"There Is a young point of view that one may gain by Joining up with the kids," says Brechka. You don't have to match home runs with the wiz of the team to reap benefits from baseball, he says. Whether you strike out or only make first base, the swing of a ball bat and the exhilara- tion that comes from being out of doors will relax tense nerves and give you emotional release. Rope skipping may be too strenuous for an adult. But you can Join in the fun by twirlinR one end of s long rope for young- er Jumpers to leap. If you've roller skated in your youth, or ridden a bicycle, the ability to balance yourself again on wheels, will give a feeling of triumph.
