Feelin’ Stuffed?
I love that online communities can motivate all types of folk to get active and challenge the butt-in-chair status quo. People who can’t or don’t want to afford a gym membership, or avoid fitness centers for non-fiscal reasons (yep, that’s you!), can tap into multiple online communities that get them emotionally and physically in check. If you move cross-country from your favorite fitness buddy, personal trainer or spotter, you can monitor each others’ stats and successes regularly using a fitness forum. I like to comment on my BFF’s daily food log despite our countrywide divide (which somedays reads: Red Bull, mac n cheese, Red Bull & vodka. No lie!) using www.peertrainer.com .
Community boards (broadly speaking) can be excellent sources of information for making better nutritional choices and changing your diet. Perhaps you’re curious how to improve your mins/mile while eating less meat? Throngs of likeminded people share their experiences and results online, and are almost always eager to continue the discussion should you engage with them.
We know that retirement can mean being less socially involved. But these days–heck, don’t waste your golden years blubbering on the sofa–anyone can connect online and meet up for a pickup game. Try it! Discover walking or hiking groups, rec sports teams, or salsa dancing clubs, all of which offer you a huge serving of enjoyment with your exercise.
