Aging and The Importance of Leisure,[object Object],By: Reagan Lovig,[object Object]
Abstract,[object Object],The importance of leisure is something that should be stressed throughout everyone’s lifetime.  The beauty of leisure is that it can be defined by the individual.  Whether it is an active sport, a game of some kind, reading or writing, watching a movie, or even conversing with family and friends, leisure can exercise the body and the mind, and can help with the aging process at the same time.,[object Object]
Why I chose this subject…?,[object Object],I have always been quite active growing up.  Both my Mom and my Grandmother (seen here in the picture, enjoying a glass of wine with me) have stayed very active throughout their lives, which always inspired me and drove me to find out more statistics on the subject. I am very passionate about personal health and believe that an active, leisure-filled lifestyle will provide a a strong mind and body throughoutoneslifetime.  ,[object Object]
Definitions of Leisure,[object Object],“Leisure can be accurately defined as some measure of time from which a person is released from those responsibilities which normally or routinely pertain to the duties they are compelled to perform” (yourdictionary.com),[object Object],“Is broader than recreation in that it may be used for other nonplay purposes” (Kraus, Barber, Shapiro. 2001),[object Object],Freedom from engagement (brainyquote.com),[object Object]
Types of Leisure,[object Object],	Although there are various types of leisure, and can depend on the individual, I have split it into 2 categories: those that are generally more active, and those that are somewhat more inactive in nature.  ,[object Object],#1,[object Object],[object Object]
Going to the gym
Running
Cycling
Rock climbing
Team sports (basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, etc.)
And a variety of others…#2,[object Object],[object Object]
