If you could learn or try a new sport

[joenali]

What would it be? You don't have to be good, just have a genuine inerest in learning or trying something new.

I would love to try rowing. We have several rowing clubs here and I always say I want to try it but I haven't yet. Maybe one day!

I really want to get into Tennis but need to increase my shoulder strength before I can even try.

[Susie]

Me too on the rowing.

I'm too short to be any good at it, but it looks fun.

[ckinla]

Tennis. I took lessons in college, but haven't since. Also golf. Again, I've taken lessons and played some. My BF says I have a natural talent for it, but I'm not very consistent.

[al320]

fencing. i have really long arms and id have a really long reach. i think i missed my calling, id be kick ass at fencing.

[taratru]

Gymnastics.

But since I'm old now and that's probably not happening, I'll choose judo. It looks fun.

[katinthehat]

Rowing. They have I think the best bodies in all of the Olympics.

I'd love to get into jumping. I haven't had riding lessons since I was 8, but I totally want to be one of those 40 year old women at the Olympics for the first time ever.

Heptathalon. But only if I get to look like Ennis in the end.

[shorty20]

Skateboarding.

Yes, I know it's a sport for teenage boys, but this 36 year old woman thinks it looks fun! I love snowboarding, so how different can it be?

[breezy8407]

Tennis. H plays and I would love to be able to go out and play a match against him and have it be competitive vs. me hitting the ball into the net each time

Rowing is a good one, too. I have zero exposure to it and the times I have used a machine I have wanted to die. I have seen the college rowing teams along the river here and it looks so cool.

I quit soccer and did rowing instead in college. It's awesome. Insanely hard work, but awesome. Susie Derkins, you can do it even if you're short. I'm 5'3 and was one of the best people on our team. My 4+ lightweight boat won nationals my second year of rowing, and the tallest person in our boat was 5'6". I was the same height as our coxswain. Granted, most people won't even look at you if you're short, but you can prove them wrong if you really want to.

I want to get back into rowing. But, since I already know how to do it, I think perhaps football is my choice for this question. A friend from high school is on a women's professional team out in Utah and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Skiing/snowboarding.

I live in/near the mountains, so it's not like this is unavailable to me, but it's an expensive hobby and I'm terrified of ski lifts (falling off them, specifically) so we haven't tried it yet.

[LWoods]

Muay Thai and Capoeira (sp?)

[Brie]

Olympic weightlifting. I mean, I know how to lift weights, but I'd love to train with a real weightlifting coach.

I would also love to learn to ski. It looks fun.

[sadlebred]

Ice skating. I can skate, but I want to be able to jumps and spins.

[melodramatic26]

swimming. I know how to "swim" but never really learned the proper techniques for each form. It's definitely on my to-do list once I feel like I have a little spare time in my life.

I started skating in college. I like running, but I LOVE to skate.

[ahsweetlee]

It sounds strange but Squash. I used to work at a club that had squash courts and the idea that you 'work the ball' and make a non bouncy ball bounce off the walls and racquets intrigues me.

[shorewife]

Gymnastics or ice skating. But I'm too old now. So maybe kiteboarding?

[G22]

I really miss surfing but since we live nowhere near the ocean, I don't do it anymore. I'd like to try paddle boarding though, since its something I can do here.

Tennis but I think I'd be awful. My hand/eye coordination is horrendous.

[Wines Not Whines]

Swimming. I know how to swim, but I want to be able to swim well.

[aweilba]

Surfing. I love being in the water, and wish I lived by an ocean. If I ever take a vacation to Hawaii or somewhere else that has a high surfing population, I am totally taking lessons.

[dmxm]

I rowed in college, too, and it was awesome. Anyone can do it! I wish I could do some fancy diving. If I could just do one dive perfectly, I'd love to bust it out every now and then at our town pool.

[lauree1183]

I really want to try paddleboarding! Several lakes in MN rent em out and it looks like a blast, just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I also want to try surfing and am contemplating a 1-day lesson when we go to Puerto Rico this winter

[gumi]

surfing. too bad i never lived by a beach :-(

martial arts would be cool too.

[Deleted]

I would love to learn how to sail.

[katandkevin]

Rowing. I have strong shoulders from swimming so I think I would be good at it.

[mrshandy]

Swimming I think. I know how to swim, but not proper technique.
