I used to play volleyball and was in Martial Arts for a few years, but not any more.
I want to get into shape and take up some sort of kick boxing or self defense class again, but for now, it'll just have to be the gym :tongue:
I'm not really athletic, but I'm active. Nothing worse than a sedentary lifestyle.
oh yeah, I need to answer my own questions for the thread ...to share
I am a pretty good tennis player I usually play singles and doubles, although I prefer singles because I like to control my games Playing doubles is good for teamwork; it requires you to communicate well with your partner.
Besides tennis, I am also good at badminton and pingpong. I can swim and dive.
I used to play golf alot with a friend and also my husband. Though my clubs are gathering cobwebs in the garage at the moment. I hope to play again some time, but I don't like to play golf alone.
I used to run alot, and completed a half marathon last year but this year I have started to lose my love for it. So recently I started going to Zumba classes, but with my new job I will be restricted so I might get back to running. I once tried playing in a social team of touch rugby years ago and that was fun until people got too serious about it which spoiled it for me.
Does my obsession with speeding around on a jetski count as a sport?
I'm not the most coordinated person but I like to be outside in the fresh air. Also I am motivated by my desire to stay slim and also my desire to interact and have quality time with those I care about.
You can ride a horse? That is amazing! I have always wanted to learn how, but I have not had a chance yet.
What game do you like on the wii? I tried tennis the other day. It was fun It was my first time playing on the wii My nephew talked me into giving it a try LOL
I don't want to consider myself athletic, perhaps by contrast I am, but I think exercise is a natural part of life, if anything we should be asking who doesn't exercise?
I grew up playing soccer and tennis. Then I devoted 8 years to skateboarding which wore out my knees. Ever since I've been doing a lot of biking and I go to the gym.
I don't know. I lose my mind when I don't get enough exercise. Perhaps that's why people seem insane at times, a lack of exercise... I know it gets to me :frustrating:
I'm not a fantastic golfer guys, but I enjoy getting out on a beautiful looking course and company while I play. I started as a result of my husband talking me into it initially and found it to be fun. I am very rusty now though as it has been about 2-3 years since I last played. I recommend it though.
I work out about 5 days a week. I run 2 miles most days... 4 miles on days that I don't do muscle work. I also run a 7 minute mile. Personal best is down in the 6:40 range. I can bench press more than my body weight.
I've always loved martial arts, fencing, and weapons sparring, and have engaged in all of these for most of my life. I've won more than a few sparring tournaments.
I also like solo sports (if you can call them sports) like frisbee golf, billiards, darts, archery, target shooting, etc. I can shoot about a 1 inch grouping at 100 yards with the right rifle, and a smiley face into a human sized target with a standard handgun. I'm an exceedingly good shot. I can also shoot about a 3 inch grouping at 30 yards with a recurve bow, but I've only been to the archery range a few times. So far, I really like archery.
I've never really been into team sports though. I played them here and there when my buddies wanted me to, but that was my only reason for interest. Played hockey, baseball, and soccer in school.
I like Running, Pro Wrestling, Amateur Roman-Greco wrestling, Basketball, Baseball, Bowling and Water-skiing. However, my water-skiing days likely ended this past July with a bad knee injury. I love team sports most.
