Do you play any organized sports? Do you prefer to workout solo? The New York Times has just published the findings of a study that link girls' participation in high school sports with tangible benefits for their success, as well as increased prospects for educational and professional success. They speculate that organized sports has a similar effect on boys, but it's just that boys weren't in the group that was studied.

As Girls Become Women, Sports Pay Dividends

I, for one, have always been one for solo runs and workouts, but I did participate in marching band in high school and college, which is more athletic than many people realize. Additionally, it has a highly organized structure and set of rules, much like more traditionally recognized organized sports.

I am thinking about getting into local athletic opportunities a little bit more, such as the Outdoor Adventure Social Club. The activities, like hikes and rock-climbing, don't necessarily have the same rules as organized sports, but it's an opportunity to get a move on and to starting meeting people.
