ENERGY
Wow, there are so many forms of energy that it becomes hard to focus on
one with a 250 word maximum. What was
the first thought that came to mind when you saw that ENERGY is the Twenty Minute
Coach’s word of the day? Was it kinetic ENERGY?
That is ENERGY that moves an object. Get
up out of your computer chair and do 10 jumping jacks. You have just practiced the use of kinetic
ENERGY by moving your body. If you walk
outside and stay in the light for twenty minutes you acquire your vitamin D for
today from the radiant ENERGY of light.
If you lift weights, you use gravitation ENERGY. If you wrap up in a blanket you are using
thermal ENERGY. If you purchase a
Starbucks you are exercising economic ENERGY. If you brew your tea outdoors you are using
solar ENERGY. If you touch your toes or
reach for the stars you are practicing elastic ENERGY. If you are pulled toward another book, most
likely magnetic ENERGY is at play. If
you eat a healthy lunch you are providing your body with metabolic ENERGY to
fuel your afternoon activities. If you
observe a lightening strike you have observed 500 megajoules of electric
potential ENERGY converted in light ENERGY, sound ENERGY, and thermal
ENERGY. ENERGY surrounds us and available
and potential ENERGY is at our beckon call.
It cannot be destroyed nor can it be created. It is there for our use always. In the meantime take a nap and practice resting
ENERGY.
