Sports Buff than A Gym Rat

You can still get the benefits of a gym workout by picking your own sport, provided that you do it consistently too.

Factors To Consider When Choosing A Sport:

1. Is that particular sport appropriate for your physical condition?

2. Can you sustain the activity through its fun factor, level of challenge, and accessibility?

Sports that will give you a balanced and all-around workout are swimming, cycling, running and even rock or wall climbing. Swimming can improve your overall endurance. Wall or rock climbing can really cahllenge your "pull muscles" which are the back, shoulders and biceps and of course, your core and lower body. Running can really work your lower body muscles especially your hamstrings(back thighs), buttocks and calves. Outdoor cysling also does the same but focuses more on your quadriceps muscles (front thighs) plus the use of your upper body muscles to stabilize yourself on the bike. You can also combine different sports in your weekly routine like following a basic or mini-triathlon (swim, bike,and run) program.
