Chapter 6: Play..................................................................................................................
I have learned to focus my training on one major goal: so I can play—hard! I hope you can get into
that same mindset. Why else do we want to be strong and fit and able to run and jump? In order
to enjoy our existence. Being unable to walk up those stairs or lift that box of books equals just
another thing to worry about and stress over. When you don’t have to worry about the physical stuff
anymore, or the aches and pains, you can start enjoying life again. Stress dissipates, melts away.
Life is good when you’re able to play.
The way I see it, the ability to play (Primal Blueprint Lifestyle Law # 7)—to engage in unscripted,
random bouts of youthful exuberance with loved ones, friends, and family—is the ultimate goal of
Primal Blueprint Fitness. I’ve already stated that enjoyment of life is what being fit is all about. I
maintain my fitness in order to enjoy life, rather than hobble around from waiting room to waiting
room. What better way to muster some real happiness than to play like a kid again? This is an ab-
solutely integral aspect of the Primal Blueprint Fitness program. When playing, you’re often getting
exercise without even knowing it. Plus, play has been a vital part of our lives for many thousands
of years, used as a way to unwind, connect with community, or—quite simply—enjoy life.
