Do you want to become more physically active? Interested in pursuing healthy ageing through enjoyable and enduring movement? A good way to start is by identifying physical pursuits you might find satisfying. Sounds good in theory but not sure where to go for ideas? This book should help.
In 26 Ways to Keep Moving, Gordon and Riley Spence explore the many ways people get enjoyment and satisfaction from a wide range of physical pursuits. Using an A-to-Z format, they showcase 26 conventional and unconventional forms of sport and recreation. Everything from Fencing, Ice skating and Surfing, to Bog-snorkelling, Extreme ironing, and Quadball!
Each chapter is focused on a different physical pursuit, with the same simple structure:
• What is it?
• When and where did it originate?
• What are its rules? (to the extent there are any)
Most importantly, each chapter has a section devoted to The Joy of it All. This is where readers get to hear about the passion people have for their physical pursuits, what they love about them and value, and how they support healthy ageing through enhanced physical, psychological and social wellbeing.
This book will challenge you to think more imaginatively and expansively about your physical activity options, and closer to making one of the best decisions of your life – choosing an enjoyable way to keep moving!
