As much as being physically active on the weekends can be a whole lot of fun and enjoyable, I prefer a more sedentary weekend lifestyle and I will tell you why. Being physically active can be amazing cause you get to be outdoors, the majority of the time with friends, catching up on how the week went, the newest jokes in town, the latest trends in the country, sharing opinions on news of things going on around the globe, as well as sharing new business and work ideas. On the other hand, having a sedentary weekend is as well enjoyable and fun-filled for me for a whole lot of reasons, but I'll give just 3.

Screen Time:

I get to catch up on my ‘lost’ screen time during the week which includes my favourite TV shows (and any other interesting show been shown) as well as play the newest video games, which I get to play alone most of the time, well, it's a sedentary weekend right. Well, these extend to finishing up carry-over work from the office and touring my favourite websites. Getting the remaining work done at home gives me a better edge for the new week as I won't have to go back to previous undone work which can be quite draining for me.

Cruising In My ‘A’ Babies:

Right there, I mean, my Automobiles. Generally, I love driving, alone, usually on a slow kinda-walking speed. In moments like this, I get to have a time of reflection and gather up my thoughts. Any little frustration building up from the week usually goes away in such rides which usually doesn’t last more than an hour.

Here comes my favourite one. I read a lot, novels especially. During the week, my 9-5 hours job doesn’t give me enough time to catch up on my favourite books. So, on my weekends, I try to catch up on as many as I can.

Trying Out New Recipes:

Being a food lover, you can tell I'll always want to try out new dishes. Since I don't get to do that during the week, I make up for lost time on weekends. Try out new recipes for dishes, and sometimes I bake too. Well, after cooking and baking and fulfilling my kitchen duties to myself, my family gets to come over and help me do justice to the meals cooked as well as judge the qualities of any new dish prepared. I also cook and store dishes for the week ahead so I get to have a more stress-free week. Now, what is an enjoyable weekend at home without good food?

Well, there you have it. These and many more are the reasons why I always prefer a sedentary weekend lifestyle to a physically active one. Catching up on those kinds of stuff listed above gets me refreshed and set for a new week. A sedentary lifestyle works for most introverts, guess I’m one.
