Sports background

[Rebecca D]

I always hear guys talking about their high school and college athletic days...what about us ladies. I read a lot of post mentioning playing sports as a start to your life in fitness.

I was a tennis player in high school. I was captain of the tennis team my senior year. In college I was on the dance team for the football and basketball games for two years. I believe this foundation of being athletic at a young age has helped me be healthy and active today. (at the young age of 43).

Please share your fitness/athletic background.

I was captain of my high school varsity volleyball and softball teams all 4 years. Played softball in college until I was injured. Taught me a lot of discipline! Gave me the drive to keep me in shape after I was finished.

Oooohhh... good idea!

I was always up to something! I played baseball for 15 years, and basketball for 13. When I was finished school, I did a little BJJ, Muay Thai and K-box

I agree with you Rebecca, having an athletic background certainly helped in making healthly choices and staying active :

For me it was figure skating (synchronized + speed skating) yoga and ballet (as helpers to skating)

I've stuck with yoga because it is so therapeutic.

Always wanted to play volleyball in school but I was too embarrassed because I thought I was no good at it!!

Yeah it is lol.. you gotta be really committed to it and it can get pretty expensive. I haven't done it professionally since I broke my ankles and messed up my tendons but my balance is still okay because of the yoga.
