Nope, not that sort of moving... I'm not packing bags and boxes and going somewhere else... This sort of moving is the body sort of moving. I need to get my body moving!! Walking, hiking, biking, swimming, climbing stairs, whatever it is... It's the middle of winter and it's imperative to get out and get some blood flowing through these veins!!
It's funny how many of our modern conveniences take away the need for us to actually move... Cell phones, remote controls, vacuum cleaners, cars, computers... All sorts of things. We don't walk as much as we used to. We don't move around the house as much as we used to. Yet we still eat as much as we used to... or actually more... Or we eat more unhealthy things...
Moving keeps us healthy. There was a thing on the news the other day, that people who exercise 5 times a week are 40% less likely to get a cold... Those are significant numbers!! But it means we need to get out and move... Taking more vitamins isn't going to do it... Getting more sleep isn't going to do it. Getting out and moving is what's going to do it...
Maybe, instead of giving each other fancy things for Christmas and birthdays, we should be giving memberships to the gym or to the local swimming pool or skating rink... Or we should be bequeathing tennis and squash rackets... raquets??
