I thought it was milk that does a body good.

That too, but this thread is about exercise, which also does a body good.

I wish I could play tennis. The hand-eye coordination escapes me, though.

Sojourner,

You keep saying how bad your hand-eye coordination is, but I bet if you start juggling that will improve ;)

Maybe I should start a juggling thread where I teach the basics and the benefits of juggling. hmmmm

It's quite possible that it would. The main problem for me is depth perception, which I really don't have because of my eyes.

Oh ok, well see you never told me about your eyes. I did not know about that. What is wrong, if you don't mind my asking?

I have amblyopia, or lazy eye. I had surgery for it when I was four, so you really can't tell that anything's wrong unless I'm really tired.

What it means, though, is that my eyes don't work together as they should. I did eye exercises for years as a children, focusing at different distances, and I'm sure that's kept my eyes in better health than they otherwise would be. I still do those exercise from time to time, and my eye doctor now has the same condition (which is nice) and has been able to make some helpful recommendations.

This has a huge effect on any sort of sport that involves balls flying through the air, or measuring distance visually. I'll never be a sharpshooter like my brother is. ;) Tennis, volleyball, badminton, football, basketball, etc., are all fun to play, but I smell of elderberries at them.

As I've gotten older, I've learned not to take that suckiness as hard as I used to -- instead, I focus on sports I CAN do, like cycling and swimming.

I'd love to find a good workout buddy. Exercise just isn't the same without a good buddy.

I agree! Working out with a buddy is so much more fun and keeps you motivated!
