Biography Blog

There are many topics for people to blog about. Blogging about a topic is interesting because anyone in the world can pick a topic that they are interested in and blog about it. The topic that is going to be discussed in this blog is sports and physical activities. All around the world, many people are involved with sports, fitness clubs, or participate in physical activities on their own. For many people, playing sports and physical activities are a huge part of their lives. They stay active because they enjoy it, and they like that it keeps them in shape.
            Throughout my life, sports and just being active have been a gigantic part of my life. Even when I was not participating in any physical activity, sports would have been on TV, played on a video game, or been discussed among family members. The constant exposer to sports and physical activities through participating in them, the media, physical education classes, and health classes have given me a lot of experience and a good amount of knowledge on the subject.
During my childhood, I spent a lot of time doing physical activities outside. Some examples of those activities are tag, kickball, wiffleball, sledding, and snowboarding.  Throughout my years in grade school, I was able to play basketball, volleyball, and softball competitively. My knowledge of sports and physical activities grew even more throughout high school. During my four years of high school, I was able to take various physical education classes such as a regular PE class where the students would play a variety of different sports, a martial arts class, and a strength and conditioning class.  In high school, I had the opportunity to play on the softball team and be a member of the marching band for 4 years. The health class that all the students took taught about the importance of leading a healthy life style and being active.
There are a couple of reasons as to why I chose to blog about the topic of sports and physical activities. The first reason I chose this topic was because I have a passion for playing sports and I love to be an active person. The second reason I am blogging about this topic is to get people interested in getting involved with sports and physical activities, and to help promote living a healthier life style. Being active is extremely important for living a healthy life style. Sports and physical activities are a lot of fun to participate in, and they will also help you to stay in great shape.
Over the next few months, I will be blogging about various sports and physical activities. Some of the sports I will blog about include basketball, volleyball, softball, wiffleball, ultimate Frisbee, and flag football. For the physical activities, I will be blogging about some strength and conditioning aspects such as weight lifting, running, and marching band. In my blog posts, I will talk about these sports and physical activities in general, give a little history on the sport or activity, and promote them.
