Well, when it comes to my go-to physical activity, the first thing that comes to my mind is playing badminton. It has become an indispensable part of my life, my routine. The journey began a year ago. Since then, I was under a lot of intense academic pressure, and I felt mentally and physically drained. When coming back home, I would just lie on the bed, glued to the TV screen, and I felt like I was really a person who was leading a sedentary lifestyle. I thought, oh, it's bad, it's not okay. I have to challenge myself. So, I invited my classmate to play a badminton match. At first, it was really a game changer in my life. Playing badminton helped me clear my mind, blow off some steam, and let me forget any academic pressure. I love playing badminton instead of other forms of exercise like running because running I think is quite solitary, and the movements are repetitive, which can be quite boring. While badminton requires teamwork and thinking, so I really love it. The physical activity that I really love is playing badminton. I can't imagine my life without it.
