Apart from your workout do you play (or have played) competitive sports, or for that matter, sports in general?
I've enjoyed playing tennis, soccer, golf, softball, and swimming, most of the time competitively in the past. I've been making efforts to get back into tennis and swimming to mix up the aerobic part of my workout. To that end I recently joined a gym with a pool and could immediately feel the familiar burn in the muscles I'd been neglecting for some time.
Now it's a matter of convincing my boyfriend to join me in tennis so we can eventually play doubles against other couples. This may involve some negotiations and diplomacy as recently I shot down his idea of buying mountain bikes. Basketball and cycling are his thing, he's built for both activities, I am not. I'm all for him doing athletic activities he loves it's just that I'm personally not a huge fan of either. I feel what with his significant height and strength advantage I'd just be holding him back on the trails, he'll get bored quickly, and be wanting to leave me in the dust.
I suppose if he agrees to play tennis with me I'll have to reconsider my opposition and fears of scarring my legs up wiping out on a mountain bike. =/
And you?
