Cycling is good exercise, even if you do it non-competitively.

@teamfreak16 I do too, even in sports where I'm competing against others.

When I was in school, we participated in throwball competitions. A few years later, I participated in badminton competition, and was THIRD. I love playing..and physical activity. Now that home loans are over (or nearly over) I am seriously considering restarting my gardening project, which was closed down for the last three years because we did not have enough rains.

@TheHorse .. Yes. :) Folks fight for water if it gets too tough. So dad said stop that activity. I stopped.

My Sunday has been beautiful, we enjoyed our picnic and had a nice walk. Today is a holiday here, so we went out early this morning for a walk on the lake shores. Tomorrow it's back to work day.

@TheHorse In most of the north Swiss Cantons the students were back to school yesterday, it's colder up there. Here they go back at the end of August.

Sounds wonderful. I have to get back into work mode today (Monday). Teach my first class of the Semester tonight.

Congratulations, pony, to you and your teammates! I am sure you are all stoked to the max!

I haven't done any sports in many years... I used to lift weights in competition and I used to compete in a mixed martial arts competition. (I did Tae Kwon Do.)

@TheHorse I didn't stop doing either of those by my choice! I was ordered by the judge in my first divorce to stop taking Pretty to the gym because her mother claimed she was afraid Pretty would get hurt amongst the weight lifters. (This didn't even get brought up until six years after we started going to the gym, either!) She was allowed to be in the room where the tv and stationary bikes were while I worked out with the free weights. There was nothing there to hurt her, but the judge didn't want to listen to Pretty's mom gripe in court. Same for the Tae Kwon Do. Even though we were taking Tae Kwon Do classes for two years before the divorce started. (Pretty and I were both taking the class.) It didn't make sense then and still doesn't!

@DaddyEvil Get hurt by weightlifters dropping weights on her? Don't most people use machines these days? What can be harmful about Tae Kwon Do? I don't practice Martial Arts (except in my thinking), but doesn't it teach body control and discipline, as much as or more than kicking azz?

How come you stopped? I'd think both would be good exercise, even if you don't challenge yourself as much as when you were younger.

I am not very athletic, I always wanted to learn to dance or something, but didnt get a chance. Now I think if I did anything it might be to take a yoga class

@TheHorse I have a crooked back, and so many things, well hurt. I think the balancing and stretching there would be helpful, and then maybe I could get into martial arts like I have always wanted (no competitions though... those make me panic)

Yoga sounds good. Some people I know swear by it.

I had not played softball for many years, but started playing again when I was in my early 60s. I was not the best player or the fastest but could still catch, hit and run. I played two seasons but made the manager nervous about my age. It was an over 40 league. Glad you won first place!

Thanks! Why was your manager nervous? Early 60s is not very old for softball. Most of our guys played some college ball, and all are at least 40. One or two are over 60, I think.

@JamesHxstatic Thought that you couldn't get down for ground balls or something? It's all about staying loose.

@TheHorse They were just concerned, I guess, about my age.

I don't know how you'd classify being a professional miniature golfer, "competitive sports" or not. I love the season, because I get to see all these people I've played with for 15 years and spend my summer with them. Regarding western swing, have you seen the Quebe Sisters? They blow my mind with those harmonies and three fiddles.
