Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.

You know how you crave the weekend when you’ve had a hard week at work? This is because you need a break. A break from mental stress that is associated with work. A break from the weekday routine of waking at a certain hour and sleeping at a certain hour. A break from looking at the same faces at work. A break from being ‘responsible’ for something. A break from swallowing lunch in 10 mins. A break from traffic. A break from fatigue!

You know what else needs a break?

Your ass!

Seriously… I’m not joking here. Irrespective of what you’ve been doing all week, one thing has been constant – Your ass has been glued on to something!

• You wake up from laying on your bed.
• You sit down to eat breakfast.
• You drive to work sitting down.
• You reach work and sit down on your chair at your desk.
• You have meetings to sit in.
• Around noon, you walk/drive to the place where you eat and sit down to eat.
• Back to sitting at your desk.
• You drive back home sitting down.
• You sit on the couch and watch TV or talk or whatever else you do.
• Cook dinner real quick and sit down to chow.
• Hang out with the family in the living room where you again sit on a couch or something.
• Get to bed and lay your ass on your bed for 7-9 straight hours.
• Wake up… and it continues!

See what I mean? Give your ass a damn break this weekend!

How?

• Take a relaxing long hike.
• Play with your kids or pets.
• Meet friends for a game of ultimate (or volley ball or tennis…)
• Go to a club and dance till you drop.
• Do mobility work.
• Go for a yoga class.
• Work on your balance.
• Find a friend you want to catch up with and have a walking-chat.
• If you don’t have friends or kids or pets… just stand and watch TV maybe?

I can go on and on, but you get the idea…

The thing is – its a damn weekend folks!! Be excited! Take a break from the usual nonsense… do something different!

Get off the chair/couch/bed/car seat and use those legs! Your spine will thank you. Me? I’ll be doing everything on that list… except the dancing of course.

TGIF!
