Hey , if I could still get my FAT butt into a swing I would be right there on the playground with ya! I used to LOVE swinging on the swings AND doing tricks on them...I was a bit of a daredevil but not too dangerous I also used to love rollerskating and doing tricks on rollerskates such as "shoot the duck," but I bet you are too yound to know what that is..... someday I should go and get a pair of rollerblades because I think I would LOVE them!

LOL I slid down the pole and climbed on the monkey bars and went down the slide and swung on the swing. Can somebody tell me how I count that in my daily exercise log???? For some reason, "playing on the swing" is not listed ANYWHERE as an exercise so one can figure calories burned. <G> Let me tell you, though, swinging really uses the whole body, arms, legs, core and all. I KNEW I was onto something with this playing outside idea.

Jen,

What stops you from getting the rollerblades

now? I’ve seen women in all sizes, ages and fitness levels wear them. A

lot of the ladies around here use them for exercise (and some of them need more

exercise than just blading). When I was a pre-teen (before I could drive) we

used to go to the rink to skate and have a good time. I was terrible at skating

but tending to pick up more boys then my more proficient friends lol. I guess

men (even when they are boys) can’t resist a girl in distress. As

teenagers the area the rink was in turned into a bad neighborhood so we couldn’t

go. But I’ve been ice skating as an adult and that was fun (and yes I

still fell down a LOT and yes still picked up more men that way lol) I haven’t

tried rollerblades yet because I’m too old to fall down a lot and get

picked up by attractive men (I’m sure they’d laugh and pass me by).

But if it was something I was good at and enjoyed I would go for it. My

kids all have blades so maybe they will teach me lol
