What kind of sports do you practise? For how long? How many times per week?

Just curious how many people are actually physically active, besides being a couch potato and surfing on AD :wave:

Plus I'm bored and the forum seems to be dead. Are people on vacation in the US or what???? :shrug:

Most of my sports consists of walking, weight training, and the like. Not much practice time required. I like table tennis, but have nobody to play. Never was a practice person anyway.

just few years ago when I was in college - I used to play roller hockey few times a week. Now i'm a coach potato because nobody around here plays it and it's too cold. I found brooklyn group from meetup.com that they do play a game on weekend so I'm up for it! :mad2:

I'm a mix of both. I try to go to gym couple times a week and just waiting for weather to get warm so I can do stuff. :cool2:

I love it and I'm good... nobody wants to play with me 'cause I'm always winning... (it's true!) :giggle: I play tennis with the boys during summer ;)

I for myself have been an artistic gymnast ever since the age of 4 years. I went all the way through till the age of 22. Then I stopped...

In between I also joined athletic team where I performed in high jump, javelot and 100m.

In school we played volley and basketball. I joined the ice-hockey team for one year while in Canada. That was awesome! :wave: While in school in Australia I played badminton A LOT!!!!!

So, you could say I'm a sports person... except for extreme sports!!!! don't like those :cool2:

badminton = it's bad-ASS! :mad2:
v-ball = love it to death :mad2:
ice hockey = played it during my senior high school :mad2:
100m = i suck at it but my coach said "so... you gonna give up?" and of course.. my answer was :mad2:

extreme sports = it's my mojo now :mad2:
 
Badminton is fun (just like racket ball) if you know how to play... I'm good at it ;)
Volleyball's ok for me... I don't LOVE it but I also don't hate it!
Ice-hockey was fun for me because my coordination was so bad... but I still enjoyed being on the ice EVERY single time... No matter how much fun the other girls were making of me :(
 
Darts is only the sports that I play competitively. I will take part in Ontario Deaf Sports Association (ODSA) Darts Tournament on April 17-18, 2009.

Floor hockey, curling, slopitch, fastpitch, basketball, beach volleyball and ice skating are sports that I do for fun although I do not do them often.

I need to restart my weight and cardio training soon although I have my program set up and ready.
 
I forget to add that I do ping pong and flag football, too for fun only.

duh..... they're just very jealous that hockey players are hitting on you :cool2:
 
Training for a sprint triathlon in August, so I'm starting to swim once or twice a week for an hour. Running 2-3 times a week. Gym 1-2 times a week. Also trying to play tennis with a friend at least once a week, even though I suck at it. Planning on buying a bike soon (doing spinning for now at the gym). Might take up rollerblading again now it's warmer. I used to do a LOT of racquetball and ultimate frisbee in college but no one to play with now. :( If someone invites me to play a sport, chances are that I'll join, no matter what the sport is.

I seriously doubt so, since I was more busy falling onto my ass than actually playing hockey :giggle: besides I tried to avoid any sort of male being within a ten feet radius :roll:

I probably will fail this one. I do a lot of sports but that doesn't mean I have great endurance. I'm more of a power person than a stamina person. This triathlon is a BABY one: 3 mile run, 6 mile bike, 400m swim. What about the one you tried?

Honestly I'm not sure I remember well... 7.5km running, 12 km biking and 1km swimming... :dizzy:

ETA: I swear I don't remember if this is correct... all I know is that it was loooong ;)

I play everything but football and baseball are my most favorite sports of all time.
 
Grew up hardcore athlete...especially with fast-pitching softball and competive swimming. I got a college softball scholarship as a pitcher in the early 90s.

I would jump at any chance to play any sports as a child was able to pick up the skills quickly.

Now, because of my age, time, and money, I am limited to running, weightlifting, kickboxing, and dancing.

I wish I can play on a softball team this summer but I am afraid that my feet problems will return so I think I am done with softball. :(
 
I'm running 15-20 miles, biking about 100 miles a week and swim practice 3 times a week. Currently training for a triathlon in April, May and July. I love gymnastics, ultimate frisbee, soccer and biking.
