Something You Might Not Know…
“Hey, Suemae, want to join us for Yoga?”
No, thank you. Even though it is the “in” thing right now apart from Pilates and joining a gym, I just don’t see myself attracted to the given reason that it is relaxing, good for health and karma, and able to help one slim down. To me it is just a paid hour to follow some guy to do stretchy and bendy poses. I could do it at home, free of charge, with my kind of relaxation exercises.
So, does this bunny actually get off her bum for exercise? Well, I reckon there will be raised eyebrows to whether this bunny has any interest in doing sports of any kind. (It is the image and the impression given, I think.) Well, just to tickle your fancy and to let out a few "Oohs" "Ahhs" and "I didn’t knew that" this will be a blog about the sports I did in my life.
I am a rather competitive person and I think I am a sore loser. Thus, my choices in sports are those where I can be in control of the situation and I know I am good at it. Team sports… well, they are not exactly my cup of tea. The only form of exercise and sport that I enjoy doing it till this day on a regular basis is walking and maybe, swimming. I would hit the gym to play with some equipment if I have access to one if I had the spare time.
I walk. Yup. I enjoy hour-long brisk walks and could actually last pretty long. It would be made better if there is a good companion to share a little conversation at some point of time and keep up with the pace. Sad to say, hardly there are any who would and could apart from Rajiv and Sunil. As for swimming, well… I do not fancy the pool rules, with swimming caps… Okay, maybe I am a little self-conscious about the way I look in a bathing suit.
All my life I could not run for nuts. I remember how much I hated sport days back in school. Thus in elementary school, I did a little handball and some table tennis since I was not tall enough then for other games. However, strangely, I was involved, just a little with long jumping for track and field. How peculiar.
In my junior and high school years, I did do a little basketball and badminton in which I did join a few competitions and had a few larger games. I was in the chess club for a while (for which I hardly attended). But I do love the days of Taekwondo. It was the only sport that I was serious about (in a way). And I was good at it. I had the best times training, taking exams till I got my black belt, and most of all I love sparring and tournaments. I had a few achievements where I would smile to myself reminiscing about it even today.
There are some sports that I love. Kayaking, jet skiing and body surfing are the must dos if they are available on the beach. I like skiing too. Hmm, great times in Nagano.
So, is this a sporty bunny? Some would say that I do have the look. I could make a good poser. Apart from the adrenaline rush to boost up my moods, I exercise to keep a fit body and avoid the bigger body days. You decide.
