Team Sports

If working out is hard for you to get around to, then maybe you should expand your options. To some people, working out in the gym seems monotonous and painfully exhausting. This does not mean that there are no other choices. A great solution to this problem is to get a group together and do some sort of team sport. This is a very fun way to stay in shape and once you are done you feel as if you had a great workout without the extreme exhaustion of gym workouts. There are several options to choose from including football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball, etc. These games are all competitive sports that will give you a good workout. It is also a great social experience.
Some students believe that after high school sports, there is not a lot of opportunity to play sports, but this is not true. If you are not going to participate in sports at the collegiate level, then there are still chances for to get involved. Intramurals are a great way to stay active in team sports and get involved on your college campus. The time commitment is obviously less than a normal college sport, but it still gives the feeling of teamwork. Usually intramural sports are played 2-3 times a week with a end-of-season tournament at the end. Staying active through intramurals is not only good for your body, but it is also an extracurricular activity that allows you to stay social and meet people with your same common interests.
More opportunities are available in your city. Here, in Louisville, there are various leagues you could get involved with. Here are a few that offer a wide range of competition from competitive

You could also just get a game together with a group of friends this always turns out to be a good time and usually you end up with a good workout. The pictures shown are from a indoor soccer game. It was tiring, but so much fun. A great place to go to play outdoors is the Waterfront.
