What’s your favorite way to stay active?
Want to join the discussion? We post a question on our Facebook each month. Give us an answer and photo, and you might end up in the magazine or online.
Joshua: I love to explore my community by riding my bike or going for a jog. It’s nice to slow down a little but still get that sweet kick of endorphins.
Martina: Dancing. I am a dance teacher.
Jill: Spending time outside hiking, running, or sightseeing. We like to run a 5k each month.
Devon: Variety is key. While I’ve always been a long-distance runner, this year I began incorporating other activities, including weightlifting and yoga. Now, each day brings something new and exciting.
Marty: I am a runner of marathons. The best part is I am now a paid coach and coordinator at Fleet Feet Tulsa, so it’s not only a great way to stay active; I get paid to do it.
Spencer: Walking my owner, David.
Zach: I like to be active doing things like working in the yard, furniture projects and working in the garage.
Amy: I park as far away from the store or mall or whatever as possible. You can get like quadruple the steps just walking across a parking lot, and it only takes a few extra minutes.
Kenneth: My church does a #Joyride mission that includes building and gifting bicycles to foster children in Tulsa County.
Lisa: Have a toddler.
Anna: I like to get involved in the 5k charity runs held throughout the year.
Charles: I like doing stuff outside. If I’m inside, I’m going to be lazy. Get me outside, and I’m energetic and excited like a puppy. Inside I’m more like an old dog.
Brad: I ride a bicycle. I’ve found my bicycle does not lie to me or cheat on me, and my personal favorite, does not actively recruit someone that can ride better.
Wayne: Disc golf.
Joy: I exercise five days a week at Orangetheory Fitness in midtown.
Cathy: I go to the gym and work out on the elliptical and the treadmill, do some weights. I wouldn’t say it’s my ‘favorite,’ necessarily, but it’s what I have to do to stay active.
Whitney: Barre classes.
Ryan: I go to the gym. I also walk my dog three or four times a day.
