Have you ever watched a child play? They run, not walk, to EVERYTHING. And instead of walking to the mailbox or the concession stand or whatever -- they make up a "game" to get there.   Hopping on one foot to the mailbox...skipping to the concession stand...racing their friend to the next house on the way to school.

Imagine if you treated your adult world like a child's world. You would run to everything with enthusiasm. You would find ways to play throughout each and every day. You would dance when you heard music. Ride your bike to your friend's house. Swim on hot days. And make play your priority. Chores, watching TV, even eating would come in a distant second to playing.

Kids do it right...they never "have to find time to do a cardio workout." They already are getting one every day! 

What can you learn from this? Play is the key to making your cardio workouts fun and something you will not only stick to but look forward to.

And you will reap many benefits from cardio workouts such as lowering your cholesterol, decreasing your body fat, improving your sex life, higher energy and more.

To learn more about the benefits of cardio workouts, different ways to turn your cardio workouts into aerobic play and 8 steps to success, check out this week's forum topic "Cardio 101" at http://www.mikeryanfitness.com/forum.php.

Remember, playing is never a waste of time. 

With Healthy Regards,
