And if possible, what impact does this have on your private life? And especially on your professional life?

I always wanted to have an athletic body but was too lazy to do something. I came across this article https://betterme.world/articles/... and finally decided to make my dream come true. I need to gain some weight in order to build muscle so I would be very grateful for any tips and recommendations. Feel free to share your experience here or PM me.

I did kickboxing and I only learnt "never close your eyes." It caused a pretty good impact on my life. Now I don't blink my eyes even when some dangerous object is comming towards to my head. :D

@utkuuzun I have also long (very long) been a competitor in a combat sport. Are you sure it's not sooner never take your eyes off your opponent?

Maintaining a healthy weight requires dedication and perseverance, much like the process of shedding unwanted pounds. Achieving weight loss objectives involves a blend of dietary adjustments, modified eating patterns, and physical activity.

I do gym and occasionally tennis. But I personally don't treat it as a learning experience. For me, it's all about having fun. Because if I don't enjoy it, I won't do it:)

I do sports regularly. It helps me keep fit and I finally lost weight. Also, it became easier to organize my daily life since I started doing workouts.

I only started recently, but it taught me two things: - the first —and I regret to announce it— is that it positively impact health, sleep, and mood, a - the second is that I was having limiting beliefs regarding my abilities; but you gotta start to know that.

@strift Well done ! you will see that it is not easy at first. but in time it will change your life (on the good side)

Eh ! I wish I continued with sports. One thing I have learned watching sports a lot is this ability to endure and keep plugging away !

Golf, I play to a high standard and have done for some time. It's uncanny how many similarities there are to running startup. 1. You can focus on improving one area to the detriment of another. 2. Sometimes things don't go right and it's just not your day. 3. There isn't a silver bullet, you've just got to keep practicing and playing (despite point 2). 4. Your round can be over with a single mistake. 5. No one cares about you till you get good, then everyone wants to speak to you and play with you. Fortunately, with a startup, you're not on your own. You go at it with a team.

Sports taught me how to analyze losses and find the motivation to try again. Also, and just as important - the power of teamwork.

Sports are literally a lifesaver, and all kids should start early in life. The chosen sports need to match character though. In my case, it taught me resilience and discipline, precious for everything that came next.

@cristinaimre Cheer ! That's a great explanation and I totally agree with you.

For physical fitness, I play cricket, do swimming, and run. For my mind, I play chess.

I started to play Bubble football once per week for a couple of months now and I believe it taught me to adapt in all circumstances and to work in a team while being isolated. The next step for me is to participate in the annual Cheese Rolling event to challenge myself!
Camille Adamczyk
Of course I do, twice a week at least! I think sports taught me how to be patient and that everything comes in time when you train on a regular basis :)

I do swim regularly. Training and staying calm help you to stay afloat if you can not do anything else then.

I am an avid fan of horse-riding. If it learned me one thing, that would be empathy.

by learning and keep practicing swimming for year, I learnt: rhythm is more important than strength.
