When it comes to exercise, I am by no means a team member.
Like most people I know, I go to the gym alone, avoiding eye contact with anyone familiar, avoiding sweaty, awkward kisses.
I am a keen runner listening to my iPod on the treadmill and the Sunday supplement covers the time panel.
But spring requires new challenges that need to be freed from the tedious gym.
Just drive the car outside the park (
Still a world away from any interaction with life, unless you accidentally hit another jogger or Swan in your reverie)won't do.
Recent research shows that only 21 per cent of Londoners
Recommended level of exercise (three 30-Minutes meeting)each week.
This makes London one of the least active areas in the UK, proving that everyone is just sitting in a coffee shop and drinking white coffee.
The idea of coming to sports is to stay relaxed and social while also providing good exercise without worrying that the participants are not good enough to be selected for the team.
No ears-
Curling rugby, no tedious teamwork and endurance testing.
My last time in a sports team was a charity round table game about five years ago and my lack of connection with the ball still resonated in the nightmare, so I agreed with fear to try three of the five sports.
The London City girls' school in Moorgate has a gym that makes me miss my own school time, the creaking of rubber soles on the floor of the gym, the echo of names and instructions, the whistle, red face, sometimes panic. Uni-
Rules: Uni-
Play indoors with plastic sticks, a hole-shaped plastic ball and six players on each side.
You hit the ball at each other's goal, trying to pass and pass.
Block your opponent's pass and deal with them if you dare.
What is the feeling? Quite intense.
Cracking of plastic sticks, panic of shovels, people shouting (at me? ).
Speed and passion, although nothing has passed, because everyone is only pursuing glory for the goal.
My performance: I hit the ball a few times with various parts of the stick and swept one or two. Fun factor: 6 —
Whether it's "college" or not, hockey is always a little frustrated and stressful for me.
Exercise factors: 7-
My blood and heart rate will definitely go up, although it may be more than any real involvement to follow the ball up and down from the pitch.
Rule: match your opponents against a ball in the middle of the room and throw them out.
If someone throws a ball at you, try to catch it or dodge it.
What is the feeling?
It's very interesting, because the memories of Ben Stiller in the movie "dodge ball" are constantly emerging.
It's quite confusing because the balls of all kinds of power are everywhere.
How do I perform: I'm good at running for the ball, catching the ball and dodging the ball, and at the same time a bit squeaky.
But my throwing is not strong enough to take people out, usually just getting caught playing an arc in a poor hanging ball. Fun factor: 7 —
Even thrown by the ball of the noisy boy.
Exercise factor: 5-
In this game, you are limited to half of the pitch, so there is a lot of adrenaline, but there is very little exercise.
If you are good at throwing, it is good for the shoulders.
Inner tube water ball rule: sit in a rubber ring, paddle towards your goal, pass while you go, and turn your opponent up on the road.
What is the feeling?
Very striking, with a lot of sweet, familiar scents of whistles, screams and corrosive chlorine.
There is a lot of fun and the least competitive in the game.
My performance: I found it difficult to drive my inflatable boat and sometimes slipped down before the whistle rang
Blower, Luvers, did it blow up?
But I did participate several times through mascara tears. Fun factor: 8 —
Water and floating equipment can't help but be happy.
Exercise factors: 7-
When caught in the ring, all bumps are good for abs. More info: www. comeplay. co. uk.
