    Boxing's a great sport if you don't mind the high probability of head injuries.

    And if you're going to mitigate that risk by not ever actually fighting, I don't quite see the point of the specific training.

    If you're just into a sport for 'fitness and fun', why not choose a sport that's more about, uh... fitness and fun? As opposed to fighting.

    But, hey, whatever floats your boat, right?

    My main problem is I get bored of doing the same thing time and time again, if I'm learning and being taught something I tend to stick at things longer. Can you advise me on some sports that would be good for fitness and fun that I may not get bored of too quickly please.

    Is that the one that's just opened behind Richard's motorcycles? I saw that and that's what sparked this idea, could be worth a look eh?

    Actually, that's not a silly idea. Someone else mentioned ballroom dancing, which interests me also, however I KNOW my hubby would NOT do that and so I'd have to dance with a bunch of sweaty unknown men... ewwwwwww. Unless Number One wants to come along and we can take turns at being the man I should warn though, I have two left feet, no rhythm and not the daintiest creature on earth, so maybe I should be the man!

    Well, I find that road cycling fits that bill - all the basic attractions of motorcycling, freedom and fresh air etc, plus it serves the purpose of super-economical transport (particularly useful when one runs into motor vehicle licence issues!) and has huge strength and fitness benefits.

    And you get to wear Lycra?

    I wouldn't call that a benefit.

    But if you don't want to be seen in lycra, you can always pop something baggy and stylish over it.

    You do need the stretchy shit as a bottom layer to save your skin, though.

    But, no, it's not compulsory to display it as shamelessly as I do.

    Cheers. I do have a pretty good bike that I have only riden on the road once (rest of the time it's on a windtrainer) and do enjoy cycling. The main issue I personally have with that at the moment is that I'm really unfit and everytime I go for a ride I have to then cycle or push the bike up the bloody great hill we live on the top of, so until I gain some initial fitness it's really not going to happen. The other thing I've been thinking of doing is loading the bike in the car and taking it somewhere flat to ride for an hour and then take it home, which is an option, albeit a time consuming one. But thanks.

    Yes, Christchurch is a far better town for beginner cyclists than Wellington.

    I have a perverse and masochistic desire to cycle up to James Deuce's house sometime, y'know, just to see what it'd be like.

    Perhaps I'll bring the bike next time I'm down.

    You should! I'll come for a ride, but not up the hill, maybe down the hill!!

    Now that sounds like my kind of exercise! I don't mind hill climbing when I'm pissed!
