You know I think Jean is right. I usually just take one activity and do it until I get bored with it. Then I just become lazy and spend weeks trying to find something else. I guess variation is the key. Me and my buddy gonna take some Tae kwon do classes anyways. But I will be looking for other activities too. This way it wont be boring and hopefully I will be able to play any sport.

Oh yeah, I bike quite a bit. In fact, I use my car only for work and when it is too cold.

Hello Eveyone,

I have been member of this board for a while but this is my first post. I do little bit of everything but I lose interest very easily. I am not over-weight but I do know that I am not physically fit.

Since gym bored me extremely, I quit gym and started looking at other form of exercises. I did rock climbing regularly for several months, it was exciting until I got semi good then it became just boring. Then i tried, swimming, running, working out with a video game, doing just push ups, using steppers while playing video games, and hiking. I got bored with all of these excersices.

I see a pattern here. All these excerices are solo or semi-solo activities and non-competitive. I really enjoy sports, I can play volleyball for hours but I cannot run for more than 30 minutes.

So I am thinking of picking up some sport for my new years resolution. My goal is to get regular cardiovascular exercise, at least one hour every week. I am reading about

various sports that are very cardio, like soccer, basketball, taek won do (and other martial arts), and tennis. Right now, I am leaning towards taek won do but its not really a team sport or competitive. However, it does seem like most active sport. Also since the instructor and other people will watching me, I will be motivated to finish the whole session.

So I was wondering if you have any suggetions or ideas. What do you think is the easiest sport to get started in? And which sport you think has most cardiovascular activity? Please let me know what you think.

Everyone have a great holidays!

Amer
