Cornhole Bags

Does anyone play Cornhole Bags? If you listen to the experts you learn two things.  First, lack of exercise is a problem in our society.  We spend too much time sitting in front of the TV, behind our desks, in the car, on the couch, or even at a restaurant.  Even though sitting is not a completely bad thing, the problem is we just plain do too much of it.  That's why we're all getting fat.

It seems that in our modern world, we just don't move around like we used to.  We should spend more time running, jogging or even walking.  We should be taking more stairs and less escalators.  The American Cancer Society reported recently that people who don't exercise are endangering their health just as much as people who smoke!  Not only that, but people who don't exercise--even a small amount--are twice as likely to get heart disease as people who exercise.

Years ago when John F. Kennedy was president, there was a craze that swept the nation resulting in large numbers of people walking or jogging.  Some tried to see how far they could go in a day.  Some went 20, 25 or even 30 miles in a day.  Even four decades ago people were worried that we sat around too much.  Today, no one is asking Americans to walk 30 miles.  Just play an outdoor family game together like Cornhole Bags.

So, if we admit that we're getting a little fat as a nation, what can we do about it?  Again, the experts tell us that even a moderate amount of exercise will help.  People are starting to recognize this as evidenced by the increasing popularity of outdoor family games.  There are many to choose from and they're priced within reach of even the most budget conscious consumer.  It's an inexpensive way to add exercise to our regular routine.
