Are You a "Fitness Freak", Try These Sports..

Parkour

For the more adventurous people, parkour will definitely give you a thrill. A combination of jumping, climbing, crawling, and running across a city and its buildings, it is definitely not for the faint-hearted. You’ll also need more preparation than with other urban sports in order to build up muscles and endurance.

Street soccer

If you don’t have access to football pitches and fields, Soccer fans can still improvise with the most basic equipment — all you need to do is grab your ball and find a little space, a few friends, and a wall or fence as a makeshift goal.

Urban golf

Recent research has highlighted some of many health benefits of a round of golf. But for those who can’t make it to the countryside, urban golf could be the answer. No course needed, you can play the sport in public spaces and on the streets of your city — you just need clubs and a target.

Urban rollerblading

Want to feel like a kid again? Get your skates on. Rollerblading through the city is a great way to have fun and keep fit. Health benefits of this low-impact sport include burning calories, building strength and conditioning muscles, and it’s a great complement to other sports too. 

Street hockey

Based on ice hockey, street hockey can be played outdoors, literally in streets or driveways, or, if you have access, in public courts, gyms and rinks.

Street workouts

You may have already seen equipment in parks and public spaces for street workouts and calisthenics. The workout is tough, but by using just your own body weight, you’ll see impressive results. 

Slacklining

Slacklining is an easy sport to practice in parks. Once you’ve invested in a slackline strap, you just need to find two trees and the confidence to walk across the slackline. Health benefits include improved balance, muscle strength, and concentration, as well as lots of fun.
