it's not just for your self-esteem...
Jul. 19th, 2004 12:43 pmSo... a point of interest that I've extracted from comments on the obesity crisis poll-ish thing. We all have really different ideas about what constitutes in/out of shape, and what our target levels of fitness or health or whatever are. Duh.
I'm curious what your definition is. So, tell me what your personal fitness goals are, if you have them. But don't think (if you do usually) in terms of how you look, but of things you do. What can you do now that you think is cool/evidence of your physical skill? What do you wish you could do that you can't yet?
I currently: can swim or dance for 2-3 hours without getting tired, throw a frisbee left or right handed, and have massively improved my grip and forearm strength in the past few months, among other things.
I would like to: bend over backwards and touch my head to my toes again, do a better belly roll (a dance thing), and most importantly always have something I could get physically better at on the horizon.
