I walk my kids to and from school most days. Then I find a local patch of bush to hike or run, far enough to tire out my cattle dog. We hit the dog park if I’m feeling lazy.

I volunteer as a firefighter, and get plenty of exercise if I get called out on a job. I get some movement in during training.

I find gyms don’t work for me. They just feel a bit pointless. Immediate term, I need to move so that my dog won’t bug me when I’m trying to work. Medium term, I want to be fit enough to perform on the fireground. Long term sure I want to live long and well, but I can’t rely on that for motivation. Too abstract.
