It is officially Spring (even though in some parts of the country it might not feel like it) and I think a great way to celebrate the season change is flying a kite. Since March comes in like a lion, getting a kite in the air is a way to take advantage of all that blustery wind.
I am not going to lie to you, flying a kite is not the most strenuous workout, but rather something a little more Zen. Holding a kite string and enjoying the fresh air can be therapeutic and downright meditative. However, you can burn about 100 calories with 20 minutes of kite flying. Plus, you do get a little upper body workout if the wind is really blowing. If the day is calm then you can get some sprints into your day while you attempt to get your kite aloft.
Do you have the song "Let's Go Fly a Kite" going through your head. I sure do. Do you know what movie that song is from? Tell me in the comments section below.
