Hobbies That Help To Keep Me In Shape
I have noticed recently that most guys my age have a tendency to get fat and lazy. Most of this seems to be a result of a change in their lifestyle. Most guys probably think they are getting fat because they are getting older and that is just what happens, but that is not always the case. Another reason is because of the foods that they eat, that is part of the reason, but also not totally the truth. I believe one of the main reasons that men get fat is because of a change in lifestyle after high school and college. Sure they eat food that is bad for them and their metabolism slows down, but the lack of exercise has a huge part to do with weight gain.
I remember when I was in high school, I played basketball at break time, lunch time, after school, basketball practice, and then after that I would go to karate class for some more exercise. Although some sports varied throughout the years, this was pretty much my schedule 6 days per week. Now I work an office job all week, sit in a chair, eat Chinese food and drink coke. And we wonder why we are getting fat. So after putting on about 20lbs, I decided it was time to start exercising again, but you know how much we all hate exercise. So I decided to incorporate exercise with some hobbies. So here is what I do… I love Jeeps, so I bought an old Jeep with an AMC 360 V8 and decided to fix it up. After ordering some jeep parts and giving it some TLC, I got it back into running order in no time. Then I bought a nice Khar .40 cal elite 98 and spruced it up with some of my favorite gun parts. After that I started driving my jeep out into trails in the mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky and after enjoying a nice ride, I will go hiking and shot at targets after I reach my destination. I found that not only is this a fun trip, but it also allows me to get some great exercise. Here is to losing 20lbs and having fun doing it this year.
