There aren’t many ways to enjoy exercise these days.  Who has the space to move freely? Who has the peace to hear themselves think? How does a person find the place or time to get the exercise they need today? The gym is a dreaded place for many people, because it cannot always be motivational. There’s little feeling of success walking on a treadmill for an hour, as opposed to walking an hour in nature. But not everyone is lucky enough to live by nature. Big cities don’t always allow people the quiet they need to focus or the space they need to exercise, so the only other option is the gym. Those kinds of options don’t get everyone excited to exercise. But heart health and basic muscle production requires a body that is put to use once in a while. This is why dude ranches are such a good option for people looking for a new way to be healthy.  Of course the point of a dude ranch is to enjoy yourself, but not everyone knows why they are having so much fun, more than they ever expected. A person gets to experience freedom of walking where they please, having hearty meals, and getting to use their hands. A person may even find his or herself learning how to ride horseback. A body can respond better to having a purpose.  Human beings were hunters and gatherers for so long, the short switch into modern society these last few centuries hasn’t translated into our DNA yet. Plainly speaking, though our minds tell us to go to the office, our bodies, want to run and jump and move. And while you think that riding a horse or making a chair with your hands is only stimulating your mind, your body feels useful when in action. The symmetry between body and mind is restored when both get to be used. When both are stimulated, a person is healthy and happy.

But people don’t always know where to look.  But they are located all over the U.S., and are very accommodating to families and single persons alike.   Montana dude ranches, for example, are some of the best around.   The point of a ranch is to go back to a time where the body and mind were both used and both needed, and feel like there is a purpose for both again.
