i miss sports
Comments(38) I was talking to my other half the other day about sports and i remembered how much i miss it.
I like ‘movement’ since i was little.
My dad had an aunt who was a great ballet teacher. I was 5 and my sister was 3 years old (as far as I remember) when we started taking ballet lessons. I remember my grandma used to pick us up from school and some hours later our mom would come pick us up from granny and take us to ballet lessons.
I also remember mom always told granny the ballet lessons start one hour early, so we’d be there in time because my grandma talks to much and we were afraid of being late.
I think my sister and I took ballet lessons for 4 or 5 years..
After that, there was a looong break from sports. We only used to go out and play with the other kids. oh, and there was a time when my dad and i made push ups, abdominal exercises and all sorts of exercises we were able to do indoors (he was trying to lose wight and i was also a bit… “balloon style”)
Meantime, in school, i realized i actually like sport classes. And since i used to kick my colleagues ever since i started going to school, i started Wing Tsun classes in the 9th grade.
My mom and my grandma were desperate! I always came home with a new bruise to add at the collection, a new ache (my arm, a foot… something had to hurt).
Mom tried to convince me to quit but i am a bit too stubborn 
I liked kung fu so much i actually put my grade diplomas on the wall.
I loved practicing wing tsun. It was relaxing and hard at the same time. But it felt good to be able to make 30 push ups without rolling on the floor after, or running or swimming without having to take a break every 2 minutes, or having your colleagues tell you how good you look!
Unfortunately this only lasted for 2 years.
First of all, the ‘teacher’ (wrote it with quotes, let me explain) took this less and less serious. He saw i managed pretty good and at times he asked me to fill his place so he’d go do something else. I wasn’t learning anything new, it began to be a bit annoying.
Then there was my dad who always has to pick on me. “you’re not learning enough for school”, “you’re coming home to late”.. and so on. So one day i remember being so annoyed i said i’ll quit. Since that day i actually quit wing tsun and I’m still sorry.
Luckily i moved back to the old apartment i grew in. Ramona and I re-bounded and went to karate classes together, for a while. But we quit that too. I was too busy with college, she was too busy with work and so … that was the last time i practiced sports.
My beloved practiced martial arts too 
He also had to quit because of work and he also missed it.
I miss practicing sports. I remember i felt much better when i came home from classes. I ate better, i slept better, i learned better. Now i feel like a raw vegetable.
But all is not lost. I can’t wait for spring to come (it actually came already but it’s cold outside) and maybe i’ll go jogging on the “public passage” (have no idea how to translate it in english, it’s a long quiet street on which people jog or walk their children… it’s very nice).
I just need.. the mood.

I don’t like sports as much as you do, but to stay in shape during the cold winter months, I’d do a bunch of body weight circuit exercises. There’s one circulating around the internets with the name of something like “Prison Cell Workout”. It’s basically a Burpee routine, but wow, what a workout. I feel great.
I am totally a sporty person.I really like to play different games at different time.keep posting such type of contents in your blog.
Well i love cricket, actually i like kinda sports in which the whole body has something to do. Keep posting i love to share my sporty days ….
Wait, is ballet dancing a sport? Sorry I’m used to board sports like wakeboarding, skateboarding etc. And ball sports. Have you had any experience in that?
i don’t know if i can call it a sport, but it’s full of stretching, jumping or running on toes
I also played basketball, but only a bit in school, during brakes or sport classes (and also when i used to jump fences to get into a basketball field
)
i used to play tennis before i had a child. now that i am a stay at home mother, i miss the sun and the wind on my skin.
Thanks! it is a very good post. This is the post i liked the most till today and i read it fully with total interest because i am also a sporty person and likes to play all the games. please work more on this type of posts to make them more interesting. i want more posts in the future.
Best of luck!

@web designer mom: you have a comment approved right on this page
There are a lot of comments marked as spam, i have no idea why (including this one you just posted) and i may have accidentally deleted some and i apologize to everyone if this happened 
Aim to walk briskly (swinging your arms) for 30 minutes, each day. This should include at least one reasonably steep slope. Please note: This may take you several months to achieve, so don’t be in a hurry. Remember, exercise is for LIFE!
Stand up straight with legs apart and both arms stretched straight out in front of you, at chest level. Without moving your hips, swing your arms (parallel to the floor) as far to the left as you can – and then to the right. Do this 20 times.
I know how you feel, I have played sports my entire life. It began with football which I played for 8 years quitting halfway through high school. During high school I was a wrestler as well which was amazing. But after high school I was not involved in playing anymore sports until last year.
I started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which is a martial art somewhat similar to wrestling involving grappling and submission locks. I love it and am so happy that I have begun competing again feels great.
Dance is great exercise. I’ve taken ballroom, tap, jazz, hip-hop. Jazz was especially great exercise.

Shadow boxing has always been a major part of a boxers workout and rightly so; Not only does it give you a chance to work on your technique and perfect your style, but it also gives you a chance to spar against any opponent of any style within the depths of your mind.
I can not live without sports.
I miss sports too. As much as you missed it though I didn’t went to a ballet class.(but back when I was a child I really wanted to try ballet) I used to play volleyball in highschool and I was a part of our school’s pep squad. Aaaahh I missed moving so much too. Now that I am in college, I haven’t joined any activity in our university because i’m too busy with my studies and I have no time for extra-curricular activities.
But I am hoping that soon I will be able to do the things I did when I was younger.
Have a nice day!
nothing like a good roundhouse kick to the face to keep you going lol jk
public passage – do you mean street or side walk
Either way, I hope the weather is good enough for you to get out and about now.
Sports culture is a great microcosm of life. It teaches you a lot of things and it also keeps you fit, thats why I miss sports too..
Really i like sporty information on your blog.
Sports, I’m up to it. I missed playing badminton. But what I want to learn now is to swim. I admit that I do have hydro phobia but to overcome it I am planning to enroll in a swimming class this summer. Hope I could learn fast.
Even science reveals how the endorphins affect your pleasure zones in the body, its almost like drug dependence for me :-}
that’s great i love sport its too much specially baseball or football its my favorite game of one of them…….when i was in 5 years old so i was beginning started that time…other wise i love it very much
I miss sports too… Just having had much time lately. It’s just all around good, more people should really get involved!
Yes,I miss too,I need to do more sports because I am very fat now.
Sports is a recreational activity. I enjoy sports a lot because it helps me to maintain my health while enjoying. I am sure many people think that sports is cool.
I am the big Fan of cricket game and Now a days I really miss the cricket and twenty twenty cup start will be soon.
Now, i only have limited time for my sports habit.
I usually play basketball with my girl friends but
right now it takes only Saturdays for my sport.
and Sundays for my family affair at the church.
ooo i liked your post,i missed so much swimming. when i was in school i went to the swimming pool two times per week, but since i left and i got to college i can’t do it as many times as i’d like… only in summer and a few times… now i would like to learn playing basketball, because i always enjoy watching the games, but i have never played!but i’m not as sporty as you are, hope i become!
i miss sports ,too .
but every day, i just think of it ,and still sit in the office with my own feet stick.
Hi ! I really miss sports. When I was in school I did swimming twice in a week. I think swimming is a nice sport to be an athletic. But now I don’t have that much free time to do sports. I feel jealous when I see sportsmen on TV. I liked your article very much. U reminded me my childhood days. Thanks for writing…
Hi,I love sports and i really liked your post.
I remember my boxing lessons and how I got my nose broken. One must try and if it does not kill you, will make you stronger. Love your article. I will pass it on to my readers also.
I hope you gone back to working out again. Nothing like a good toned body like Nadia Comaneci
