Do you ever look back at the things you used to do and wonder if you are even the same person these days? I am not that large a dude but back in school I was not in terrible shape.
I ate barely anything, had yet to discover beer, and my passion was basically playing pick-up games of basketball down at the rec center.
I would stay down there for a number of hours, just running the court against anyone who desired to play, or practicing my tricks when no one wanted to play… These afternoons it’s about all I can do to watch basketball on TV, and I haven’t gotten any exercise in quite a few months, maybe longer. A few weeks ago I dug out my own basketball and went down to the courts to just shoot around a little bit and came to realize how little I had been exercising. It was totally embarrassing, so much so that I got myself an actual gym membership the next afternoon. I didn’t start working out the next afternoon, however, I just went online and purchased the gym membership. I didn’t genuinely go into the gym itself for about a week while I felt like paying for the membership was enough exercise to start with. I didn’t want to get into heavy weight lifting, or cross fit, I just was hoping for some general cardio exercise that would help me to run full court basketball games again. I would say I was not too terrible about going to the gym more than a few times each week.
