

I am responding to Kyle Randolph's comment on my blog about exercising. I believe exercising is an important thing to do, and I am also glad to know others feel the same way. I also agree with Kyle on the fact that exercising is becoming harder to accomplish because of the mordern technology. It's hard for the children growing up with computers and state of the art video games at their finger tips to appricate the simple things in life. Our generation is effected by the increase of technology, but the generations after us will have an even more difficult time parting from their technically savy lifestyles. The main objective behind exercising is to have a healthy life. Health is one thing no one should take for granted. So to help our future kids who will be growing up with all of the technical advances we can motivate them by fun activities. Either playing catch with them, a pick-up game with some of their friends, or even a family walk. By doing this you not only make a step to better the health of both generations, but you also gain a closer relationship with your kids.

  1. I agree with you Jim. Even just in our lifetimes, the overall need to exercise has decreased so much. I remember when we were younger and we were outside from dawn to dusk. We didn't play video games or sit on computers all day, we were out and about all day long. As a society, our obesity levels will keep getting worse as our technological advances get better. So what do we do? Do we stop keeping up with technology to better ourselves physically? Honestly, I have no idea what we should do.
