"Shake Your Booty!"
Hello folks, welcome to my porch -- my very sunny porch! The
weather here in Northeast Louisiana is perfectly beautiful. Our
farmers are all in high gear getting their equipment ready for the
season so they can pounce as soon as the ground dries out and
I'm doing everything I can in order to hit the road next week for
the Great Southern Wing and a Prayer Tour! I hope you'll join us
In the meantime, however, I'm delighted to sit a spell and visit
with friends! So, come on, let’s chat…~smile~
I admit it. I’m not in the best shape of my life. I thought I’d get that
out there before broaching today’s topic: Personal Trainers for
Children. Ripped from the headlines of New York City, mommies
are hiring personal trainers for their offspring, children as young
as five. They’re serious. I’m trying to be.
We’re not talking about poor city people or I’d feel sorry for their
kiddos not having backyards to play in and I wouldn’t dream of,
well, weighing in. I realize city people can’t lock their younguns
outside like I did and my mama did before me.
I still remember my kids’ faces as they tried to slide the patio door open from the
outside, looking at me as if to say “It’s locked!” “I know,” I’d answer,
“Now shoo!” But, let’s get real. Hiring Suzie Q a personal trainer
at $85 an hour points to other problems. Here’s a clue: One of the
parents interviewed said, “Her child was benefiting from the one
on one activity.” You think?
Look, before this trend goes any further and someone starts
thinking about circuit training those adorable pot bellies off my
grandbabies and I have a fit and fall out, perhaps we could take
a cue from some folks at the other end of the aging spectrum.
Did y’all see that news piece on NBC about the nursing home
residents that went to the bikers’ bar? Indeed, they needed some
R and R and someone thought leather, pink hair, and fake tattoos
would be just what the doctor ordered.
While there’s something about biker seniors that makes me
smile, I’m in no way suggesting that anyone hit the bars. I’m just
saying, many of the obesity trends in this country could be
reversed if we all followed the Biker Grannies’ lead and just got
up and started moving. Or, as one mature biker babe put in
when reporting on the activities of her ninety-seven year old friend
who took to the dance floor with her walker, “She shook her
booty and she shook it good!”
Hugs,
Shellie
