[quote=Anonymous]I was a serious athlete fro age 12 onward, swimming then crew. I had enormous quads, the kind that won’t fit in jeans, for a decade. My back was ripped. God, I loved that body. Never kept me from dating, but I would have chosen my sport over boys any day. I stopped rowing seriously in my 20’s and I’m now late 40’s. I don’t work out much and I’m soft and squishy. BUT - there is some echo or memory of strength in there. I don’t know if it’s the actual muscle still remembers, or that I simply have confidence that my body can do hard things, but I continue to be able to lift heavy things and move my body. That is so important as we age. My mom, who has an identical body type, always feared “lifting” and her middle age and now old age is more limited than I hope mine will be due to strength and mobility. So grateful to my teen athlete self![/quote]
