Can I say one word: relief. I am so relieved that we are a health-conscious group! I’m a gym instructor and do some personal training… half of my life is spent in a gym. I’m glad that we all understand it’s not just vanity – one of the hardest things for me about missions is the inability to exercise/eat like I want to. While I know we’ll have to make concessions, it’s really good that we’re all up for the idea of exercising as we go. Running of course is an option. I lived in Africa and had a jump rope and a stability ball (can be deflated & inflated when need be).
I’m starting to study up on easy body-weight resistance exercises, etc. that can be done without any props. If we’re all creative & into the idea, I’m sure we can come up w/plenty of ideas to stay active.
By the way – how weird would I look if I started jogging around my neighborhood with my pack on?
Maybe that’s a stupid question.
