The human body has a need for movement.  Sitting is unnatural. In our technology society we are doing more of

it than ever.  As I was on a short five mile kayak trip after Thanksgiving I found a bottle lying in the water with

barnacles on it.  The bottle was just sitting in the water and the barnacles attached to it.  Think about the relationship

between the sitting human body and the sitting bottle in the water.  After sitting hour after hour, day after day we collect

body barnacles. They come in the form of excess weight, excess stress and excess TV. 

Is it time to scrape off the body barnacles? 

Just try to;

• Take that walk you have put off,
• Take that jog you have put off,
• Take that kayak trip you have put off,
• Take that bike ride you have put off,
• Take that fitness center workout you have put off,
• Take that morning stretch you have put off,
• Take that physical you have put off,
• Take that swim at the health club you have put off,
• Take that spinning class you have put off,
• Take that stretch band workout that you put off.

Take that in which you have put off so some of your body barnacles will begin to loosen up and fall off. 

It is hard to attach a barnacle to a moving body.
