So you've been struggling to find a fun sport to do for fun, or for health benefits. Below are listed some excellent sports to get your adrenaline pumping, smiles all over your face, along with the name of the sport is a description of the game.

Floor Hockey - You will need hockey sticks appropriate for wood floors (it is preferred to do in a gym, or cement works as well) and 6 players on each team (a total of 12) Each side of the court/floor will need a goalie to guard the goal. The objective is to score goals with the hockey puck. There are several rules, such as off-sides, penalty shots, slashing, and etcetera.

Frisbee Football - This game is fun and easy, considering that the only thing that you will need is a Frisbee! Distribute an even amount of players (you don't HAVE to if you are short of some teammates) on each side, as well as 1 goalie on each end (2 goalies total). You throw the Frisbee to your teammates across the field to try and get the Frisbee into the goal to score a point, while the opposing team attempts to intercept the passes. When the opposing team intercepts the Frisbee they will switch to the other goal that they are trying to score from. There are off-sides, and other rules that apply.

Handball - This can be a moderately intense game if attempted to, but for the most part it is quite leisurely. As Floor Hockey above, you will need 6 players on each team as well. You will need a small soft ball and 1 goalie on each end, as always. You will pass the ball to your teammates, as the opposing team tries to intercept the ball to score a goal. You may not hit the ball out of the opposing team's hands; you must wait to intercept the ball in the air. There are off-sides and penalty shots, and the ball must NOT fall on the ground. If the ball falls on the ground, it will go to the opposing team, so remember to keep it in the air! If you hit the ball out of the opposing team's hands, the opposing team will be served a penalty shot.

Wiffle Ball - This is a softer version of baseball and soft-ball for indoor gym activities! You will use a plastic hand sized ball and there will be 4 base mats, just like the outdoor game. With common sense, you should all know that you will need a bat. In most cases for this game, you use a plastic bat. This game does not necessarily have to have a particular amount of players on each team, but it might be wise to have the team in the outfield with a more restricted number of people. As usual, it is 3 strikes of the bat- and you're out! It is a very leisurely game and quite fun!

Pickle Ball - As Wiffle Ball is a more leisurely version of base-ball and softball, Pickle Ball is a more leisurely version of Tennis. You will need a net in the middle of the court, and 2 players on each team, and 2 paddles. A small hand sized plastic ball will be used for this game. The person serving the ball will serve to the person opposite of them on the other side. You will attempt to keep the ball going back and fourth from both teams until a game point is scored. There are sidelines that are counted as out, so try to keep the ball in the court or your opposing team may get the ball! A typical game usually lasts 7 - 14 minutes. Extremely light in exercise, but none the less a very fun game!

Frisbee Tag - Being that Frisbee is so fun, here is another game that you can play! This game is fairly to extremely intense! Who would have thought Frisbee could ever leave you breathless? You can have as many players as desired, but try to make sure it is an even count! Very simple and basic rules for this game, yet extremely exhilarating! There are no goalies needed, but you run and try to hurry to get the ball passed to your teammates before the opposing team tags you! If they tag you, the other team gets the ball, and you keep chasing each other! Very fun for excitement, laughter and a superb fitness routine to get into!

Line Tag - This is another really fun game to consider as well. You will need a gym court for this game, and no teammates! You are an individual on this task trying to get out of a situation of getting caught! Do not have more than 6 people on the court at one time while playing this game or it will be too easy to tag! In this task you must stay on every line of the gym court. You run around the court on the lines trying to tag one another. If you step off of the lines, you're out! If you're tagged as well, obviously to common knowledge, you will be out as well.

Horse-Back riding - If you have access to go take horse riding lessons, or have a friend (it always works if you own one too) that approves of letting you, go ride that thing into the wind! You wouldn't think that horseback riding could make you fit, but it is quite the work-out. Especially when you go at a faster pace than just having the horse walk (don't torture it though!). This will work your abdominals like crazy! Get some imagination and go ride on a trail in the mountains, or on the beach of the ocean. If you don't have access to that, of coarse a field would work too.

Swimming - No, this does not necessarily mean that you have to have a pool. If you have access to mountains, go jump in a crystal clear lake and if you really feel like going wild, try swimming under the stars! Pools can be very fun too, especially if they provide a diving board or a water-slide. Swimming is an excellent, relaxing but wonderful way to get toned up. You use all of your body parts when swimming and it can be either extremely wild or very relaxing. Perhaps there is a safe creek that you can wade in, or always the ocean or sea if you have access to it. Use water toys to make it more exciting, there are many games that you can play such as Marco Polo and etcetera. Go wild and get wet!

Hiking - A VERY wonderful way to get a breath of fresh air, relax, endure the meditation of nature and get fit in a hurry! Make sure that you keep a water bottle near you at all times, and bring a friend to make it more fun. You will find that when you are hiking a mountain on a trail you take greater strides with your legs and your heart rate climbs up dramatically! This is a recommended exercise for pure enjoyment and meditation for the mind! Be sure that you are safe and know how to find your way back and keep your body well hydrated.
There are some wonderful activities that you should give a shot at! Give them a try, you'll have a lot more fun than you think!
