Yes, I would consider competitive walking a sport because it involves physical effort, skill, rules, and competition. It also requires discipline and training, just like other sports, showing that both mental and physical aspects play key roles in performance.

As a recreation therapist, my job will already involve physical and social activities, so I'll stay active at work. However, I'll still make time for my own recreation-like gym workouts or weekend sports-to recharge and maintain my personal well-being.

With a full-time career, my physical activity will need more planning and balance. I'll likely focus on efficient workouts like early morning gym sessions or short runs after work. Weekend recreation-like hiking or swimming-will help me stay active, relaxed, and socially connected.
