I've been getting lazy lately and I need to start getting some exercise. What's your favorite pick up game. I need some suggestions.
First off, you are not the only one. I'm getting sooo lazy. However, I use basketball to keep me in shape. I find playing with random folks more challenging because once you find out how serious they are, it motivates you to match their level of intensity. When you play with your friends, you really don't care to match their level of intensity
I agree with you its one of those games that anyone can play and laugh and have a good time. It reminds me of a neighborhood game that everyone can enjoy.
Beach volleyball. Incredible workout that is a lot of fun and the sand minimizes the impact and damage to your joints when you land, dive, fall, etc. Surfing is another great workout. You can be out for hours and still not want to go in.
Pick up soccer is so much fun and easy. All you need is your friends, some shoes or bags to make goals, and a ball. You can set it up in any area, play it with shoes or barefoot and you are constantly moving. It is an easy to sport to pick up if it isn't your thing, but no matter what you will be running. Great way to get active and have fun.
