I miss fear.

Seriously, I miss fear. I was watching this video on this girl who does CrossFit (which by the way, is INSANE) and she's a former gymnast like me, and says something like, When I stopped doing gymnastics I started missing that feeling of fear, I miss that feeling. And that is exactly how I feel. I also miss working out with a purpose, like doing something I like, that I get to compete at, and have goals. I need a new sport, but I'm 19, which is too old to start most sports competetively and most sports aren't thrilling enough for me. I'm feeling kinda healthier lately, I'm more concerned with making myself strong and healthy. Putting good things into my body and making my body do amazing things. That's the goal anyway. And I also want to lose weight. But maybe this kind of approach will appeal to me a bit more. And my enter key isn't working right now so I feel like this just looks like a giant ramblefest sooo I'll stop with that. I'll try to check out everyone's blogs, I feel terrible that I haven't been commenting as much, I really do love you all!!

  1. Horse riding. You're never too old to start. And there are goals and it's a good workout. Not an epic calorie burn but a good strength and toning exercise. You burn about 200 calories per hour doing it but it's just so fun

  2. Heyyy, I started doing Judo at 19. Martial arts are great for a workout and the competitive circuits include people with lower level belts. :)

  5. Those are all great ideas above, and I was actually going to suggest marathon too, especially since it's cheap and easy to take up (not easy to do, but to start running is easy-even if it's just around the block the first few times), but another good one is joining a rugby league. Rugby is usually learned (at least in my area) at a later age because it's so aggressive, but its a phenomenal workout both cardio and toning.

    Goodluck!
