:arrow: Are you a slow runner like me?
:arrow: Short-distance broad jumper?
:arrow: Do you try to do push-ups, but always fail?

I know I do. The only thing I'm good at, athletic-wise, is jumping over foam cubes.

Post about how athletic--or not--you are here.

Same thing with me. I have to bend forward to limbo, even though I know you don't care about that. :?:

I'm not good at all at team sports - in fact, I was horribly overweight and out of shape most of my life because I hated to go to the gym with other people because I felt like they were all watching me and I hated to do team sports . . .

THEN I discovered that you can buy your own free weights and get a bike and get really cheap exercise equiptment off of Ebay - and now I'm addicted to weight lifting, my little stairmaster, and pilates . . .

I'd never, ever, ever do it if I had to be in a gym all the time, though - I do, occassionally (very occassionally) go to the local YMCA to use their cross country skiing machine, but only at strange hours and only until I can afford my own . . .

I am hopeless at sports! I was one of the last ones picked when it came to choosing teams for a particular sport in Physical Education class. These days I do about 40 minutes of brisk walking a day to keep excess weight off, that's about all I am good at.

:arrow: Are you a slow runner like me?
I used to run fast but then I had a pneumonia so now I can not run fast.

:arrow: Short-distance broad jumper?
I am.

:arrow: Do you try to do push-ups, but always fail?
I do not try anymore.

Nevertheless, I like sports. I practise tennis and table tennis, and in the summer bodyboarding.

J'adore les sport parce que je suis sportif. Je fait le vélo tout le temps. J'aime jouer le foot aussi!

Did you know that I like using exercise equipment for fun, not exercise? It's true. I don't have any of my own, but my uncle does. Whenever I go over there, I sometimes play with it.

I'm Absolutly horrible at sports

Basketball: I've gotten the ball in the hoop maybe a total of ten times in my life.

Football: In grade school, my time playing football at recess was usually limited to a superficial roll. I sucked at kicking, I sucked at throwing, and I had trouble holding on to the ball. Kicking, I usually would either kick it off the side of my foot, or over my head. Throwing, I could maybe throw the ball a total of ten yards. I couldn't even throw overhand, I would throw the ball like it was a shotput, and be laughed at in the process.

Baseball: I got on base a few times, Once I high school I got lucky and actually caught the ball once on defense, another time I took a swing at the ball and the bat flew out of my hands and broke a window on a car that was parked on the street.
