Which sports do you practice as an adult?

Oh those sound cool.

I just exist in an eternal timeless void while the world moves around me. I haven't played any sports since middle school because after some point if it isnt part of your culture seems no one wants to play anything or has the space to do so. I have a past injured back and leg so im not sure how much i can do.

Closest I can think of is jogging but hardly a sport and that was years ago now I was doing it regularly since I dont really have anywhere to go.

I white water rafted once and it was during a time it was more intense than it should be so i was doing more advanced than a beginner would normally do. Kinda fun but also not too much my thing. You basically are using your arm muscles really uneven when paddling so it gets tiring and you keep your feet hooked in to not fall out which can kinda cramp your leg a bit.

If I was able to go do things more I don't know. If the streets werent so bad for cyclists id do that. Why cant the US be like the Netherlands or Finland ugh. Also I'd give bouldering a go maybe. Ive debated if I wanted to get into any martial arts, not sure if any have right style for me and i wouldnt know how likely id even get to use it since im a non violent person and pretty isolated id only want it purely to defend someone else but i have no one in my life i care for anymore so what's the point. Dancing is cool but not sure if I could memorize stuff and actually look good, it just seems difficult. I always thought parkour and free running was cool but i dont seems i could never be THAT fit and agile plus i dont live in any area that makes sense. I dont know, it just is hard to feel motivated to do anything when you're alone with no one to even so much as talk about something with.

Basketball and soccer..
I'm really good at shooting and defending in basketball so I'm a 3&d guy..
In soccer I play as a striker.. But basketball is something you can play on own as well...
I jog at least 5km every day..I also go to the gym..
I'll get some Maintenance work done on my mountain bike and start cycling soon..
Mid life crisis? Yes you're right, it's like that for me too..

The tennis, golf and cricket clubs and equipments are very expensive specially when you're just trying to play as a hobby..

So I stick to basketball, even a Madao like me can play basketball, uncle Drew (kyrie Irving) taught me that..

Right now I am not touching sports tho next year/in few months I shall begin again, here's the sports in which I've engaged myself through whole life from few trainings up to years of training:

Aikido, Karate, Taekwondo, Sport Shooting [Watch out for that as it is the reason I've got scoliosis], Fencing, Baseball, Windsurfing, Buhurt, Hema, Gym, Calisthenics [homemade only beginner exercises]

I unironically love playing dodgeball. It makes me feel younger and nothing work better for me to let off steam than throwing stuff at people.

I practice volleyball and muscle building although I'm not a pro in either. I used to practice Hockey too.

Cycling is only cool when its done by god tier Finnish posters, otherwise it should get fully replaced by public transport (publictransportmaxxing)

Have you heard of freestyle calisthenics? I think it's really cool and I can't imagine anything more stimulating than going wee woo wee woo on a bar.

You have a cool selection of sports. I like when ppl are active :DDD
I used to compete in weightlifting but it never really went anywhere so now as I kind of just do a whole bunch of stuff, mainly weighted calisthenics. I will start boxing this month and I also used to do a lot of bouldering which I am coming back to.

I started bodybuilding a while ago.

@Commit_Crime I am luck everything is really close :)
And i do plan to go to the gym, but I'm trying to build the mindset that I can go alone and no one will care if I’m using the equipment wrong.

None, but did try BJJ but couldn't afford to stay there as it was pricey for a membership.

@Yuno It’s a shame BJJ didn’t work out due to the cost. Have you ever considered any other activities or gyms with more affordable options?

@JaniSIr Give me tips on how to use the equipment correctly. I stress over making a mess of myself at the gym.

@-YUMMY-

Yep! I have considered doing other things like kickboxing or so. I think we have some gyms that are cheap to sign up for monthly or pay per class.

@Yuno Muay Thai could be good for you too. Usually, you pay for the uniform at the beginning and then a monthly fee.

BJJ blue belt and was looking to start muay thai classes so I could take part in the amateur MMA circuit for my region but the post-covid transition for my only local gym was brutal. Many people simply never came back so they packed the gym up and moved to a big city. Pretty depressing honestly. Lost touch with a bunch of people.

The friends I played badminton with generally lost interest just because we'd be doing it so long.

I don't have a sport that I play now, I just go hiking occasionally when I feel up to it. I would like to do BJJ again but the nearest gym is way too far away.

Do you compete in BJJ @-YUMMY-

I do 20 push-ups twice a day (and only because of my back problem).

Other than that I'm completely uninterested in any Sports, and do not recommend any (I prefer to stay very slim and dislike buffed up humans).

I unironically love playing dodgeball. It makes me feel younger and nothing work better for me to let off steam than throwing stuff at people.

Rock climbing and mountain biking I suppose, but it's not competitive.

Table tennis, parkour and basketball free-throws if that counts from the time I was still a teen to my early 20s. A bit later, basic dancing, but only like once a week for a few months. Outside of that, I haven't really been exercising physically at all in like over a decade, unless you count stuff like going stairs up and down multiple times every day, stretching, buying crates of drinks every 1-2 weeks and other miscellaneous tasks from time to time that require using physical strength as physical activity. Oh but I still do some swimming like a few times a year when it's hot, but the past two summers were rather cold here compared to over 5 years ago

@-YUMMY- Definitely work hard towards gaining your blue, you'll at least have the fundamentals down by then. After that, immediately sign up for a competition. Get support/advice from your gym on which to enter and prepare for. It'll be a humbling experience but confidence building too, and it's a real eye-opener as to where you need to improve to keep progressing. It's also pretty fun, especially if you have lots from your gym entering so you travel together to compete.

How long have you been training? Do you have any favoured submissions yet?



@Noboru Are you in a table tennis club?
