How I Started Moving More Without a Gym
Want to move more, but too lazy to go to the gym? I found a life hack. I bought a Nintendo Switch — a portable console for about $200. And now every morning I look forward to warming up. Why? • The controllers work for active games. • There’s Just Dance. Like karaoke, but with dancing. You copy the moves and earn points. • There’s fitness boxing. Warm-up and punches — very energizing. By day three or four, I was loving it: I wake up and immediately get up to stretch. It’s fun, easy, and the motivation comes on its own. Plus, you can take the Switch to friends’ places, connect it to a TV, and set up a dance battle or fitness showdown. In Bali, it’s a real must-have if you want to stay active and not get bored.
