Sports like swimming!

[Justei]

Hello, i need help finding a new sport/activity.

I have been swimming for 7 years and im kinda tired of it so i stopped doing it, and i need a new activity to do, i was goin to start with kickboxing but i don't know if i will like it, + i like to do stuff like swimming, where you pretty much go all in, for a long period of time (like the trainings i had, for 1-2h where we would swim all in) and then afterwards pretty much fall asleep cus ur so tired.

I also need this to be a challenging task, it has to be hard, or otherwise it won't be that fun, and it has to be something you can start with when you are 16, and never done it before, and has to keep me in shape + work a bit as a workout (building muscles).

I found most of this in swimming, but im so sick of doing it at the moment so.

Please give me some advice on activities you have experience with, (oh yea, no tennis or football or sumtin like that, no crackin balls involved!)

Thanks, Kristoffer

Okay, there is just a couple of problems (might not be that even).

I am not rly heavy xD... i weight 60kg, wich is not much xD, alltho im on a died going up like hell (eat everything i see)

And, there are not many american football teams or clubs in sweden :P we only do that sometimes in the snow xD or when there is mud, thats hella fun, but still... Would tho if i lived in the US i would totally play, fuck seems SO funny...

If you're just doing it to get fit & build muscle then just use your local gym and then work on your cardiovascular system in a sport like running, even just running around your local oval if you have one would be good, and you could mix it up with some actual sports eg tennis, basketball etc

[exclamatio]

martial arts is the ultimate sport, give it a try mate

Not only to get fit, i want to get out, not only sit inside :P i liked swimming alot, but u know, if you do it for 7 years, it kinda gets boring...

What would you recommend for a total beginner? I tried kickboxin out, i liked it. But i don't know if its a good beginners sport.

Skipping rope heh, it's a fun side activity to do on an evening for like 30mins. Really good workout, will prob take you a while to master it!

Play some rugby, not american football, much harder imo.

[LordDemonMan]

Tired of water sports, hmm?

Most probably got strong legs. Take up taekwondo. Or just go jogging, meh.

[kuribohgx]

I play Baseball on the schools team and play Football in the park with my dad/friends.

Yea i tried kickboxin out and i think i got pretty strong legs, but my arms are not that strong.

And not all water sports, i still dive and i would like to take up surfing, but that doesn't give u the same ammount of exercise and also u can't do it in sweden (surfing atleast)

[Laz-low]

Go play Rugby, a proper lad's sport with no padding (who needs it?). Good fun too.

[Initiate]

wow football is just as bad if not worse then rugby, so stop putting it down.

[Suicide]

woud parkour be a sport?

though its dangerous and practically not safe at all unless you know what your doing.

[I Rule MU]

Tbh go for soccer or lacrosse. Both are awsome.

That's what I was going to tell him =).

Your strong legs will make you either a nice midfield or defense, slam the ball across the field, or you could be a penalty shot kind of dude, or just try forward.

If you still want to do water sports, try water polo =o

[xblackcat]

Ice hockey or lacrosse

I just have like no ballcontroll at all :/ only tennis (used to do that for 4 years) but like, i don't know how to dribble and shit :/




Lacrosse = fun as HELL, but few teams around here :/
Ice Hockey = used to do it, might actually consider it since its winter now in sweden = snow + ice
Soccer = like i said above

At the moment im considering:
Martial arts (taekwondo n shit)
Skipping (? xD hah)
Ice Hockey

Not water polo really yet because they look so gay in their tiny string water suits...


Edit: also want to thank everyone that replied! :) and also so nice posts without any spam or nonsense :P thank you for that ^^ and also not seen any fighting, and ppl tend to do that in some sections of this forum xD so yea, definetly a + to everyone on that 1, would rep everyone if i could do that on rage xD

I agree on this guide, It really well improve everything on your body and especially if you want to improve your strength and speed.
