week 9

PLAY

This week's challenge might sound down right ridiculous, but that just makes it all the more appealing : ) Also, it's really simple. Bonus!

Head to the playground. That's it. Watch kids playing in their un-self-conscious ways - no reps, no ‘exercise as a chore’- and see if you can get on the equipment and move like they are, within the range of what is an option for you physically right now.

Why is it not OK for adults to play on those things anyhow? We are missing out. I can no longer pass one by without having a swing on something...

The Forces With You!



One of the books my Dad wrote with my Aunty way back when.
This was always my favorite,  it explains (to kids) how forces such as gravity, friction, elasticity, and inertia and agents of force such as leverage and balance affect our lives.

The Forces With You, Tom Johnston and Sarah Pooley, 1987
