Exercising

So growing up we did a lot of sports, probably mostly because it was a good excuse mom could use to keep working and have more time for doing things child-less (an important thing to have). Also, of course, because of all the good stuff, like life skills, social skills, motor/coordination/balance skills, etc, it brings to the table. I never enjoyed the starting or ending of these sports but I always found a way to enjoy the middle.

Martial Arts kept my energy and temper from rising to quickly, I always felt the fastest when swimming (even if I wasn't), I LOVED to dance (still love it). The gymnastics and diving taught me coordination and balance (not that I was (am) ever good at it). The one sport I ended up wishing I could play but never did as a kid was Soccer. I think it was because I enjoyed kicking the ball so much (maybe I can live vicariously though my daughter now, lol).

After high school I only did some running (it was never my favorite way to exercise) or swimming (enjoyed that more) and some stretching like things (TI CHI, Yoga, Pilates, and just plain old stretching).
