All you guys are so inspiring, I've only been lifting fairly seriously for a year now, and hadn't really been active since I was 14, when I stopped doing competitive show jumping and dressage (horses).
I also used to compete in cross country running in school, and was on the basketball team (tall) . From 14-33 I was wrapped up in drugs and nightlife, and when I got sober I went to the YMCA three times a week as part of my rehab, and sorta got interested in the benefits of working hard and seeing results. But last year I got my first real gym membership. I'm really enjoying it.

It's rowing....either sculling (each person has two oars), or sweep (each person has one oar) styles. Boats like this (they are sweep rowing):
I would say I've always enjoyed being active and pushing myself to my limits physically. Once i wasn't doing anything competitive anymore, being in the gym was a way to keep scratching that itch.
I've been working out for over 15 years. I played tennis in high school and was on the dance team at the University of South Carolina (called the coquettes....their website Home of the Carolina Coquettes Football Dance Team)
But it wasn't until I met my husband that I started working out. It went from aerobics 15 years ago to some weights 10 years ago to serious weights 5 years ago. I feel better today about my self and my body than I ever have.

Thanks for that! That looks interesting and fun!
Wow, minor heart surgery at age 18. You are tough! Training has so many benefits. Props to you!
I love the confidence that weight training gives to women! It's amazing to watch my clients train and transform their bodies and to watch them blossom in so many ways.
You look great in your avatar!
