    Post-it Question given 9/26: How often did you get physical exercise? What sort of activities did you do? What were your feelings regarding physical activity. I got physical exercise regularly as an adolescent. I was involved in soccer and dance. I enjoyed both, but during adolescence, my parents put a bigger emphasis on soccer and put a lot of pressure on me to do well in it. This caused me to become "burnt out" and want to quit, but I did not.
