Looking for a new sport. Help?

[Pho3nix]

Hi guys,

Do a couple sports..Kendo, soccer and some running but need a sport that can help me tone up without going to the gym
It would also help if the sport would help increase my reflexes.

Suggestions?

Badminton is great for reflex as well as sprinting a lot. Will get you fit.

squash ....


and MMA

Cycling is good, dodging taxis or rampaging buck keeps your reflexes sharp.

Using a stationary exercise bike is often used for knee rehabilitation.

If you do road cycling there is also very little impact on your knees, less than walking i'm told.

Canoeing. Works wonders for your upper body and is relaxing.

How about archery? Its an amazing sport and can be very fun!!! If you go to a SABA event you might have to walk a lot but I dont think that would kill your knees

Enquired about this but didn't get very far as no one in JHB was able to give me any actual info on where to go, equipment etc. Got links?

Triathlon is an awesome sport.
Squash is also good but heavy on the joints.

I saw a field in the South. Near Meyerton on R59 I think.

Thought about Archery myself but with my coordination being more dodgy than my knees, I doubt I could walk away with my head held high

You dont have to do the whole hunting thing, but I found that 3D target shooting is extremely fun. this is what we normally shoot at http://www.african3d.co.za/
