Lori Matthews - Moseyosaurus
I am thrilled to be an ambassador because staying healthy and being active are so important to me. I’m not twenty-five anymore and as I age (Gracefully? Maybe not so much…) I realize that staying active not only helps me physically, but it helps my mental state too. Exercise keeps my heart pumping, but it also keeps my brain active. As a writer, my mind is always flowing with ideas for my current book or for my next one. I find exercising helps me to get into my writing mind and focus on any issues that have cropped up or just plan out my next scenes. Whether I’m walking my dog, hiking in the woods, swimming, or doing Pilates, it all keeps me moving and keeps my thoughts flowing.
When it comes to exercise the more I do now the more I will be able to do later. My mom is my hero! She’s in her later years but she plays at least nine holes of golf a week carrying her own clubs and walking the course. I know I want to be able to do that when I’m her age so exercising, eating right, and getting enough sleep now are the tools I need to get there.
This event is a fabulous way to spread the word and give people the nudge they may need to get off the couch and get moving. Staying active and being healthy are so important for all of us.
