Why limit physical activity to the gym?

A lot of people tend to think that by being on a program like Sleek Geek, you have to go to gym every day.

Well, to be honest, not really.

Why limit physical activity just to gym?

I run a group called OUTdoorsJHB which basically promotes outdoor activities for like-minded guys based in the Joburg area.

In recent months I've gone Rap-Jumping, Rock Climbing, Trapeze Swinging and this past weekend we did a Canopy Tour in the Magalies.

When I was living in Cape Town, it was a lot easier to do more outdoor activities and i would often go for a run along the Seapoint promenade or get a bicycle from Point Virgin Active and take it for a ride all along the coast line to Clifton and back...

There's also the beautiful Green Point Park - which is something that makes us Joburgers very envious...

I guess all i'm trying to say is dont limit yourself. If you feel that gym gets a bit monotonous, go cycle with a cycle group or take a hike with a hiking group... But get out there!

Joburg, has a lot to offer and my purpose with OUTdoorsJHB is to spend less time in the same old restaurants, having the same meals, talking about the same things...

Apart from having fun, you'll get a great adrenalin rush, a good work-out and it's good for your mind too!

The trick is to find what makes you tick!
