My earliest exercise-related memories involve competitive sports and high-intensity activities that required me to push my body to the max—to run its fastest, defend against opponents, even to sacrifice itself for the win. Unsurprisingly, I sustained many injuries and underwent multiple knee surgeries during my years of competitive play.
