In the essay, A Plea for the Physical, the author, Kate Braid talks about there are two different kinds of person. A physical or sendentary person.
For sendentary, I check my e-mails or facebook when I'm at home. When I go shopping, sometimes I take an escalator or an elevator because I'm lazy or I didn't feel like taking the stairs. I take public buses to travel around Vancouver instead of biking there or walking there. I watch my TV shows instead of going out there and do some fun excerises in my free time.
My parents wish I can fall into more physical type because it is good for me. I enjoy these happy years.
