Trying to Keep Fit

The one thing I miss the most about secondary school is PE. Now PE can divide a class, for some PE was the best lesson in the timetable, for others it was the worst hour of the day for them. I loved it. I love sport. Pretty much any sport there is I will enjoy and give it my all. I loved trying new sports and getting better and developing technique. I think what I loved the most was playing with my friends, working together as a team and having a laugh whilst we did it. Oh and winning, obviously I love winning too.

When I was at school I joined sports teams too, the rugby and netball team. I even joined a women's rounders team outside of school. I love sports, but I hate working out. Throughout lock-down I've felt really lazy and unproductive, so I try and workout but I just don't like it. It's not even that I don't know what to do, I've boxed for the past eight years so I know plenty of exercises and plenty of stretches but I just find it so boring. I'm even now trying 'couch to 5K' trying to build up to running 5K, but running is also horrible and painful and boring. If I'm going to run I need a purpose, like running to get a ball in a hoop or past a try line.

I'll have to make do for now, but I definitely can't wait to start playing sports again and I'm determined to join societies and play sports at uni. If anyone reads this and has any ideas for a fun or more interesting home workout, please let me know!
