Hey you! Yea you looking at the computer screen, nope there is absolutely no one behind you. This is solely directed at you, now I know your name may not be José but work with me here! Are you someone who is looking for that perfect 5 minute workout that will get you the beach body of a lifetime, or that diet pill that can cause you to drop 12 lbs in a week. Well I’m sorry my friends but fitness and health do not come in a bottle. Bottom line is diet pills don’t work and they can actually do considerable harm to your body. Most of the people we know be it family, friends, uncles, aunts, sisters, and even the mailman seem to all be on crazed diets, cleanses, or weight loss programs with their good friend (or foe?) Jenny Craig. But does all of this really work? Is this the true way to becoming the healthy and happy person were all seeking out to be? NO. This blog is about ways you can become physically active and fit without relying on pills and crazed diets. And I am pretty sure getting out there and enjoying the sunshine is also going to make your day a lot brighter. Oh wait where have my manners gone, you should at least know my name before you start to read my blog at least. Wow I feel so violated, this not a one blog stand I tell you (sorry I couldn’t resist). Hi I’m Natasha and yes its true I’ve never written a blog before, is it just me or does it sound like were at an AA meeting. Anyways I’m currently taking a Kinesiology 140 class at Simon Fraser University and we get to start a health blog for the class! Superb idea if I do say so myself. I love to dance, run, play my ukulele, take hikes up the SFU Mountain, play Frisbee in the sun, listen to music, and basically do anything fun and spontaneous that makes me truly happy. This is overall the way I stay physically fit, by doing activities that make me happy and work my body at the same time. What I hope you all get out of this blog is that being fit doesn’t mean being as skinny as a stick like the models we see in the magazines, its about feeling strong , powerful, healthy, and basically just overall feeling like you have done everything you possibly could to allow your body to fully keep up and enjoy life. If even one person gets something out of this little rant, well I consider my job done.
Until next time
Natasha.
