Healthy living is personal but it truly does start with one’s self. Diet remains paramount for healthy living, but so is physical activity. During our 20s, our body usually is at peak, but when it comes to our late 20s, that’s when the physical signs of aging may slowly start manifesting – as well as other conditions we may have.
For me, it was my PCOS. For my sister, it was her fatty liver, and to get better results in the laboratory and for our health, both of us worked on our health through diet and, of course, upping our physical activity.
In this article, we’ve rounded up sports that are worth trying and are competitve!
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
A lot of the techniques of MMA might be life-ending, and it’s sure pretty intense. However, its nature as a martial art that borrows other techniques is fascinating!
Taking on MMA can help you build confidence, help with your moods, and of course, become more physically fit and active.
Esports
Esports is the term for “electronic sports.” It’s competitive video gaming, and has quite of a big following. The world of esports is dynamic, and fun and has been explored lately in movies such as Good Game and Friendly Fire.
Much like traditional sportsmen, yes, people who love video games also enjoy the competition. We’ve got rankings, and even bigger prize money for tournaments. It’s accessible due to the commonality of personal computers, streaming and there’s also the possibility of going pro!
Pickleball
A favorite with the oldies, this sport’s now attracting younger people! You play Pickleball with paddles and use a smaller court. Its rules are easy to learn and might be a little confusing but it’s simple once you get used to playing it.
However, the biggest draw is that you can manipulate the pace of your pickleball game. It can get you working your various limbs and sweat. It’s high in demand these days and can help tone your body up, too.
Volleyball
Versatility is the game of volleyball. While this game used to be popular with women, more men and children are now appreciating it. On sand, grass, and under the sun, you can play this game!
Hand-eye coordination, speed, and power are the kings of volleyball. This sport gives your legs and limbs a hard workout – great if you want to tone your body more while having fun. It’s also a team sport; the socialization aspect makes it all the more enjoyable!
Swimming
Want to have a low-impact but fun workout? Get in the water while swimming! Summer is the season for swimming. When not in summer, it’s still possible for you to get a workout in the water by going to the swimming pool nearest you.
