"Playing games takes the 'work' out of working out."

Larry Magid has been writing about fitness for several years now. Like many of us, his long career as a computer-using journalist left him with a body that sorely needed to be taken a lot more seriously. This is what led him to starting his NoBellyPrize.com website. Which, in turn, led him to being the first reviewer with enough sensitivity to understand one of the key contributions of Junkyard Sports.

In his review he writes:

Participating in competitive sports such as soccer, football, basketball, baseball, hockey and volleyball can be a great way to get and stay in shape whether you're 7 or 70. Playing games takes the 'work' out of working out. You don't 'work' basketball, you 'play' it.

What a wonderful way to describe what Junkyard Sports is all about: "You don't 'work' basketball, you 'play' it." Gotta love it.

And then, even better, Larry shares a personal experience that underscores why Junkyard Sports is such a welcome invitation to fitness:

I played many games with my kids when they were growing up including 'formal' ones like tennis, softball, basketball and the like. But the game that I most remember happened one day in a park, just after we finished a picnic lunch. We had some aluminum foil left over from our sandwiches so we rolled it up into a ball and started playing junkyard baseball. Part of the game didn't even involve a bat - we just threw the 'ball' and ran the basis as if we had hit it with a bat. Later one of the kids found a broken off tree limb that served as a perfectly good bat. The kids and I had a great time running around the make shift bases and, by the way, we got a great workout in the process.
