Gettting Up and Out

Get Up & Out  

 It's nothing like getting up early to explore a beautiful sunny day. Yes, key words- Getting Up. In a society where so much of our concentration is centered around sitting at a desk, sitting in front of the TV, sitting on our phones or laying in our beds- it's time to change the mold and getting that DNA moving.  
   Much has changed from the times when I was a kid where we were outside all day everyday. Playing in the sun with traditional games like kick ball, hide and seek, jump roping, riding our bikes and simply running through the neighborhood. I can remember our parents out in the yard working the gardens, cutting the grass and socializing with the neighbors. Not so much these days.
   This is why I like some of the current challenges on market today- Fitbit Workweek Hustle Challenge, Up & Out Challenge, Couch Potatoes Challenge and all other challenges out there that gets you up and moving. I like all of them except the Pokemon Go challenge- lol, those phone games just aren't my thing. However, the idea behind getting kids and adults up and moving is a great concept for keep it moving.
   Here's another reason why we truly need to be up and moving- especially outside is to get the proper vitamin D intake through natural resources. The sun is the most powerful source of vitamin one can get...

     Get Up and Go Ideas:

1.  Breakfast on the Porch- taking in some sun before work or school

2. Early Morning Walk or Run- gets the blood flowing and energy levels up

3. Morning Workout Session- HIIT, Cardio or Weight Training is excellent for DNA movement

4. Walking with Family, Stroll with the kids, Walking the Dog- spending quality time with the family is always a plus for mind, body and spiritual connection.

5.  Hiking Adventure- taking in nature while hiking the trails in your local area or just exploring something new in your city or country

Where ever you go, make sure you are GETTING UP and Moving that DNA to keep your bones and muscles healthy-in motion. Let's Get It!
