[quote=Anonymous]I was a scrawny, awkward, underweight girl - last picked for the team. Hated PE because the teachers always assumed you knew the basic rules of the ball game and I never did. Wasn’t allowed to play team sports and grew up with decidedly unathletic parents who didn’t watch any sports on tv.

So. I ended up doing competitive cheer and dance in high school and through college. Completely self-taught. This led to a now life long interest in endurance and flexibility and lastly, health and personal fitness.

I’m 55, menopausal and have 3DC. Just had a mountain vacation where I walked 8 miles a day including intentional 5 mile hikes. Did it all easily and joyfully but then again, I exercise daily - typically walking 3 miles a day with a weighted vest.

I exercise and remain active because I have osteoporosis. That’s right, bones of an elderly lady. I must work on my balance and do doctor ordered weight bearing exercises daily.

Do I feel superior to others? I’ll be honest, I work with young students and often challenge them to keep up with me while we “walk and talk” and usually they can’t! My DH can’t keep up with me and he’s a former college athlete.
