Specifically, basketball. Specifically, pick-up basketball. No refs. No timeouts. No fouls. Just running up and down the court and putting the ball in the hoop. Let me tell you, if the NBA played that way, most of the pros would never be able to keep up. That was the way we played when I was in high school and it was the fittest I ever was.

Swimming
Yup. That’s right. Moved to the wrong part of the country. Can’t even think about swimming in the Mississippi River. People have tried it. Not many have lived to tell about it. The closest decent lake is Sardis and it takes over an hour to get there.
I’m not all that great at it anyway. The neat part is, when I do swim, it’s a real workout. It takes 3 or 4 times the energy for me to go as far as others to travel the same distance.
My younger son had swimming lessons and he makes it look effortless. Now, I ask you. Can a person get any real exercise that way?
The best part about swimming for a workout, it’s usually real cool.
