    I have a bunch. I always loved playing pick up basketball with friends, and have played 13 year of football starting at age 11 and stopped when I was 27, 28 (missed a few seasons in between).

    I would have to go with working out (weights). I started working out in grade 10 as an under sized football player, and I had to work harder in the gym to compete with the larger guys. Even years after not playing anymore I still love strength training.

    What is you story?

    These days I pretty much primarily play soccer. When I was younger I played football and wrestled. I even had a short stint as a professional wrestler. I also enjoy sparring. If I was ten years younger I'd consider getting into mixed martial arts.

    Softball! I have played since I was 7 years old. I used to play women's ball and have played co-ed ball for about 6 years now. I love it because it's something my husband and I can do and enjoy together. :)

    I played kickball when I was younger, was excellent at that, however after moving to a new area could never find a kickball team. I was never much into sports but I did work out a lot in highschool, sometimes twice a day. I dont' remember being super fit though, probably cause my diet sucked. Now I love biking, hiking, jogging, and I want to join an adult kickball league in the spring.

    Woohoo Field Hockey!

    I got into hockey because the prissy girls all played volleyball but the field hockey girls were hilarious. That and we did half our practices with the boys soccer team AND did all of out traveling with them. Well, that and I got to play a game where I had a nice big stick. Full back. Loved it. I never really stopped.

    I grew up at a bowling alley on Friday nights while my parents bowled. They got me started on youth leagues when I was about 10 or so and I did that for a few years. Then I became good friends with a girl who had the same sort of childhood and we began bowling on the adult leagues together. I've been doing that 33 weeks a year for the past 5 years.

    One of my bowling teamates and best friends started an adult volleyball team with a doctor she works for and a few of our friends. That starts up again this week and it will be my 4th season on the league. Lots of fun!

    Hiking and geocaching. There are 2 city parks and 1 state forest within 15 min of my house, and 3 state parks, 2 rails to trails and a national forest within 1.5 hrs drive. HIking almost seems mandatory.

    And I've recently started cornholing. Not a lot of exercise, but very fun.

    I love hiking! I live in Utah, and it's so diverse here. We have the forest mountains in the north, and there is a lot of wildlife!!! Almost every time we go we see elk, moose and deer. Down south we have the gorgeous red rock! It's sooo fun climbing all over the sandstone, it's like natures playground!!!

    I really liked playing men's street hockey. That was a blast. And tennis is always a favorite. I can't wait until I lose all this weight and can buy another tennis skirt.

    Kickball right now! Some of my friends found out about a league and we signed up for the season. It's lots of fun - kinda like how you used to do when you were a kid and just played kickball together - except it's adults now and we have added beer!!!
