Don't Exercise - Play Hard

Every morning when I walk on the beach, I see Henry. In his 70s, Henry is always happy, vibrant and alive. He swims a mile in the ocean and then walks two miles. 3 days a week he works out at the Y. To him it's not exercise, it's fun! My mother is 80 and she walks two miles a day, plays tennis and swims a couple times a week, works out at the gym, and for fun she square dances. She is the happiest person I know.

I asked my mom once how she got herself motivated to do all this. She said it's hardest first thing in the morning. She said, "Get up, put on your exercise clothes, go to the bathroom, and walk out the door. Don't think about it or you won't do it." Thanks mom!
