Day Five - Parsley and Pillows

Today I thought I would go online and search for fitness tips to see if I could find some new ones. It seems we have heard them all, but I think I may have found a few that maybe you haven't thought of, I certainly hadn't. On "Fitness Tips For Life" I found these:

• Carry parsley with you. Parsley is an excellent thing to munch on in between meals. Not just is it good for you in terms of vitamins, but it is also a perfect way of making your breath fresher.

• Carry a soft flying disc or Frisbee with you. Toss it around and get up to fetch it. This is also an excellent way to beat stress. It makes a person feel good to throw something away forcefully when the person is all worked up.  It is not really the throwing part that we are interested in. It is the fetching part. Each time you get up to fetch it back; you are giving yourself a chance to stretch those muscles and joints.

• If you can’t think of any thing else to do try punching your pillow. Not too many of us have punching bags at home and if you have a really fluffy pillow, giving it a good punching routine is just as good as anything else.
•  
• Turn on music and dance like wild. Let your hair down once in a while. Go back to the days of wild child hood. Close the door of your room, turn on your sound system to the highest volume possible (but a little lower than the level at which your neighbors start to complain) and then do the wackiest dance that you can think of. 

I don't know how I feel about being a parsley carrying, Frisbee fetching, pillow punching,  wacky dancer . . . so, if it's okay with you, I think I'll stick to my fruit and veggies and rowing!
