FITNESS The Chatter in the Woods welcomes your 30 CHATTER IN THE WOODS, June 2012 Fitness: Embrace your Mediocrity and Move on Were you one of those naturally gifted athletes in school? You know, the ones who were adored by gym teachers and admired by fellow students? The ones who trained hard during the week and competed on weekends? No? Me neither. As I recall, my childhood exercise consisted of riding my bike to the candy store or walking to Patty-Ann's house to play in her basement. Okay, I did play soccer – not that well – and compete in track and field. But I never considered myself a skilled athlete, just someone with a lot of energy to burn. The good news about having a less-than-stellar athletic background is that I have no glory days to look back on. There's nothing but fitness mediocrity to live up to now. On the other end of the spectrum, a friend of mine competed at a high level in martial arts all through school. As an adult, she could also ski, bike, swim, run and climb better than most women I know. But she only ever compares herself to her younger, fitter, faster self – and she always comes up short. She's still fitter than most women her age, but that's not good enough. If you're like my friend, still comparing yourself unfavourably to the glory days of your youth, well, enjoy the memories, but if you're not as fit as you once were, maybe it's time to get over it. Set yourself a new goal and get going. letters, articles, advertisements and notices of interest to our community members. Deadline for submissions is the 15th of the month prior to publication. Send submissions to thechatter@redwoodmeadows.ab.ca. The same advice applies to people who weren't jocks in school. Embrace your mediocrity, and then look forward. Find an activity that you like. It doesn't have to be pumping iron at the gym or running on a track. Just get moving in some way. Challenge yourself to try something new. Summer is coming, the perfect time to try hiking, biking, inline skating, canoeing, kayaking... You're never too old to teach your body new tricks, so get out there and have fun. And maybe get fit in the process.
