In middle school I couldn’t play little league football because I was 25 pounds over the weight limit for my age group. They said it wouldn’t be fair to the other kids. So instead of practicing the coach made me run around the field wearing a garbage bag and a sweater on top of it. So I can “sweat” the weight off (definitely not healthy at all)… needless to say when my mother found out this was happening … that was end of my little league career.
Now that I’m grown there are things that I want to do but can’t because I’m over the weight limit or it would just be plain old uncomfortable for me to experience it at my current weight. I’m talking about skydiving, snowshoeing, scuba diving, zip lining and riding roller coasters… These are things that I plan to do in the near future.
So with all that said my first fitness value is: To experience life without the restriction of weight.
I hope this post does not seem like I’m rambling, whining or complaining but I want to you to see where this fitness value is coming from. In order to prevent this from being a really long blog post I’m going to stop here and continue to tomorrow on my other fitness values. However I want to leave you with this question: What are your fitness values?
Until next time.
