Reply #22: Not physically athletic at all [View All]

Growing up with a heart condition, I just wasn't athletic at all. I tire more easily than most. Though I do enjoy some things.

While I'm not really clumsy, it can take me more than a few tries to learn a new dance step or a new areobics routine. It can be enjoyable if I'm allowed to learn at my own pace. A lot of group things, such as sports, that's not possible. You are more or less required to fit in with the group and keep up.

I don't really enjoy playing sports because 1) I usually tire mid-way to 3/4 through the game. 2) I'm physically slower than others.

OTOH, things that require spatial ability and balance, I'm fairly good at. I liked the jungle gym, the balance beam. I like hiking and canoeing, too.
