Today, I want to talk about volleyball! I played volleyball in high school, and we were generally 3rd in our division and played against the two best teams in the state. I also played my freshman year at a tiny women's college, but our team was not as good. I think we won one game! But, no matter how good the team I'm on is, I love to play.
Yesterday, I went to play at my hometown recreation center. They have adult volleyball on Tuesday nights, and I have been trying to go every week. I am not as good a I used to be (since I am out of practice and a bit out of shape), but I love to play. I have been using "my fitness pal" to track my food and exercise, and according to them playing volleyball for 2 hours competitively in a gymnasium burns about 1350 calories! Now I know why I was so skinny when I was playing ever day!
This is me, 40 lbs lighter, my freshman year of college when I was playing volleyball every day. I am not trying to be this skinny again, I am hoping to lose about 20 lbs. |
Did you play any sports in high school or college? Do you still play sports? Do you do any nontraditional workouts?
oooo I like the idea of "wellness wednesday"...maybe I'll join you in this endeavor!
