People often think that the schedules of real estate agents are very fluid, allowing us to do what we want when we want. Hah! Forget about regular lunch hours and healthy meals. We can't even always count on the time we get to go home. Sometimes that means eating dinner late and often we lean more towards convenience than conscious healthy meal consumption. You know what that means...bad meal choices, irregular eating hours and catch as catch can exercise opportunities leads to unhealthy life styles.
Working towards the IMSDesignation (Internet Marketing Specialist) only added to my already heavy schedule BUT it also introduced me to Facebook which in turn gave me a much better look at my local community. It turns out that someone I've known for more than 15 years teaches hooping at the Jackson County Recreation Center in Cullowhee, NC. Kelly Jewell-Timco posts YouTube videos about hooping and announces her classes on Facebook. She also makes her own hoops and other than the fact that they are round, there is no similarity between her hoops and those that you would buy at the big box department stores.
I was hoop hooked. Before I knew it, I owned three hoops. One large hoop, one filled with water and a small hoop for hand hooping. Finally I've found an exercise that is fun and effective. Hooping is more like playing than working out. It keeps a connection to childhood alive, the equipment is pretty and the whole thing has a real "cool" factor. I'm loving it.
In order to be a good Realtor, we all need to take care of ourselves. We are helping consumers make critical decisions with their most important assets. We have to keep our wits sharpened. Besides constantly keeping up to date on our local markets and real estate laws, we have to keep our bodies active too.
I've learned that there are active hooping circles (pun intended) everywhere. If you are looking for an exercise you will look forward to doing, check out hula hooping!
