My favorite sport is soccer. Some people don't like to play sports but just like to watch them. Who likes to play them? What are they?

My husband loves watching his favourite football team, I send him upstairs to watch matches though if they clash with a soap lol I used to play tennis and badminton a few years ago, I should take them up again and become fitter I'd love to go swimming again to, that has to be my favourite sport, its so relaxing. Tut tut Susie, fancy not wanting to do 50 star jumps every morning like me Do you play soccer Rap or do you just watch it?

I like to walk and jog for an hour every day. But mostly my husband and I like to horseback ride. Those of you who don't think it's exercise - that the HORSE does all the work- should know that it burns about 250 calories an hour. And you KNOW how sore your behind gets after riding so you must be using some muscles!

Oh thats great Rap, I like how you call it Soccer, in England we tend to call it Football I can imagine horse riding is hard work Kitty, my girls would complain that their legs hurt as you have to use alot of muscle power don't you. Well done walking or jogging for an hour

I like yoga and swimming - nothing too strenuous!
I don't really like watching sports either, but I always watch the gymanstics when the Olympics are on. Especially if Alexei Nemov is competing lol.
I used to play badminton too, Jackie! The last time I played was a bit of a flop - my dad dragged me out of bed on a Sunday morning to make up the numbers for a game of doubles when someone was ill, and I was rather hung over. The first time I went for the shuttlecock, I just fell forward and banged my knees rather badly lol. I'm always a terrible doubles partner as if in doubt, I assume the other person will go for it and I stay put!

I love watching Athletics, swimming, gymnastics and wheelchair racing. I used to do tons of sport before my tumour, mainly gymnastics. I am a qualified coach too, but have not done that for a good 10 years now. I do have medals and trophies from wheelchair javelin and racing tho

Lol I didn't even notice that!! I'm not good enough to be competitive about it *sniiiiff*! I could come and play though and make you all feel good! Mind you, I'm even worse at tennis - I can only hit the ball (I can say 'ball' right lol?) twice in a row unless the other person makes an effort to hit it right to me! Jackie, are you serious about Morris Dancing?! Oh please say you have photos!!! I used to do gymnastics, but then I got too tall - oh life has been hard to me in the sporting sense!

I wish I was taller lol, I'm only 5 ft 4. I have small legs I think there is a pic of me Morris dancing somewhere Treen. We was in the local paper ;D Oh how I loved my little bells on my white pumps, I was just like Tinkerbell. I had a tambourine to because I was leader. We used to go to Carnivals and join the parades, it was really nice. I'll take a pic of my medals, even though they are well over 30 years old
