Hola! I just started open gym for basketball today, and before High School, I played for 4 years, and I was the best on the team (which obviously means my team sucked ) and now, after 1 year of not playing and practicing, I suck! Although I'm going to start conditioning with them, but I'm not good at long period of exercise. I was wondering if anybody else plays a sport, and what they have to do to get in shape and practice?

Basketball and swimming. Taking up badminton though since darting through the air like a ninja is just teh awesome.

I swim and run distance. Really the only thing to do for those particular sports is laps.

i play soccer and i was in a marathon(5km i came in 15 out of 75) i would say take it slow, try to get your stamina higher and suicide's(those kill )

Football. Like proper football. Played with the feet.

well most people dont know that

Don't mind me, I'm just sarcastic

Usually if you just say "fútbol" everybody will get it.

Thats a top suggestion, I'm going to use it in the future

I am old now so my serious playing days are in the past. I played the American style Football for a total if 8 years. The summer before my junior year in high school two friends and I lifted weights and ran about two miles up and then back down a hill by our school. We knew a guy that had the key to the school weight room and also got us into the pool afterward.now basketball is a different animal. So I would go with light weights to tone muscle and lots of different types of running. Sprints as well as distance for endurance.

ok, thanks

 

I used to swim and play soccer, but I can't do either anymore I'm going to do Track in the spring, and I did it from 7-8th grade, and was one of the fastest sprinters (mile is another matter ) As for suicides... don't get me started, I used to have to do 20 a day, with only 2 or 3 breaks, or we had to run 10 laps around the gym.

 

As for the muscles, I haven't actually played in a year and a half, so it's going to be tricky for endurance, but I'm determined to make the team!

I played 14 years of baseball. Long, long ago.

 

Ran three years of track too, but wasn't nearly as accomplished a runner as I was a first baseman.

Equestrian.

ooo... really?? I've always wanted to ride a horse, but never got around to it. Is it fun, what's the horse's name? Do you own it? (imma stop babbling for now )

O.o

 

A marathon is 26.2 miles. That's a little over 42km. Me thinks you still have 37km to go.

This was a under 15, so they were a bit kind and it might have been because it was 40(celsius) out

I just think you should go into politics. Either [American political] party works.

I ride horses too but have to take a break now cos my mare is pregnant :) Not like she's fast anyway (clydesdale) but I help out on the Arab horse/endurance riding farm down the road Training the youngsters and such. And my stallion is old enough to ride now so I'm slowly getting there XD we haven't been out of the round pen yet... but anyway that's horse exercising XD

 

I go running when the weather's nice, and kick a ball around with my brothers - I played on the local U15 team when I stayed in Germany with my grandparents in 2009, and otherwise leap at the chance to play football whenever I go to places that actually have it...

 

Grr too rural to play a team sport - something I'm DEFINITELY gonna get in to when I go to uni!! :D

 

 

Futbol people, what position do you all play? I'm a striker

SNAP! :D Same here. I was lousy defence, pretty good goalie if I say so myself but I can't stand to stay in one spot all the time XD

I played futbol (soccer in my country) from the time I was 7 to about 9, and I was usually the goalie.

I used to play soccer. That was pretty fun, although I always had suspicions that my coach was trying to kill me in practices... But that let us win against all the teams that DIDN'T get killed in practice, so it worked out. Pretty sure we went undefeated that year.
