My dojo does. They also clean the mat all the damn time, and the owner gives out a newspaper piece on MRSA to everyone who joins.

Rollerskating. I am seriously considering Roller Derby, WFTDA style.

Ooo.. Rollerskating is fun in a rink, I think. I don't like outdoors rollerskating though because it hurts the hell out of my feet... All the bumps and shit. >_<

I like going through trails on a bike. I actually really, really like it.

I like biking with a buddy, and also kayaking. Having someone to workout with always makes it 100x better. When I bike by myself, most days it's just "work" and I turn my brain off and pedal, but if I'm out and about with a friend, it's a lot more fun. Personally I don't like team sports at all. I also don't mind using cardio machines while reading a book, listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks, or watching TV. Usually on my old stationary bike.

+2 for Kayaking. After loosing all the weight and being able to fit into a kayak for the really first time, man I love that sport

Tennis and basketball. Oddly enough growing up I was short and weak and could barely throw the ball to the hoop from the free throw line but since high school I have gotten much better. Road biking, swimming ultimate frisbee, disc golf are great fun as well, but not quite in the same class. Backpacking, canoeing, kayaking are also great fun but my kids aren't old enough to be left alone or come along yet.

Rugby is fucking awesome. It's like a real life fight club. Never underestimate the therapeutic benefits of getting beat up once a week. By the end of a season I'll be carved out of fucking granite.

Long training runs on Saturday mornings. Early as fvck, but it's therapeutic and nice to run around the lake with just my iPod and my own thoughts. Helps clear my mind and start off the weekend right.

@ BJJ people - What are GI's?

 

[GenHoth]

The uniforms you wear

Football and soccer for me. Any team sport really

I used to go on midnight or 1 o'clock runs, way back in the day. I'd run the stairs of the 9-story parking deck at school. I'd love to do that again but no real good set of stairs anywhere nearby.

Use google. They're the outfits you grapple in.

Kettlebells. I can do any exercise (except pullups) with them. Strength, multi-muscle and cardio workout. Sweating way before people who do their exercises do (I don't even need to do anything like curls anymore) and I never have to worry about someone just taking up space at a bench or whatever doing practically nothing. Plus just throwing and catching it is fun.

Road biking definately. Nothing beats a straight stretch of road, tucking in and trying to break your spedometer's record.

Walking is kinda fun. I just came back from a 15 km walk no rest. Took almost 4 hours, and I'm dead tired right now. New record. My last one was 9.5 km.

I can't believe I forgot about kettlebells. I had to leave mine 400 miles away because I couldn't take it on the plane with me so I put it out of my mind. I freaking love KB workouts.

I love doing any oly lifts.. I think they're fun. Also really enjoy a good team sport when I can get the people together (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, whatever).
