Who do you like being active with?

Well, being the 'Queen of innuendo' this blog title has made me giggle a lot, but that aside, I shall put on my serious face and discuss this in an appropriate and adult-like manner!

Again, these blog titles are challenging to my little grey cells, although I do like a challenge. When I blog usually it's about something I've done, or want to do and so it's easy.

So.....who, actually do I like being active with? I know who I used to love training with, and that was my Dad, so when I've been running in the past, and in particular for challenges I have tended to choose a man to run with. This may have been subconscious, but my lovely friend Rob Starbuck has been a great running buddy, and actually my friend Steve ran the Dartmoor ultra-marathon with me, even though we were both feeling ill and tired that day I was happy with his company.

Aside from that I much prefer to train on my own, BUT, I am very self-motivated with exercise, and I think with this title I need to go with what most of you would want to read about.
How do you get active with others?
Easy!

Go to an exercise class....... they are the absolute best, not only for fitness, but for social and making new friends, and most importantly....keeping you going time and time again.

I love taking classes, I do a Boxercise class once a week as a private session, straight from work the South Hams Council crew turn up and get ready to punch out their day's stress. Its awesome!

The biggest for me is my Insanity classes, I love it, it's the best class I have ever taken. People love to hate it, they turn up, it's social, it's amazing and they leave with relief that it's over, but still wanting to come back again.
It's not so social as Boxercise, or Zumba, mainly because you can't talk! But the same people come back time and time again and I can see the results.

I guess, I'm a little selfish with my exercise, but I do love to share my dog walks on the moor or the beach, with whichever of my friends wants to come join me, remember, exercise is about movement, no matter how much you do, a stroll on Slapton on a Sunday afternoon is still movement, it's still activity.

Have a think...if you don't exercise but want to, what would you do, and who would you like to do it with? (sorry, I'm still giggling, it's too funny!)

See you next week :)
