To Be Active in today

To touch on what Bradley Jones says I'm going to include what I think it means to be active I'm going to begin with a saying "Gymnastics: Its not just a sport, its a lifestyle". Why do I say this. Its because as a gymnast we kind of sign the rest of our lives bound to a gymnastics club with training set up just about every day and anyone else involved in this sport will agree that its completely worth it because we dont just do it for the sake of it, we do because it brings about this need to be competitive in something we love. I have said countless of times Gymnastics means the world to me and it has for a very long time, so long in fact that it has meant so much longer to me then getting on a skateboard and yet it took me a while to be affiliated within a club and to see more of the story here is a link to a previous blog detailing how long there has been this passion. http://grahamboyd.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-life-as-gymnast-written-sep-21-2010.html

Now I may be living a healthy lifestyle what with being a gymnast and all (I have to watch what I do as my choices could affect my performance) but I'm going to shift gears into a concept of living a healthy lifestyle that does get overlooked and anyone living in Johannesburg will kind of agree. Christmas is around the corner (and I will touch on the true meaning of christmas as well as insight into who Jesus really was closer to Christmas day) and we are bombarded with images of pumping iron at the local gym or cutting down on certain foods which may kind of be valid but in Johannesburg things are kind of intense and in fact stressful most of the times so I reckon an overlooked way to spend a healthy lifestyle is pretty much just getting away out of the hustle and bustle of the city and just taking a simple vacation to a beachside community or listening to the sounds of birds and animals in the game reserve. Christmas time for anyone from the city is a chance to just get away from all the stresses of life and just allow themselves to just be content with no hassles or worries.
