<p>that doesn't involve water, or a lot of athletic ability?</p>
<p>so basically, i want to start exercising a lot more, but it's hard to do it when it's not exactly fun. i cannot catch or throw to save my life. i used to be in tennis, but i wasn't very good so i quit, but now it's hard to play tennis w/o anyone else who's your skill level. </p>
<p>i don't know. how much skill does soccer take? :-p</p>
<p>Try track. Everybody makes the team.</p>
<p>i am a horrendously slow runner </p>
<p>:( wahh</p>
<p>Well what sports does your school offer?</p>
<p>You could always try squash or racquetball.</p>
<p>Golf requires no skill.</p>
<p>Pfft, golf requires plenty of skill, it just doesn't require alot of atheltic ability (fast runner, high jumper, etc.)</p>
<p>Soccer takes an enormous amount of skill.</p>
<p>Try powerlifting or bodybuilding.</p>
<p>Golf is too hard. </p>
<p>You can try soccer or swimming.</p>
<p>golf or badminton.</p>
<p>Uhhh well personally I think cheerleading is a lot of hard work and it's fun as long as you're up for the dancing, tumbling, and conditioning but I know a lot of people think it's not serious...</p>
<p>i just need something that will force me to work out almost every day (i don't take gym this year)that's not incredibly boring</p>

this is ridiculously untrue</p>
<p>If you are a slow runner and have no athletic ability, get soccer right out of your mind. It takes speed, endurance, vision, skill, balls and many other qualities to be a good soccer player. I consider soccer one of the hardest sports to play, physically at least.</p>
<p>bowling? frisbee?</p>
<p>Just run.</p>
<p>Soccer is a very difficult sport that really takes a toll on your body.</p>
<p>Try out football :P</p>
<p>I like the frisbee idea.</p>
<p>Don't do swimming, it is ridiculously hard/competitive.</p>
<p>Do track. Seriously. Even though you might be a slow runner that won't matter. I'm assuming your track team practices everyday, so you'll get excercise everyday. Plus, if you run distance (instead of sprinting, jumping, hurdling, etc) you'll get to run road loops, which basically you can run at your own pace. I was basically in your situation last year. I wanted a sport to do but I had little athletic ability. Join track, get in shape, and soon enough you'll be a faster runner.</p>
<p>If your track team doesn't make cuts then just join that, if you don't want to compete then just go to practices.</p>
<p>Cross country skiing teams are usually small enough that everyone makes the cut. It'll keep you in shape no matter how much technique you have.</p>
<p>Frisbee is also amazing, and doesn't require too much coordination. It involves a lot of throwing and catching, but all of that is relatively easy.</p>
<p>Also, I highly recommend crew (aka rowing), even though it involves water. Ideally, a rower never comes in contact with any water that's not associated with a bottle - but things like accidents and lack-of-skill happen. Many rowers I know have little hand-eye coordination; some were athletically incapable when they joined the team. It's pretty easy to join a team/club, there are usually no prerequisites other than a very basic level of fitness, and the ability to swim and tread water for a while. Also, if you happen to be a shorter/smaller person, there are lightweight programs for guys 160 lbs and under, and girls 130 lbs and under.</p>
<p>Of course, I'm just another crew-nerd who thinks that rowing is the only real sport.</p>
<p>Warning: crew is a cult.</p>
