A healthy mind in a healthy body

January 24, 2013

Christian from Germany made several New Year’s resolutions. But staying in shape has been part of his daily life for years.

I ride my bike to work and back every day. But I also ride to the grocery store or to meet up with friends. It’s quick and makes my life easier. I don’t have to wait for public transportation, which improves my health and reduces my stress. ;-)

There are so many books that I want to read and I want to dedicate more time to that in 2013. Reading keeps my mind running and that is at least as important as keeping my body in shape.

USER COMMENTS

Vanda, Brazil: "I enjoyed reading what Chris said about riding a bike often, but unfortunately, not everybody can do it in a big city in my country. It can be dangerous. There aren’t lanes for cyclists and sometimes there are accidents. Cyclists complain the car drivers don’t respect a bike. One must be very careful. Isn’t it a pity?"
