My dad is an enthusiastic runner who (great) influenced me when I was young. So I was very sporty before the age of 14. However, when my family moved, my new school didn't pay much attention sports and had no afterschool activities like football or running. Over the next few years, I (stop) exercising apart from during Physical Education lessons at school. I looked (health); however, I was not.
One day, I was late for a bus, tried to run after it and in under a minute was out of breath! This made me realize how unfit I was. (help) myself get in shape again, I made a (decide) that I would take up a kind of sport.
A friend of mine suggested a swimming pool she goes to a few times a week. Now, I'm a swimming lover! I find swimming in the pool very (relax). I swim for hour three times a week. I hope that I will soon start to feel the benefits of regular exercise, and will become (fit) than before.
