Choosing a new sport
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 10:00 am
Just moved and this new city (used to study there) is a lot bigger, hence more options. I'd like to find something that will keep me motivated (something fun to do), keep me in good shape (call it mountain fit) and won't cost me too much. Running isn't an option since I want to spare my knees as much as possible.
At my previous place I was going to a fitness centre as it was the only thing available. This is however too costly and not really that much fun.
I've looked into the following activities and would like to hear your thoughts on them:
* Savate (I did this before when I was studying there and it was a lot of fun)
* Taekwondo - just looks like fun
* Rugby - looks like fun, but I'm a bit worried about getting hurt
* Rowing - there are a lot of canals near to where I live and it's a sport that will keep me fit for sure. But I'm not too sure if it's "fun" nor if it would keep my lower body fit.
* Suggestions?
