What sport do you play?
Mostly just looking to pick up a new sport to have fun and get some exercise. I've been doing a bit of boxing and swimming for a while but I'm getting bored of them. So what do you guys play?

Don't clown on his masturbation. It's sex with someone he loves.
"Casual sex implies the existence of ranked competitive sex"
I use to play basketball , and I could dunk. But then playing I dunked on this guy came down landed on him and hurt my knee because his body got in the way of my landing.
So now I have almost recovered but little afraid to play again as too much risk of injury.
Reminds me of this joke my dad would always say. "Yeah I used to play basketball, but can't anymore because of my shins."
"What's wrong with your shins?"
"Well whenever I would go up for a dunk, I'd jump too high and my shins would nail the rim. They're permanently bruised."
he's 5'9" 180

Uncle Rico: How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.
I played baseball in college. I just picked up a newer more novelty sport called Spikeball which is pretty fun. Great competition and you can basically play anywhere as long as you have the net and a spikeball. highly recommend. super fun!
In highschool I played baseball and football but you can't really play football as an adult (flag sucks) and adult league baseball is mostly a bunch of washed up DII tools who take it too seriously.
So, I golf and play rec league soccer. Both are a blast and allow me to compete, which is the most fun thing. Got my bench back up above 300 too recently, which I'm proud of.
Weightlifting. It's the perfect hobby if your schedule is unpredictable. Doesn't require anyone else, you can do it whenever, etc...
Squash and lacrosse. Lax requires a few people but is still a blast.
I thought that was a thing from archer
Hit up the local RFC
squash
Love it, but damn it's hard on your knees...
Cycling is great for the exercise and convenience. Just hop on and go. I love golf and skiing but can be tough to find the time.
LoL, I´ll rek anyone w/ Darius top lane, 1v1 me kiddo, gg ez
dota > lol
But LoL is a whole lot more fun. Why do you hate fun @invoker-" ?
Top laner here too. LoL is my guilty pleasure. Played a ton in college but quit because I was spending too much time on it. Picked it up again in the last few months, play a few matches a week.
Totally crushed a darius last night as jax, btw.
My sport is making money
a stripper told me that last weekend
OK Intern
Tennis is fun after getting to a certain level (can hit 10+ steady ground strokes) Also, it's a good sport for making new friends
Swimming is a low prestige sport. Take that from someone who's currently swimming in college. Take up a sport like tennis, soccer, or lacrosse, all of which put you in the highest tier.
since when is soccer a high prestige sport? Sure, the pros in europe get paid a ton but that's no different than basketball or baseball in the US. I'd think squash, tennis, lacrosse, and polo would be "prestigious" sports if that's what you care about.
Cringe af. If you're joking its even more cringey
Tennis, Squash, Badminton, Table Tennis, Soccer, Swimming & Hockey.
Last week I ran 46.8mi at 6:20 pace. 20% of that is 800s. Monday - cycled 62mi. Started tapering Tuesday for a Sunday 26.2. Just did jump rope + core mainly yesterday and will probably continue this through the week.
Next week, I'm going to try to jump back into Muay Thai while I train for my 'A' race of the year, Augusta Half Iron 70.3 in Sept 2020. I'm trying to get a slot to Utah 2021 70.3 WC. My PR is 4:48 in Augusta with the goal this year of 4:25. Hopefully that will be fast enough to earn a slot!
My 26.2 was just cancelled for this weekend - because of the Coronavirus.
I tapered for 2 days and watch said ‘peaking’ and was feeling good and injury free - damn. It would have been a good 26.2.
Well, at least I’m a bit faster now than when I started.
Soccer, weights, skiing/golf (currently both but depends on season). Throw in a martial arts class every weekend or two. Swim outdoors in summer
Look at jiu jitsu. could be a compliment to your boxing background. great workout and opportunities to compete if you're interested in it
yeah ive thought about BJJ before but I really hate grappling hahaha
what do you hate about it
Yes sir. Good workout, it's cerebral - like a game of chess, and actually useful.
im a giant fucking hockey bro year round, with a little bit of soccer pussy mixed in during the summer
fuck yeah, you in New York? Need to find some other puck fans - I'm from the great state of hockey
sorry man im from Toronto. Luckily we have a ton of men's leagues here, but if I ever get to NY I'll pm you lol
Wheel, snipe, celly boys . . . dirty fuckin dangles boys! DIRTY FUCKIN DANGLES!!!
haha I see someone has been loving tik tok
Beer league hockey is your answer. Fun to play, great camaraderie, and lots of league options depending on skill level.
Gotta second this. Lot of finance guys in the Chelsea Piers leagues.
This looks like a lot of fun. I picked football over hockey in high school (my high school was good at football but nationally ranked for hockey, kids from my class made the NHL) for my contact sport but I always wish i knew how to skate well enough to play in a semi competitive league.
I’m playing beer league 1-2 times a week in NJ. lots of men’s leagues around with varying skill levels. love it since it keeps me moving (plus I’m a goalie so I’m a need on lots of teams)
The beauty of it is the combination of 1) exercise, 2) drinking, 3) networking. Depending on how many hours you work a week its nice to be able to combine it all into one 90 minute weekly commitment.
My team probably has a 40 yr age range from former college players to 60 year olds running their own company.
Rowing in prep school. Boxing in uni. Now doing BJJ and loving it so far.
boxing in college is where its at.
Soccer, basketball, used to play football. Have tried to get into golf but both time and patience are a constraint.
Chasing deadlines.
Rugby
Saturday's a rugby day!
I like to attend Cubs games
Mario Kart
Wii anyone?
Oh yea also beer die
Golf, squash, tennis, and drinking
Used to play football.
Woulda probly gone pro if coach gave me the ball.
I'm kidding. I was a lineman.
If you like swimming try water polo! It is really cool and funny and helps to lose anger!!!! =)))
Fencing, and it's done more for my career than the economics degree
Squash and Tennis
Powerlifting, even though it isn't safe to constantly be pushing absolute 1rm there are a lot of other ways you can constantly track progress. Strength at various body weights, rep maxes, lift variations (high bar squat, font squat, DL grip variations, bench width variations), and tracking your accessory lifts as well. Also you can easily compare yourself against people all over the world.
but are you lean bro? definition is where it’s at
Yes I am in shape. That shape is round.
In all seriousness, I'm currently cutting. Since mid Feb down about 15 pounds, 15 more to go. Should be around 12% body fat at that point.
I'm in a basketball rec league to get real competitive and a softball league to drink to beer with friends
Check out this:
Ski diving.
It's a real sport and according to my Polish buddy, it's their national sport.
Talk about crazy people...
Boxing...but you don't play boxing.
Yeah it’s mostly play to me. I don’t heavy spar much anymore and I only really fear two things: - getting my filling on my front tooth knocked off because my dentist will be pissed and it’s $400 - unexpected hooks: I only had one real bad unexpected hook from a newbie but he caught me good when we were light sparring and that shit really hurt that night, I couldn’t chew, my ears hurt like hell and I was restricted to smoothies and oatmeal for a week or more. I can’t imagine what a broken jaw feels like fuck - experiences like these greatly improve my blocking skills though, no doubt. The brain will not tolerate that shit again and you just develop super good defense. I also fear the rhinoplasty, but getting a hard face smash doesn’t happen to me that often. If they get a hit, it’s like 20% impact because I basically got away.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Some of my gym friends and I do technical sparring some nights at Gleason's depending on everyone's schedule. We focus more on technique - hence if we are able to get it going again after this crisis, please feel free to join us.
Also, belated Happy Easter!
Bowflex
Badminton - played it for 10+years but since starting uni, I shifted to power lifting.
Basketball and Tennis
Injuries I had when I actually played sports no longer allow me to play any sports or workout. If I could, I'd box. Aside from the fact that I did it competitively for a long time, it's physically & cerebrally challenging, keeps you in great shape, and allows you to punch people. Not sure what more you could want.
Volleyball and Swimming!
sooooo ... waterpolo?
Hahaha I played waterpolo for 2 years than my coach developed cancer which forced the club to scrap the team unfortunately ... It's a great all-around sport, if you've never tried, I highly recommend it!
Golf and I race 420s
Rugby and SCCA Autocross
fútbol
Rugby, squash, and softball
Used to play ice hockey, volleyball, and snowboarded but then had some major medical events so my neurosurgeons and neurologists said no more contact sports. Staying healthy/strong via swimming, running, weights, stationary bike, and thinking about ordering a Fight Camp set. Probably a Peloton too. Considering coaching little league hockey because I miss the sport.
Squash gang
I row (2x a week) and box (2x) a week. Love it
Tennis but only because that's what I played through college. News flash, it sucks and your kids should never play it seriously.
