Used to be. Played football, soccer, baseball, and basketball. I just run nowadays, school eats up a lot of time.

Eh, sort of. I run sometimes and play hockey with friends just for fun, which is a good bit of exercise, but not really enough in my opinion.

I'm going through a non-athletic phase. These days I occasionally run, lift weights, cycle, but I walk pretty regularly with my pup...

Used to play baseball, but an injury to my shoulder blade keeps me from throwing regularly. I was told that I was really good, but I could only imagine being a bottom-rung Major League player at best.

Nowadays, my fiancee and I go to the gym five or six days each week. But no sports.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I am officially the whitest basketball player that has ever lived. There is nothing on this earth that I do worse than play basketball.

Also forgot to mention that, until work got too busy a few months ago, I semi-competed in racquetball.

I'm athletic, and starting to get back into shape. I played basketball up until my senior year when I was injured. Lost out on athletic scholarships. :(

I used to be 6'4" ~160 this time last year, and now I'm 195 lbs. I can dunk 10 ft again with ease. I should work on a few dunks and make a vid for ATOT :p

Cycle, used to Mountain bike.

Played a lot of Basketball when I was younger. Also did martial arts. Played soccer as a kid. Basically hanging out in highschool and college was based around sports of some type. Cheap and fun. Also played a lot of computer games at my friends house.

I'm an athletic supporter.

:Q

Seriously though, I am an avid weight lifter and do cardio 3-4 days a week.

I play no organized sports and have never much liked team sports, playing or watching. I do water ski, snow ski and mountain bike but not with any regularity.

Speaking of regularity, I have to be sure to get daily fiber for that... sucks getting older.

not too much anymore.

I used to be really into martial arts (tang soo do)... when I was a senior in high school, I was one test away from getting my midnight blue belt (third highest in terms of total progression, and the highest rank availible for non-instructors) when I had a huge blowout with my instructor over a tournament.

never really went back to it after that fight.
