both are great cardio workouts. it leaves me feeling good and youthful .. regardless of whether i win or lose.
story ... i love inspiring people to be the best person they can be. everywhere i go, i encourage people to stay active. take up a sport and be active. there's an older gentleman at work who has a bad back due to scoliosis (sp?). he also had poor vision. he had several operations to fix his eye sight. and after hearing me talk about how squash makes me feel alive, it inspired him to play racquet ball again. he hadn't played in years. it makes you feel good and makes you feel young. there is no better feeling than to feel alive.
when someone is down and out, there is a part of them that feels dead. they need to find something to make them feel alive again. being active and taking part in a sport is the best way to get that 'alive' feeling.
i tell people on this board that the best GAL activity is exercise or taking up a sport. sitting a bar and watching football games is fun but that's not going to make someone feel better. you end up drinking beer and eating unhealthy food. gaining weight and then feeling miserable about yourself.
when you exercise, you have energy and you develop muscle tone. you look great. you feel great. people notice and it just snowballs.
not only should we exercise more. help others. inspire others. teach someone something new. give back.
