Athleticism

I asked for some assistance in learning proper stretching and core exercises. The trainer (about 24) told me most of the kids she saw got little exercise, and too often needed some remedial practices.

She went on to say that I'd obviously had a more athletic childhood.

I don't know if that's just flattery, or if she was serious.

Anybody who knew me as a youngster knows I was far far more likely to be closeted with a book than running anywhere. Perhaps afternoon wandering in a tropical jungle counts double as exercise? You sweat enough...

Anyhow, if she was serious, the kids she sees must really be in bad shape. I see plenty in visibly bad condition, but also plenty who seem just fine... Perhaps I don't see the troglodytes tampletadytes? (tablet dwellers)
