[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish someone had to taught me to exercise in a self sufficient way. Team sports are great for a whole heap of reasons when you are young but I didn't learn how to exercise independently until my thirties because I simply didn't know how to put a plan together (and I was intimidated to try). It's been life changing. [/quote] Yes. I never learned the importance of exercise in the context of keeping myself healthy. My dad was an immigrant for whom physical exertion was equated with the labor-class, physical jobs that he'd done as a poor teen and young adult in his home country. He immigrated to escape that, and wasn't going to go back. The idea that you'd run, or swim, or whatever, for fun and exercise, was anathema to him. I still struggle to incorporate healthy activity into my daily routine. [/quote]
