Why in my life did I EVER think that dance would the "easy way out"? Mrs. Carrick had quite rightly told me not to look for one, but I had assumed so for the wrong reasons. It's not about doing an activity that requires less input and being able to pass it off as Action; its about not being able to find such an activity that would in fact be 'easy'.
I mean, when you're running laps around the field, it doesn't really matter if you look like an oaf as long as you finish the distance. On the other hand, dance not only requires coordination, flexibility, strength and stamina, it requires you to look good while doing it. That too, with a smile on your face!
Seriously, though, I think it's not a matter of finding an easy way out, but finding a programme that suits you. I could never (and neither could anyone else for that matter) picture me running around the field kicking around a ball as a sorry excuse for playing sports. During one of the Sports Days, I literally ran through the hurdles! I think it's a matter of finding an activity that I believe is worth the time, and effort, and gives me results that I can be proud of. Only then can I be motivated to push myself to the limit.
Action: that's what it's all about.
I'm off to shake my booty.
