"Play is 'the perfect anecdote (sic) for when your exercise routine starts to feel like more of a chore than an activity of enjoyment,' health scientist from Bethesda, Maryland, and ACSM faculty member Dr. Carol E. Torgan noted in a statement from the meeting. It's good for the body, mind and soul."Too bad it isn't an "ANTIDOTE for when your exercise routine starts to feel like more of a chore than an activity of enjoyment."
And "play" is apparently not so "good for the...mind" when you don't know the difference between "anecdote" and "antidote."
Whatever.
"To rediscover your inner child, visit a playground, toss a Frisbee, take a hike, go rock climbing, pick up a hoola hoop, or dance. An adult weighing 150 pounds can burn more than 300 calories an hour by dancing."Or an adult can spend no time at all and consume 300 fewer Calories by substituting sugar-free soda for sugared ones.
BTW, ACSM, today's "inner child" is enveloped in a outer layer of fat, a kind of pig in a blanket.
Or haven't you been watching?
Don't these people pay any attention to the crap they spout?
"'If you spent your childhood outside exploring,' suggested Torgan, 'head out the front door and try Geocaching' -- an outdoor treasure hunt game using GPS...No "expensive equipment" unless you are "Geocaching."
Another benefit of 'play' exercise is that it 'doesn't require expensive equipment, a gym membership, or form-fitting Lycra - it's free. You only need an open mind,' Torgan said."
