Be Inspired by What's Around You

A few months ago, I posted on Facebook about one of my favorite workouts.  On a Saturday I asked my 10 year old son if we would like to go on a walk. We had been on walks before, but on this walk I told him he was the leader and I would do or try to do anything he did. Well, we started by jumping up stairs, then jumping off high ledges. We passed a park, where we stopped to swing and climb on bars, do push ups off of benches and scale up walls.  Then we found a hiking trail where we sprinted after lizards, twirled sticks, skipped, and leaped from rocks. It was a great walk, not just because I got a workout, but because I had fun time with my son and through his eyes discovered how much more there was around me. My son's movements were inspired by the simple things around him, just like this man in the video below. I hope this story and video inspire you to take some time to look around you and move!
