It’s Recess Time!

Remember recess? Well, I think I’ve found the grown-up version and it’s called doing aerobics in the park with 358 of your closest friends. No joke. Every summer, a Swedish fitness group leads hundreds of peeps in a little aerobic fun. Last year, it was truly one of my favorite things about summer in Brussels. I finally made my way to the Parc last night and Friskis did not disappoint. The sky was perfectly blue. The trees perfectly green. The music perfectly cheestastic…’You’ve gotta fight..for your right..to paaaaaaaaaarty!’ And the ability to do a ‘real’ push-up still eludes me. However, getting down on the grass, running around in circles, and giggling with friends in the summer sunshine (all while getting the heart rate up) is a very good thing.
