“I love playing social sport and being part of a team. I always find when I’m playing sport with a group of friends, it doesn’t even feel like a workout. I also really enjoy going to the gym and going for walks and hikes with my husband. 
 
I always feel great after any workout, and it makes me feel happier and more energetic in day to day life.”
