Become an Athlete

It's never too late to take up, or go back to, a sport.

Today's L.A. Times has a story about four people who later in life went back to a sport they took part in during high school or college. 60-year-old Richard Dessert started wrestling again. His most prized possession? A badge with his name and the word "athlete" that he wore at the U.S. National Wrestling Championships last year, the Times says.

Taking up a sport is a great way to stay in shape over the long haul because competing gives you a goal.
