Instead of looking at working out as a chore, we should take a more integrated approach, where it’s just something that is part of our lives. Taking walks in nature, to be in the fresh air and elements, should be seen as fun, especially when there are good friends and family members to share the walks with. There’s an Ayurvedic term in Sanskrit, “Prakruti Sukha,” that means something along the lines of “the happiness from being in nature.” There is an inexplicable joy in being in nature. Just walking to do errands is also great. Why does it have to vacillate between sitting all day and then a hardcore workout? The more we can intertwine activity, the more natural it will feel. I also think it’s important to find ways to move that you truly enjoy. I love yoga and opening up my body, but for some that kind of love might be had from dancing or an intense spin class that gets your endorphins flowing. Find what you love. Life is too short to suffer!
